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 :)

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
