HI PEOPLEZ

I have laid a deposit on a very nice example of a stock 1998 r33 GTST TYPE M.

( manufacturing of the r33 ceased some time in 1998 and they started making the r34)

My main concern is that it is legitimate , because it was a great find at a great price.

My question to all you skyline enthusiasts out there is,

ARE ALL GTST r33 skylines produced in 1998 , 40th anniversary editions???

Mine does not have 40th anniversary badging on the seats or on the outside and its driving me nuts not knowing, as It could be dodgy.

PLease let me know, i wanna find out b4 i buy it,

Thanks Guys

As you can see - i've included what the model codes mean - specifically the 16th one which on mine denotes 40th annv..

Yours however.. is Auto.. and doesn't have that same model code..

Interpret how you want.. Looking at this - there is a possibility that all 98's are 40th annv.. however - i'm not sure..

Your VIN does match up.. so that's a good sign..

Well - that VIN belongs to a R33 SII that rolled off the production line as a Auto..

I suggest you find out if a) a manual conversion was done or b) someone's swapped the VIN..

What colour is the car meant to be as well?? If you would like extra confirmation - call nissan tomorrow - they can run the VIN through nissan fast.. however you'll get the same as what I did here..

No worries.. wait and see what a couple of other people think - do you have some photos..

Probably nothing really to worrie about.. RTA won't check the VIN against something like nissan fast.. just interesting to know what's going on..

Don't stress out too much - from the sounds of it that's probably what's happened and should be easy to find out.. are you getting it here - or importing it over?..

BTW - KR4 (Sonic Silver) is the same colour as mine as a reference..

      I would hope so. I worry that it also might depend on whether the person working on the claim has had a good day or not. I could imagine that for example modified brakes would be an easy thing to point to for affecting the outcome of an accident. I don't know. I will keep paying my premium and hope for the best. But at the same time keep safe distances, drive defensively and avoid dickhead P-platers in lifted utes

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      I was just working on the assumption that a cammed V8 is significantly less polluty than a Japanese I6 turbo was at the way they tested it in an IM240. Perhaps I'm wrong! Perhaps cutting one of the readings I got in half is a tall order. I don't know too many people who actually got their cars emission tested with a RB to really compare the data.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).
