Hey Guys, my name is Michael, resident in SA, pretty new to SAU and wondering if the team can help me this..

Theres a skyline r34 GTT i am suppose to buy this week except when I look at the pictures again the engine it looks different from other R34 turbocharged engines.

He seller said the neo cover is missing fair enough but it looks like a r33 turbocharged engine.

I will show you some pictures soon, but also I asked some guys to run a nissan fast vin check and it says Skyline GT, from here I assume it was a non-turbo then dropped a 33 turbocharged?

any help would much be appreciated.

The picture with the circles around 2 components i believe to be the same as the r33.

I guess what I am trying to prove is that this car was a non turbo model to begin with and then the owner dropped a r33 turbocharged engine.

I posted the car I want to buy (has circles on components)

A r33 turbocharged

A r34 turbocharged (has neo cover)

and the vin check Dicer checked

it says in the vin check RB25DE. almost 100% sure this means race bread 2.5L double over head cam elec fuel inj... if it said rb25det then it would be a turbo... so my guess is he got him self a cheep non turbo 34.. droped a 33 rb25 in and is trying to flog it off :thumbsup:

id confirm that too, no electronic throttle actuator like the R34...its a series 2 R33 motor. Also the car, its a non turbo car....which if previously not changed it still has non turbo brakes i would imagine.

Edited by Ryanrb25

its origional r34 n/a engine with turbo parts from an r33 bolted on

check if the brakes are turbo ones and see if its got an lsd diff

some non turbo r34s have different colour interior as well

also does it have the 3 center guages?

im not 100% sure but i reckon ive seen this same car for sale on ebay sometime last year for 18k?

from the pictures it doesnt look like turbo calipers

the diff would be non lsd

doesnt have traction control

wont have hicas

the suspension would be n/a type (r33)

the dash was probably changed to fit the guages as well

id avoid it buddy

hm crap,,

this car has got a full exhaust set up, adjustable suspension, front mount and pod.

thats all i know of at the moment.

would this car not be worth getting? and what else/financially would this car need to get it up to a normal gt-t.

I have to go to sydney to check it out next week but if any opinion that its crap I will change my mind.

full exhaust set up, adjustable suspension, front mount and pod is a waste of time if u have non turbo brakes

is it even registered as a turbo/gtt?

good luck with it buddy

hope u make the right decision

btw i saw this car for sale on ebay in january 2007 i even saved the picture for reference coz it looked sus

the guy has had a hard time selling it

Why bother even thinking about a dodgied up car? I think it is an R33 engine, as the traction control throttles are missing. There are plenty of local examples for reasonable prices.

i can confirm that by looking at the pics that r34 has a r33 motor in it.....i wont buy it mate....look around and you will get one thats even better may be....go and ask around for local importers.....i know of Dave from Elite Auto Imports and from what i have heard he gets some wicked cars in.....maybe pay him a visit....last time i checked he had a R34 GTT for sale....PM if you want his details

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
