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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
