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 :)

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
