Did they make a 94 model R33 GTR?

They made 32's til 94 which was the v-spec one but did they start to make the 33's that year as well? I always thought they started in 95......

Reason I ask is someone has one for sale.

No they didn't.

Oh and not all 94 GT-R's were V-spec.

You will probably find the bloke has made a mess of the dates. Get the numbers of the build plate & put it through fast for confirmation.

as well as the V-spec as well.

and the R32 GT-R V-SPEC II was introduced Febuary 14th 1994

Exactly what he said.

The r33 gtr wasnt released till 1995 so he has either stuffed up with the dates or maybe something dodgey

I've got a 94 R32 GTR and it isn't a V-Spec...

Built in July 94.

yeah so? your missing the point.........

what it meant is that......the R32 GT-R V-spec was RELEASED, in 1994!!!! whilst the Standard GT-R was still on the market......get it?

same as the R34 GT-R... when the V-spec was introduced, you could still purchase the STANDARD GT-R brand new......get it?

Well, clearly something is wrong there..

No idea why the thumbs down and also why its impossible.

Paperwork, plates and all can confirm this.

lol i was just playing with ya

anyways...

obviously something went wrong with the compliance process....

how do you know the people didnt get things muddled up during compliance?

im pretty sure it states on the R32 GT-R Brochure that V-spec was released in 1994

so as babyskyline mentioned.....something might even be DOdgy...seller might have even bodged the books.

but if you think with your brain of it logically....

say Nissan released the R32 GT-R officially in 1994.................. what........all of a sudden they skipped the introduction of the R33 skyline GTS, GTS-T and skip the introduction of the R33 GT-R standard.....and wooooooooooop.................here you go R33 GT-R V-spec?!

like i said once again.....obviously something is suss......

Give me your chassis number and I'll plug it into FAST. The only thing I can guess is that they were built very late in '94 in preparation for the '95 release.

Thats the only thing that would make any sense because they would have to start producing them a a month or so before releasing them.

Yeah, all valid points, maybe there is something sus or a mix up during compliance.

I'll get the vin.

So, is it the problem that it is a v-spec or that it is a 94' R33 GTR at all..

yeah iron will sort it out.

ok heres another bit of info from one of my sources....

May 1989 - R32 Shape released

August 1989 - R32 GT-R released (280ps RB26DETT)

August 1991 - R32 GTS25 released (RB25DE)

Febuary 1993 - R32 GT-R V-spec released

August 1993 - R33 shape released

Febuary 1994 - R32 GT-R V-spec II released <-- when the R33 shape was out, as you can see they bought out a V-spec II just a year before they bought an R33 GT-R

January 1995 - R33 GT-R released

May 1998 - R34 shape released

January 1999 - R34 GT-R released

perhaps my suggestion was that the dates was that the GTR 1994 you know of....may have been built displaying the "date of manufacture"

so technically, its a 1995 model car when the first owner bought it brand new in the JDM and it just displays on the plate 1994.

so the with all the paper works.....mechanics, insurance companies, auction bidders, importers etc etc just went by whatever it said under the bonnet.........

makes sense though

but now come to think of it......

i recall seeing "1998 R34 GT-Rs" for sale...

and refering to the info above, it wasnt released in JDM at that stage...but once again a date of manufacture plate.

so this is obviouslt the same thing happening...

well at least you know that the 1998 GTR R34 & the 1994 GTR R33 is the ealiest and first of the first GT-Rs on the front row......

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
