Hi all,

I decided i was going to buy a r34 a while ago and have been looking around, I found this guy advertising a r34 GTS but Ive never heard of an r34 GTS, so was asking if there is actually such a car?

as far as I knew there were these models: (excluding the GT-R's)

  • GT - 2.0 L , 140 hp (103 kW)
  • 25 GT, GT-X, GT-V - 2.5 L , 193 hp (142 kW)
  • GT-FOUR - 2.5 L , 193 hp (142 kW) 4WD
  • GT-T - 2.5 L , 280 hp (206 kW, 343 Nm)

thanks

No some thing as a GTS I believe, he must mean a GT-Four if it is 4wd and non turbs

thanks, another Q, What is a semi-automatic car? never seen one. Do you still have to change gears? or use the clutch?

thanks

semi-automatic can also be known as Selectronic or Tip tronic. It has no clutch and is basically an auto but you have the option to switch to "manual mode" up change the gears up or down (+ or -) Google it in images and you will get some pics. Had it in my old car and didn't really like it as you still get the lag in gear changes, just means you can hold in gear as long as you choose but still have the option of an auto car.

What happened to the 's' when they went onto the R34's? It has always been R32 'GTS' something and R33 'GTS' something (except GTR). Why did Nissan decide to get rid of the 's' for the R34's? Is it no longer a 'sports' type of car?

Cos the 34 is awesome and doesn't need the "S"

I really don't know but on my old car the "GT-t" badge looked horn. so much funkier than they old r33 sticker that said "GTS25T" or whatever

I have another question, I am set on buying an R33, and preferably a series II one as well (1996-97). So I found one car advertised as a 1996 GTST r33, and another as a 1996 GTST r33 M spec. Whats the diff between the M spec and the regular GTST?

mspec im pretty sure is the one with sunroof and a change in the front bar.... other than that not much....

thanks mate,

the pic of the cars I can buy are in the attachment, the second pic is the other skyline i can pick from. which one looks better you reckon? (i couldnt figure out how to just stick the image in the post :S They are both 1996 r33 GTST's, the blue one cost $11,500 with 100,000k's. the white one $13,500 with 70,000k's. i reckon the white looks better, and the blue cars wheels are pretty bad too.

If they were both of equal quality, I'd get the blue one. Wheels are easy to change, but the white one looks better. Buy the one with the things in better condition in my opinion.

yeah, was thinking about that. heres a pic of the two engines: the blue line's engine seems to be shinier :yes: now which one would you buy?

A question I would ask myself is, "Why is the engine so clean in the first place? What was it like before? Was it leaking oil everywhere and he just cleaned it up to make it look 'better'?" Those questions could be shit, but you never know, something could've gone wrong and he just cleaned the engine to hide that problem.

I would just purchase the car that's in better condition overall.

Goodluck with your purchase, I would still go for the white one. I just like white :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
