R34 Skyline 25 Gt-v

[GTR Power]

i read a bit about the R34 Skyline 25 GT-V, how much do these go for, and are they hard to get your hands on ??

[illusiVe]

errrr... what from a dealer? or personal import... i'd recommend u search before u = flamed.

[GTR Power]

either dealer or personal... are they available in australia? just a estamate on price

[GTR Power]

from what i know the gt-v has a 2 door coupe model, everything turbo, besides the actual turbo, ie breaks etc.. its available in the gtr blue color.. um.. few more upgrades i guess not to sure though..

[Reggi34dr]

the GT-V was first released in '99. yes, you are right in saying that it is basically a turbo spec car just with the NA RB25DE. the bayside blue was only available in the S2 release of the R34's and manual transmissions are only marginally more available in coupe from than sedan.

it's not a luxury sedan/coupe version.

mine cost me $18490 on road (complied/registered) and took just under 6 months to find - a grade 4, 70885K's, manual GT-V sedan.

do a search for GT-V and you should find a couple of other threads from earlier this year.

hey mate, did you purchase the GT-V in nsw? do u think there are many benifits over the standard 25GT? and do you have any pics?.. when i tryed searching "GT-V" it came up with no results??

No, I had mine imported early this year. the benefits are aplenty of a base 25GT, turbo gear for one i.e. brakes, suspension, interior, front strut brace and the turbo cars 17" alloys. the 2nd benefit would be fuel economy. how many turbo cars get 630K's to a tank?

[GTR Power]

k, would i be right in saying a future turbo conversion to a gt-v would be very easy?

would be no different to doing a turbo conversion to any other R34

just that all the supporting systems are there - most importantly brakes, ready to take the increased power.

correct me if i'm wrong but isnt the suspension setup from the R34 GT25 the same as R34 GTT, same interior (minus boost gauge).

so all that you have extra is really the colour of the car and the brakes?

You also get the HICAS and LSD from the GT-T in addition to the 4 pot brakes, 17 inch rims etc

Depending on the car alot of turbo's can get 630ks to a tank.... but thats just me being a smart arse

My R34 GT-T Sedan - pretty much 90% h'wy driving manages to get 500k then the flue light comes on but there is always 15litres left in the tank so add another 100ks as it runs at 10 litres per hundred k's.

I come close to your 630k mark.

Hicas and LSD seem to be available on most if not all skylines regardless of turbo or not. (actually the skylines seem like a fairly customisable car when in production, with alot of these being factory options)

just apart from brakes and rims, (and the obvious engine and gearing) i cant see any marked differences. not playing the GT-V down, just want to know what makes a GT-V a GT-V.

[GTR Power]

i agree with eug, wat does make a gt-v a gt-v, besides wats discussed.. wat was the point of this car? future turbo upgrades? or just a better hadling 25gt?

[illusiVe]

i loved my 25GT when i had it went hard. I'd just honestly buy a 25gt.. its cheaper and easier to find + buy.

[NS2500]

They're far more rare than standard 25GTs and generally command a small premium when buying them at auction. I was after one originally but I ended up settling for the 25GT as I didn't think it was worth it (additional price, extra searching)

To my knowledge the only differences are mechanical - brakes, LSD, HICAS and the 17" rims from factory (instead of options)

The standard 25GT has a strut brace, and as far as I know, the same suspension. The only difference in interior between the 3 are the turbos have guages sitting in the middle of the dash - everything else is identical.
