Hi I'm new here so hello first of all. I know next to nothing about this so any help is appreciated.

A couple years back my boyfriend bought what he thought was a 1998 Gtst import for $14k from a private sale. We initially thought it was just a regular gtst since it was only 14k so imagine our shock when we went to renew registration for it and they (rta) tell us it was a limited edition 1999 gtt, only 200 made in the world, only 4 in Australia including ours and the other 3 cars were in the system as write offs. From then until now I am still a little skeptical because I can't seem to find any info regarding this particular car anywhere. I will admit I've never seen a faster gtt than this. The only mod we made was the sports exhaust and yet a fully modified ferrari could manage to only beat it by a quarter car length. No joke. The dude who owned the ferrari thought we was full of bs until he popped the bonnet and saw for himself the engine was stock standard.

I always ask myself if this is really a limited edition car, why would the previous owner sell it so cheap to us? Wouldn't it be worth more than that? Did he even know? A quick glance and you'd think it is a 1998 gtst (previous owner put gtr tags on it though) but compliance plates and a detailed inspection say otherwise. Anyway, info about this car would be much appreciated.

Was looking to sell the car but reluctant now because of all this info. HELP!

LOLZ

how about posting some more information on the car would be handy but just so you know there is no such thing as a "limited" R34 GTT

clearly there is only one thing limited here...... :domokun:

Thanks for replies. Will post pics this arvo when I get back home. As i said I know next to nothing abt these cars so apologies for sounding like an uneducated idiot regarding these cars (or any car for that matter). It's because I really am.

Yes my bf would really appreciate the username I picked for him when he sees it :)

No it doesn't have any of those badges 666Dan. What does that mean?

I would make sure to include the stamps and any info of the car, the import compliance plate from japan and australian one as well.

My whole point was to find out exactly what we had before selling it. But it's nice to know some of you are getting a laugh out of this. I suppose my skepticism of this whole thing is somewhat justified according to the responses to my post.

Any feedback is much appreciated so thanks everyone.

loving the "my boyfriend" approach. thats not been used before to ask retarded questions that can be looked up using wikipedia.

but on the 1% chance this is real. bring the pictures we will help.

as you can tell we get a lot of idiots/12 year olds asking dumb shit. the 11ty million sarcastic answers they recieve normally weeds them out.

but im telling you now. theres no farking way a gtt can beat a ferrari in standard form unless its a ferrari dino.

or an mr2 thats got a fezza bodykit on it.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
