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 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

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
