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 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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
