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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
