Hi everyone.

A colleague at work has put a deposite down for a 1998 R33 GTS-T.

I was wondering if they exist, or has be had a dodge pulled on him.

I heard that the last run of 33's was in 1998 but they are hard to find.

Can anyone confirm or disprove this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes.. they do exist.. I have one + i think there is a couple of other floating around..

made in 05/98

Most are 40th anniversary, in fact haven't seen one that wasn't.. I would def check in Nissan FAST - this will tell you exactly when it was made (what batch)..

They have a black CAS

That's about the only way to visually identify them..

True, they exist.

I have one too :P

As already said 1998 is the 40th anniversary.

Should be extra sewn on badges on the front seats

And matching emblims on the C-pillar

Other than that, same as a 96-97 Series II

My avatar shows the outside badge

feel like buying some cams off me? :P

I have one aswell. I was curious to why the 40th Anniversary skyline version cost a fair bit if you were to buy one?

Any differences?

Visual differences, they had an optional rear spolier (GTR type) and an optional front bar (again GTR look-a-like) as well as badges.

They also came in limited colours like Midnight Purple Pearl II

    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
