Welcome. Both GTR and GTT are R34... Its kinda like any other manufacturers, you've got the BMW 3 series but the 3 series' broken down into a few other variants (e.g. 318 and 335).

Even though to the untrained eyes the GTT and GTR might look the same but they're not. Both internally and externally. It'll take you a little while to be able to tell the difference between all GTRs and GTT/GTST.

I hope you're not ripped off thinking its a GTR.

I bought this car because it was a skyline ;p Nothing more nothing less, the reason I said a "GTR" because it had the emblem ... I don't have much info about them, as I said "newb".

Thanks for clearing that up... So what would a non turbo be called? GT r34? Because mine certainly doesn't have a turbo and the guy definatley said it was an r34.

Lol srsly, that makes sense since I couldn't find an r34 that looked like mine ;p

The guy must have typed it wrong then, r34. So would $5k be a rip off price for it? It had an odo reading of approx 155k when I bought it.

Welcome.

Not a bad looking 33.

Things you should looking at doing to your skyline ASAP

  • Replace all fluids (engine oil, coolant, gearbox oil, diff oil etc)
  • Replace oil filter, fuel filter and air filter
  • replace spark plugs
  • Check for indications of 100000km service (i.e. timing belt has been replaced)

Replacment fluid types etc can be found in the general mainatence section or use the seach function and see where it takes you.

Thanks :)

Yup already did some of that. I don't trust previous owners unless a logbook is shown. Which this car didn't have. Did the full fluid replacement and replaced timing belt. But still need to do the filter replacements and spark plugs.

Will fix those sometime this week :)

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
