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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
