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:

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-X Sedan AT

2.5 25GT Coupe AT

2.5 25GT FOUR Sedan 5MT

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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
