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!

    • My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913
    • Here it is nice and clean and for shits n giggles he's the clearly structural piece of trim it was holding down. 😬    
    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
