Hello all,

Im am the proud new owner of a R34 gtt. I am suffering from a little bit of confusion about the production year of my car. My importer originally said it was a 98', however this was later changed to a 99'. It is registered as a 99' however the production stamp says 98'. Is there a definitive way of telling the difference?

cheers,

jeff>

Get the VIN and enter it into FAST - this is the definite way to find out the year/month the car was made.

Cool...errr i dont know what FAST is. Im assuming its some sort of database. Help! :D

hey iam soon to purchases my first skyline r34 gtt 2000 model, test drove it the other day and it was off its chains. but i was wondering what the differences are on the yr models [98-01] i've tried searching all over google but had no luck. If you guys know much about 34's let me know. Thanks

Off its chains? :blink: I must be getting old..... At least you used the search function to find this thread :)

Anyway, try this one - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/405704-r34-gtt-series-1-vs-series-2/

also this private seller told me the R34 has 3 yr warranty on it since he bought it off a dealer thus, if i check the VIN through redbook would all the history of the car be shown?

and can the warranty be used once i transfer the car over to my name? Thanks guys

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
