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.

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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
