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!

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
