Nissan R34 Gt-t Query !, Engine Problem

[Heineken]

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

I'd say thats defiantly the rb25 out of a r33...

[chef_stagea]

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

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.

hey mate i own an r34 gtt and that is definetly an rb25 from an r33 model

[JDM032]

ur gettin ripped hard if u buy that.

i'd ring him and tell him u cant buy it coz u found a genuine R34 turbo for the same price. lol

[sskylinee]

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?

[Heineken]

much appreaciate the help

heres the rest of the pictures if they help

[Heineken]

Can I also get some suggestions on a borderline price for this or any other info ?

cheers dudes

[snoozer]

could have a non turbo box too!?!

[sskylinee]

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

[Heineken]

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.

[sskylinee]

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

[Nightcrawler]

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 dont c y u would consider!!!

[Madaz]

30g? You mean 20g?

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
