Did All R34 Gt-t's Come With The Triple Gauge Cluster?

Hi all,

I recently looked at an 1998 R34 GT-T (auto). Build plate says RB25DET, it has turbo engine cover and GT-t sticker under RH taillight. Fasted VIN says RB25DET / HI.2WD / 25GTT produced 9810 so that all matches.

However, there is no triple gauge cluster on top of the centre console?! I know that non-turbo GT's came without these but did any GT-T's?

If not, why would anyone remove the cluster and replace it with the flat cover from a GT?

Cheers

I thought they did have the option for the navigation system on the R34 GT-T instead of the 3-gauge cluster.... this is the pop-up screen that sits in the same spot.

In this situation, the navi unit sits where the climate control is normally, and the climate control gets moved down into a din spot.

Is it possible the flat cover is just the pop-up screen that's not popping up (ie: broken). Should be able to tell if it has a navi unit where the climate control unit is normally...

If it's the proper moulded dash I'd be suspect.

Can you remember what colour the steering fluid reservoir was? Normally the fatal mistake people make is leaving the clear n/a one in, when it should be black on the GT-t :D

Brilliant, I think that's it! Front the top, the centre console has:

1. Air vents

2. Thing that looks like a CD player (controls in Japanese, Compact Disc Digital Audio logo in top right above a four-way controller)

3. Climate control

4. Cassette player

I didn't realise there'd be something popping up, gotta have a closer look.

The steering fluid reservoir is next to LH strut tower yeah (turbo side)? It's black, just looked at a photo of a GT engine bay and that one's clear as you said, should be all good.

Thanks guys!

the gtt came out with either the gauge cluster or the pop up screen

my guess is everyone went the gauge cluster because it was a cheaper option !

mine had a screen but i ripped it out coz it was ntsc coded so nothing would work to get it converted to pal would of costed 1000 +

Couple more questions on the same car, didn't want to start a new thread.

The car seems in decent nik but has been garaged for a long time. It drives ok but feels a bit sluggish, when you floor it revs up quick enough but feels a bit 'spongy' and it doesn't really feel like the turbo would kick in properly at all. Could this be the auto slipping or something else? I'll try to run the Auto Transmission Diagnostics when I look at the car next. The 32's I've driven recently go much harder.

There's also a leak under the engine bay with something collecting in the sump guard / undertray - it seems to be on the exhaust / turbo side. Any ideas what this could be? I'll go and have another look over the weekend but thought I'd get some ideas on what to look for exactly. I'll obviously get the car properly checked by a mechanic if I get serious about it.

Cheers!

No leak of anything is good news, discounting the one you take after 10 schooners, if it's dripping as far as he floor I'd get it checked out immediatly , oil , water , brake fluid , trans fluid aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggggggg the bils the bills. :ninja:

Had two different mechanics take a look at the car, all good.

The leak wasn't anything serious and performance is ok for a standard car, turns out I'm just not used to driving bog stock ones :)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
