hi all.

Just having a look at a few 40th anniversary GTS-T's obviously 1998 models.

All of them have the updated trim, rear strut bar and some other 40th anniversary edition features.

Although i have noticed some of them do not have the badging on the pillar stating its the limited edition model.

Just wandering if anyone knows why this is?

I believe its not debadging :)

Thanks

If they're 40th anniv, they'll have the badges, unless they've been removed by 1 of the owners....

Ah i see reason i ask is because i have a 1/1998 GTS-T with the 40th anniversary trim, GTR wing, strut bar and the nismo optioned front bar in the 98 midnight purple. Although i dont have the badging on the exterior. I dont understand why someone would remove it awell i guess.

neither do i! have a nov 97 with strut bar and 40th anniversary seats but no badges on outside! I also have rear pods which i think are different to a normal series2

I have some new 40th ann badges if you need them.. bought them from Nissan Japan for my old 40th ann.

oh no thanks i actually prefer it with no badges, looks smoother but im taking it your 40th anniversary edition didnt have badging either?

nope no pods, mine has different to normal Series 2s the following

-rear strut brace

-optioned GT-R spoiler

-optioned Nismo front bar

-40th anniversary seats

-midnight purple colour which only came on the 40th anniversary models

-it was also built in january 98 which qualifies it to be a 40th anniversary

Thats it as far as i know

the badging is just wierd :S...

yeh i too have had badges removed

my car has had all the 40th anniversary features replaced except for the rear strut brace. guy in japan did it all

the car has been debadged, the rear gtr spoiler was replaced with a d wing and a GT spoiler, the front bar has been replaced by a real 400r front bar which i still have yet to see where to buy a replacement in case this one gets smashed. the 400r front bars you buy online from uas or carmate look very different to mine. mine looks like a modified GTR front bar. and my front seats have been replaced by Recaros. its factory black but yeh definetely a 40th anniversary

I've got '98 40th anniversary myself (I think there's 5 or 6 factory Midnight Purple 40th anniversary in oz).

Mine is in Midnight Purple, 4/98 build, I've got rear strut brace, mine is also debadged I reckon I prefer debadged myself.

I don't know which bar came from factory (have been replaced with 400r replica thing and will get original S2 Bumper painted soon).

I know the interior does have 40th anniversary badges, but mine didn't come with standard interior (got S3 GTR Interior).

Cheers

nice. 4/98 is the newest i have seen :P

I have seen quite alot more then 5 or 6 midnight purple ones in Oz though i rekon there would be more in the double figure range maybe 30-40.

Pretty sure 4/98 is the latest of the r33's (r34 started production from 5/98, feel free to correct me).

I wouldn't say there's 30-40 MP GTST in oz but around 10-15 is do-able (around 5 or 6 is what known to me).

Sorry for off-topic btw.

Not a problem mate.

Im not sure your probably right 4/98 is the newest i have ever heard though.

Well i have definatley seen at least 10 genuine MP 40th anniversaryies, been quite a few for sale lately on car sales lately. I am assuming there might be another 20 though that we just havent heard of but i dont think i will ever know.

Feels good but having such a rare car though doesnt it :P

Yeah it feel kinda cool to be driving around in rare and sexy coloured R33!

About these numbers, we won't know until there's others start putting up their hands saying 'I've got one too!'

Cheers

Grant

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
