How do you tell a real GT-R from a fake, Besides the GT-R symbol on the dash. I'm looking at having one imported from japan I need reassurance that it's not one modified to look like a GT-R. Is there some defineing interior or exterior or engine detail I can see in photos, or what about serial number? Thanks guys.

Check engine - RB26DETT

Check numbers in engine bay IE - BNR32

Others would be the obvious, check the guards, attessa motor etc

if it has all of the above you can be 99.9999% sure its a gtr as no one would bother doing all that to a gtst

RB26DETT

check to see if the guards are flared

the interior has the GTR Dash which includes a 10K tacho and front torque gauge

the 3 gauges are in the centre console

the GTR seats

transfer case behind the gearbox

the model number BNR32 printed on the ORIGINAL build plate

that's all I can think of atm so if it doesn't have EVERYTHING on that list, question the integrity of it

btw, that's for an R32 :)

the interior has the GTR Dash which includes a 10K tacho and front torque gauge

the 3 gauges are in the centre console

The torque split guage is one of the three (3) centre console gauges (on an R32/33), not on the dash gauge (unless it's a GTS-4).

Pretty sure the tacho goes to 11k rpm too

We have a problem telling the difference?...and I thought it was only a Lancer/Evo thing :)

If you can't tell the difference between the genuine GT-R or Evo, your not a real enthusiast is what I say ;)

Seeing as hes getting it imported its most likely that he wont be able to view the car in person :P

If you are worried about getting a gtst instead of a gtr then ide be questioning the importing company/auction people

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
