Hi,

I was actually going to start a thread in relation to the Anniversary models myself as I have recently bought one, but you've saved me the job :thumbsup:

My car is a Skyline GTS-t Type M 60th Anniversary, and since I've had it I've found a bit of information, but if anyone can help fill in the gaps it would be much appreciated...

Anyway, Here is a few pages from the original sales brochure (it would be very hand if anyone can read low resolution japanese to fill out the details)

The 60th anniversary version was built to celebrate Nissan's 60th Anniversary in 1993, as opposed to the R33 40th Anniversary version which was built to commemorate the Skyline's 40th Anniversary. As far as I can tell the following features came standard on the 60th Anniversary versions:

- Fog/driving lights in front spoiler

- GTR front and rear seats

- Rear Spoiler with brake light

- 'Super Fine Coating' - not sure what this was (some kind of paint treatment?) - more info. would be appreciated

- Gold Badges

- Special Key

- Projector Headlights

- Different steering wheel (?) with Airbag(?) (not sure on this one -but on the sun visor on my car it has a bunch of japanese with 'SRS Airbag' written in large letters in the middle of it - so if anyone can confirm this it would be great).

- Different stereo/radio

It would be interesting if someone could provide a figure for how many 60th Anniversary editions were made in Japan, and how many forum readers actually have one...

Some more information from the forums...

And a couple of pics of my car (non standard wheels obviously...)

I await more info on the R32 60th anniversary, and a write up on the R33 40th anniversary :O

oo real nice Chris-06R

Did yours come with the anniversary key + gold badges?

Mine basically looks exactly like yours (1993) although it didnt include all the anniversary features :D

Another 60th anniversary bonus, i believe, is the chrome lip running ontop of the frontbar.

Also does your horn button blend in with the steering wheel material? Ive picked up a series 1 steering wheel but they have a shiny plastic horn button instead.

Interesting thread. I didnt know about the significance of my 60th Anniversary key!

- Fog/driving lights in front spoiler - Dont have this because of a GTR bar

- GTR front and rear seats - Interestingly mine are leather GTE-V seats.

- Rear Spoiler with brake light - Have this..

- 'Super Fine Coating' - Mines been repainted- Gold Badges

- Special Key - Got this but the clear cover bits come off

- Projector Headlights - Um.. if I have them Id hate to see normal ones cos mine are shithouse

- Different steering wheel (?) with Airbag(?) - I have this but steering wheel has been replaced so Airbag is no longer there (I have that crap all over the visor too- Different stereo/radio - Had this and took it out "Carrozerra" or something..

First I've heard about it and never thought about the differences..

Are these the projector lights?

Does anyone have a list or know what anniversary model skylines have ever been released.. i am more curious about the R33's, but all models are good. I have a 40th anniversary 1997 R33 GTS-T. What other "special" editions have been released?

I have the R33 40th too but it's 1998.

I'm sure all the other I've seen a '98 too.

Get your VIN checked, you might be suprised and find it's a 98 that was incorrectly stamped. :D

The obvious things are rear badges on the outer C-columns (if that's what you call em)

and badges on the front 2 seats

That's about it which really sucks for a so-called special edition

..but the badges do look good

I have the R33 40th too but it's 1998.

I'm sure all the other I've seen a '98 too.

i think the mistake stamping is extremely unlikely. i asume it would be the same as all the other 40th editions. defenitely surprised if it was the only 1997 model. a lot of cars/motorbikes are built one year, released the next. , For example my dad just bought a 2007 model yamaha FJR 1300, but it was built in 2006. The R33's ceased production in march 1998. my car says august 97.

Thanks, yeah mine came with the gold badges and key...

Also I did notice that chrome lip on top of the front bar but I didn't realise that was unique to the anniversary models - ah the things you learn :D

And yep, my horn button blends in

I think its probably related to the airbag - which would have to be an unusual system compared to most cars considering that horn button is right in the middle like that, and not made up of the whole centre/airbag assembly like on most cars with airbags.

I think the projector lights are just the same lights used on GTRs and the late model GTS-t's (earlier GTS-t's didn't have that circular type projector lamp ?) - correct me if i'm wrong tho.

P.S. I've seen your car in the photo threads elsewhere on here yidz - very hot.

Oh, and Rekin you should get a pic of your car up too

I've got a R33 40th anniversary... It has the optional front bar and spoiler - front bar is similar to a GTR front bar but instead of the fat chunky lip - rear spoiler is an adjustable factory GTR without the words 'GTR' on the sides.

Anyone got brochures for the R33 40th?

Well i did see an advertised 97 model a few years back when looking for a mate.

Looke lookie, no 2nd air bag, but the Aus plate under the bonnet did say 97

The guy was dodgey as and trying a bung deal me thinks.

So it can be done but i think that one was intentional for all the wrong reasons.

But anyways, jump on the VIN check thread, it's free.

...and then you might get lucky and find your cars newer than expected..can't hurt

How is the 2nd air bag relevent? Does only the 98 model have one? My car has one.

My point is, he was advertising a 1997 model R33..obvioulsy should be a Series II in that year range.

It had no 2nd air bag which all Series II do, even 95 which are sometimes refferred to as Series 1.5 have an air bag.

It was at least a 94, but with a 97 plate..

oh ok... i hought maybe this was an indication about my car.. :thumbsup:

My 1993 R32 Skyline Type M was the annivesary ediiton - it came with the keys, gold badges, steering wheel, and the two tone seats!

do you have any pics or extra info?

BTW, I remembered another feature I think might be part of the Anniversary Specials - ABS brakes. My car has them - does everyone else who has/had one have them?

(I have that crap all over the visor too- Different stereo/radio - Had this and took it out "Carrozerra" or something..

Hey I got an R33, I dont know if mine is an aniversary or anything dont even know how to check and it dont have gold badges, but mine did come with the above pioneer "Carrozerra" system in it.

I do not know if this came standard or not, but it did apparently came from japan with them. so i dont know.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
