hey ppl, i recently sold my car and i want to buy a skyline but i am stuck between 2 choices.

1 is the 98 r33 gtst 40th anniversary for 30 geez, thats stock or i can have the same car for 35 grand with mods such as HKS suspension (thats height and damper adjustable), HKS exhaust, HKS bov, hybrid front mount, air filter, and a system. the colour is that purple one.

or

an r34 gtt for say around 35 or so, i'm pretty sure that'll be stock. so basically there's 3 choices.

1, 40th anniversary r33 with mods for $35,000

2, 40th anniversary r33 stock for $30,000

3, R34 GTT stock for say around $35,000.

if u guys could gimme ur opinions and say the value of what u think i should be paying and what u'd do and so forth, it would be great.

the 40th anniversary is a 98 model though and the purple colour, it is hot man. u get the 40th anniversary badges, different style headlights, interior is a bit different, like the seats and that. the thing is i love it man but i still have that 30 grand fear over me. like is it worth it? thats the thing, i dont know how much they go for.

I guess 98 model and perhaps being 40th anniversary with those special extra features might be worth a bit more..... i guess $30,000 kinda sounds ok i guess?????

Any pics.....

I'd say the $30g would be because of the rarity of this and also how new it is......

how many k's...?

You wouldn't catch me buying an r33 gts-t for $30k or more unless it has 300+ rwkw. So the 40th is blue with some extra badges, that doesnt make it worth an extra $10k imho but each to their own.

The other thing is you could buy my car for $30k and i'll give you $7k change :D:)

Go the R34 GT-t, these cars are bloody awesome, and from the factory they are ment to boast 206kw (I've heared this is wrong though), and you dont see many R34's around, but you doo see alot of R33's so i guess if you want to be different and stand out abit in the Skyline crowd buy the R34 GT-t. I say R34. :D Goodluck with your decision.

hey Morgs, his car is alright now, been through hell and back though coz we almost snapped the conrod by putting bigger injectors without upgrading the ecu, the car just sh*t itself, flooded hard. but now its alright, he's got the t28 ball bearing on it with a power fc on the way from japan. we still gotta meet up one day man, would be good to have a chat.

ok i've decided for the R34, now the question is how much is the price range i am looking at??? oh thanks for ur opinions guys, keep em coming.

Apart from the badges on the sides and rear i cant see any difference between a 40th anniversary and a normal gts25t.

1997 40th anniversary

1997 40th anniversary

You might be able to find one $8,000 - $9,000 cheaper if you import it.

And the purple you mentioned is the same as the R33 GTR Midnight Purple.

haha i wouldn't pay more than 15k for an R33!

buying an R34 is not just buying a newer car, you are also paying for a much better shape and interior design. if looks are anything then the R33 shouldn't even be considered against the R34 in my opinion...

also, can you get teh R34GT-T in bayside blue or was that limited to the GTRs? that would look sweet.........

best of luck with the buy!

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
