Bob, it's all on that site up the top.

You can also go to history.nissan.co.jp and it tells you all the different specs there. I think it was 1998.5 to 2000.8 for series 1 and 2000.8 to 2001.6 for series 2.

Or you can just look at the pics Dave posted - they're definitely series 2s.

BTW Dave, according to the site above, they changed the turbo in the series 2 - that and an ECU tweak might have accounted for the 343 to 363Nm jump.

Yep, the 4 door silver one above is a 4 door R34 GTT, with after market panels added. It's also got the factory optional window tinting of the rear windows, and the 'wind guard' around the front windows..

ie it's the same car as I drive :-)

I'm not sure what the difference was between the GT-X Turbo, and the GTT, though most of the web sites I've seen ie  

http://history.jbskyline.net/index5.php#10thgen

think that the X is the model down.

The X turbo is definitely not the model down. Here's the extras that it gets over the plain turbo -

Xenon lights standard (option for 25GT)

Automatic light system (not available on 25GT)

Driver's seat vanity mirror (not available on 25GT)

8 speaker "Holographic" sound system with CD (25GT has 4 speaker cassette with no option to go to the 8 speaker setup)

I think they also made some changes to the LSD on later model R34's. Definitely better to get a post MY2000 car if you can, though I do prefer the bumpers on the earlier models...

Yeah, I'd like the power and the small extras you get on the series 2, but I can't handle the interior, the front bar and the lip spoiler. I think they were trying to make it a transitional model for the V35.

Spoken like someone who has not driven a 34... :-) :-)

I have driven a vast variety of imported and exotic cars, I would love to own a 34 4 door have only driven 2 door GTT and GTR, but my 33 is sweet and i have still too much work to do to it to get it to where i'm happy.

Either that or i will get the part of my brain removed that makes me love cars too much!!

BTW as an aside, does anyone know if the 25GT-X Turbo models have different badging on the back from the plain 25GTt? I haven't found any close up shots of one - only the 25GTt (maybe the GT-X turbo has the same sticker, so that's why I can't find a shot of a GT-X sticker).

A 25GT-X Turbo does exist, it was only in production between 98/05-00/07.

I also believe that's how the badges look like but never bother to notice if they did also have the GT-t along the bottom.

In all honestly the difference you will find between models apart from trims and specs are the production periods and transmission type available for that period.

Like the only difference between the FRNA: 25GT, 25GT-V and 25GT-X...is the 25GT was released as 4AT all but the last production period between 00/08-01/05, the 25GT-V was available in both 4AT/5MT but only for 2 production periods 98/08-00/07 & 00/08-01/05 and the 25GT-X was made only with 4AT in all production periods respectively. Primiarly the difference between the GT-X and others aside the 25GT Four/L Selection was they were also available in 4WD.

Oh Dave this is the reason why I though you had a 4dr sedan...thanks for pointing that out to me :cheers:.

Thanks for the info Lee. Are you sure about the GT-X being only available in auto though? I've seen a few manual versions that I thought were GT-X's, but if what you're saying is right, then they must have just been plain GT turbos.

Also, those GTX badges are horrible. How could Nissan put that on the back! If I do get one, then it's being debadged the day I get it.

no no no..."25GT-X Turbo" that's the model name (not sure on the badging sorry) came in both 4AT/5MT between 98/05-99/07 & 99/08-00/07 so check for those built periods and you'll be right. Rest are all 4AT NA either FR/4WD, pity though a 4WD turbo variants would have been nice.

I've always like the R34 drs, there is black GT-t parked outside my office lowered on Nismo rims...very sexy.

note: I'll leave you guys to check what the trims/specs are, but the GT-X Turbo model was the most expensive in the ER34 lineup about 3Mil-3.2Mil when new...an no offence to 2dr owners this was also a more expensive car then a 25GT-t 2dr.

I guess I got a little lost in your first post :cheers: Thanks again for the info. Actually, I had a look on Nissan's History site and noticed that they dropped the GT-X Turbo from the lineup for the 2nd series anyway. So I'm guaranteed to get one from that period if it's turbo (like you said, the GT-X did continue into the 2nd series).

i am definately going to buy a R33 4 door skyline at the end of this year at the very latest and with this thread being on the topic of 4 doors i was wondering -

a)if anyone knows of any Australian websites of R33 4 door skylines that have been modified as i cant seem to find any

b)also if there are any good sites regarding information on bodykits and stuff for them

c)if anyone can point me to any relevant threads about modifying or general info about 4 door skylines on this forum (i have tried to search several times but cant find much stuff )

d)would we be able to start up a 4 door section on the forums

any help very much appreciated

thanks :P

I don't wanna throw a spanner in the works here, but this is what I've got:

2.5 25GT 98/05~01/05 FR MT/AT

2.5 25GT-V 99/08~01/05 FR MT/AT

2.5 25GT-X 98/05~01/05 FR AT only

2.5 25GT FOUR 98/05~00/07 4WD MT/AT

2.5 25GT Turbo 98/05~01/05 FR MT/AT

2.5 25GT-X FOUR 98/05~01/05 4WD AT only

2.5 25GT-X Turbo 98/05~00/07 FR MT/AT

Are you using Car Sensor Troy?

and from the source I use:

1998

2.0 GT Sedan 5MT

2.0 GT Sedan AT

2.0 GT Coupe 5MT

2.0 GT Coupe AT

2.5 25GT Sedan AT

2.5 25GT Coupe 5MT

2.5 25GT-X Sedan AT

2.5 25GT Coupe AT

2.5 25GT FOUR Sedan 5MT

2.5 25GT FOUR Sedan AT

2.5 25GT FOUR Coupe 5MT

2.5 25GT ターボ Sedan 5MT

2.5 25GT ターボ Coupe 5MT

2.5 25GT-X FOUR Sedan AT

2.5 25GT FOUR Coupe AT

2.5 25GT ターボ Sedan AT

2.5 25GT ターボ Coupe AT

2.5 25GT-X ターボ Sedan MT

2.5 25GT-X ターボ Sedan AT

:D

No major spanners thrown in there :D Both of your sources seem to line up pretty well with what I know except for the dates on yours Rezz. Maybe Nissan didn't want to put up a 3rd series on their history website (history.nissan.co.jp) so just simplified it into 2, because the dates you give do line up with other sites on the web. Nissan claim the GT-V starts in 2000.8 when the rest of the series 2 started, but it clealy doesn't from the other sites. This would explain why that top link I put up noticed there was a 3rd series (or another half series like in the R33s). So maybe there really was a model change at 1999.8?

This is all good info for me. I've learnt so much about the R34 4 doors over the last month just reading Japanese sites in Babelfish and talking to you Japanese experts here on the forums :D

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
