Hello all,

I am interested as to how much R34s and R33s were when they were first released.

i.e How much did it cost to import a brand new r34 gtt in 1999? or a R33 gtst in 1995?

Asking this purely out of curiousity...so all you older members let us know :blink:

In 1998, including 5% GST in Japan, but not on road costs, an R34 GT-t manual 2 coupe new in Japan was $49,729 (at current exchange rates). To import one here would've been closer to $67,000 landed and complied.

The same deal for an R33 in 1995 - $46,967 not including on-roads, and $64,000 landed and complied here.

The first real import I even went in was an R33 S1, built in 1995, imported in 1998, and he paid $40,000 for it. Sounds ludicrous, but when you consider what an '06 model manual V35 coupe would cost to import, let alone a V36, then it starts to make sense.

Just for humour's sake - the same calculations on a 2001 R34 GT-R V Spec II N1 - $101,633 in Japan, $130,000 landed and complied here...

I read the HPI issue when the R34 GT-t was released, the RRP was $120,000 brand new in 1998, it was built to compete with the BMW M3

Wow! And to think I bought my 98 R34 Gtt for less than $20,000 back in June '08! Not brand new obviously but a MASSIVE difference in price!

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
