ba bow!!! Only non-turbos were ever made in Bayside Blue, hence why they are missing the 3 gauges (all non-turbos are missing those gauges). The only way a Turbo R34 can be Bayside Blue is if the car has been repainted, or a turbo conversion has been done on it - in which case the car will not pass adrs and cannot be complied in Aus (as far as I'm aware). Do some searches on Bayside Blue R34s and you will find they did not make them in a Turbo variant (other than GTRs obviously), and I think are known as an R34GTV (as opposed to GTT).

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but in my travels this is what I have learnt.

Would you care to post the auction sheet of your R34 Blue_J? - I am interested to see!

Oh damn! I thought the car was turbo.

No seriouslly I won't be rude, but you are totally incorrect.

Yes they made Bayside Blue GTTs, anyone who has told you

otherwise don't know jack. BTW car dealers generally know nothing

about cars, so there is a start.

Additionally I have sat in a Blue GTT at a yard and yes I'm not colour blind :)

And lastly but not leastly to prove my point; here is my results from Nissan Fast for my car;

Note: 1-Colour Code, 2- Engine RE25det

That's why I put the 'feel free to correct me if I'm wrong' disclaimer at the bottom :)

I am still confused as to why the 3 gauges are missing though .... even with the TV they would have easily fitted. Nice colour choice btw :)

Hey, can you do a FAST search like that on my car for me? VIN ER34015023

Check these sites out for your answers:

Are the prices at these auctions US dollars? Still are bloddy cheap. Have a look at the link for a R33 GTR with a grade 4 result. I wish they were that cheap.

In case anyone was wondering about S1 GTT's they were also available in the stunning Bayside Blue... the one I looked at in yard was a S1 and they wanted $44k for the thing. damn expensive!!

The colour is so rare; hence all confusion and mystery.

Mine's a S1 99 model and has the sunroof :D Have yet to see another 34 with one...although I'm sure they exist but very rare!

There was one at the dealership when I picked mine up; sunroof looked genuine to me.

Anyways; 1998 S1 R34 GTT, 100% stock, Grade 4.5 from Japan, Semi Auto, 38K kms for $28K flat... but I must say that there was a personal connection involved.

so r34 gTT s1 and s2 came in bayside blue but is very rare?

hmm interesting i wouldnt mind seeing one...

did everyone import there 34? or did dey buy from yard? im just too scared to pay for money for a car i havent seen...

also i got told by a dealer that sunroof was never an option that tehre all aftermarket, its a load of BS i reckon...

very bullshit, my one had a sunroof...and it's fully detailed in my workshop manual

Don't know if you can just make it out in this picture...back when the car was N/A

The other pic is before and after bolt-on turbo (note intercooler) :)

Read up on the auction processes over in Japan... all cars are pretty much scrutinized 3 times over - once by the dealer, then by the auctioneers, then by a technician.

If you are importing your 34 through a dealer though, make sure you have it written into the contract that you will only commit after seeing the car in true form.

Most will be OK with that because they are cars that they would import regardless of your purchase. Just lock your interest in with a small deposit and you should be fine.

PS: The sunroof is a standard feature - even the Glass has Nissan etched onto it.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
