Hey Guys, my name is Michael, resident in SA, pretty new to SAU and wondering if the team can help me this..

Theres a skyline r34 GTT i am suppose to buy this week except when I look at the pictures again the engine it looks different from other R34 turbocharged engines.

He seller said the neo cover is missing fair enough but it looks like a r33 turbocharged engine.

I will show you some pictures soon, but also I asked some guys to run a nissan fast vin check and it says Skyline GT, from here I assume it was a non-turbo then dropped a 33 turbocharged?

any help would much be appreciated.

The picture with the circles around 2 components i believe to be the same as the r33.

I guess what I am trying to prove is that this car was a non turbo model to begin with and then the owner dropped a r33 turbocharged engine.

I posted the car I want to buy (has circles on components)

A r33 turbocharged

A r34 turbocharged (has neo cover)

and the vin check Dicer checked

it says in the vin check RB25DE. almost 100% sure this means race bread 2.5L double over head cam elec fuel inj... if it said rb25det then it would be a turbo... so my guess is he got him self a cheep non turbo 34.. droped a 33 rb25 in and is trying to flog it off :thumbsup:

id confirm that too, no electronic throttle actuator like the R34...its a series 2 R33 motor. Also the car, its a non turbo car....which if previously not changed it still has non turbo brakes i would imagine.

Edited by Ryanrb25

its origional r34 n/a engine with turbo parts from an r33 bolted on

check if the brakes are turbo ones and see if its got an lsd diff

some non turbo r34s have different colour interior as well

also does it have the 3 center guages?

im not 100% sure but i reckon ive seen this same car for sale on ebay sometime last year for 18k?

from the pictures it doesnt look like turbo calipers

the diff would be non lsd

doesnt have traction control

wont have hicas

the suspension would be n/a type (r33)

the dash was probably changed to fit the guages as well

id avoid it buddy

hm crap,,

this car has got a full exhaust set up, adjustable suspension, front mount and pod.

thats all i know of at the moment.

would this car not be worth getting? and what else/financially would this car need to get it up to a normal gt-t.

I have to go to sydney to check it out next week but if any opinion that its crap I will change my mind.

full exhaust set up, adjustable suspension, front mount and pod is a waste of time if u have non turbo brakes

is it even registered as a turbo/gtt?

good luck with it buddy

hope u make the right decision

btw i saw this car for sale on ebay in january 2007 i even saved the picture for reference coz it looked sus

the guy has had a hard time selling it

Why bother even thinking about a dodgied up car? I think it is an R33 engine, as the traction control throttles are missing. There are plenty of local examples for reasonable prices.

i can confirm that by looking at the pics that r34 has a r33 motor in it.....i wont buy it mate....look around and you will get one thats even better may be....go and ask around for local importers.....i know of Dave from Elite Auto Imports and from what i have heard he gets some wicked cars in.....maybe pay him a visit....last time i checked he had a R34 GTT for sale....PM if you want his details

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
