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.

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?

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?

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. :(

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

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.

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.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
