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.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      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 .
