40th Anniversary Gts-t

[MP_R33]

hi all.

Just having a look at a few 40th anniversary GTS-T's obviously 1998 models.

All of them have the updated trim, rear strut bar and some other 40th anniversary edition features.

Although i have noticed some of them do not have the badging on the pillar stating its the limited edition model.

Just wandering if anyone knows why this is?

I believe its not debadging

Thanks

If they're 40th anniv, they'll have the badges, unless they've been removed by 1 of the owners....

I have some new 40th ann badges if you need them.. bought them from Nissan Japan for my old 40th ann.

Ah i see reason i ask is because i have a 1/1998 GTS-T with the 40th anniversary trim, GTR wing, strut bar and the nismo optioned front bar in the 98 midnight purple. Although i dont have the badging on the exterior. I dont understand why someone would remove it awell i guess.

neither do i! have a nov 97 with strut bar and 40th anniversary seats but no badges on outside! I also have rear pods which i think are different to a normal series2

oh no thanks i actually prefer it with no badges, looks smoother but im taking it your 40th anniversary edition didnt have badging either?

Maybe? hopefully not. wish i got the rear spoiler, looks hot! does yours have rear pods?

[MP_R33]

nope no pods, mine has different to normal Series 2s the following

-rear strut brace

-optioned GT-R spoiler

-optioned Nismo front bar

-40th anniversary seats

-midnight purple colour which only came on the 40th anniversary models

-it was also built in january 98 which qualifies it to be a 40th anniversary

Thats it as far as i know

the badging is just wierd :S...

[woolls]

I have a 3/98 40th anniversary, its got the badges on the pillars, badges on the seats, GTR wing, strut bar, momo wheel and the nismo optioned front bar.

I reckon someone has just removed the badges.

[dezz]

I really don't see the point to this thread....You even said you prefer it without the badges...clearly a previous owner agrees with you and removed them.....

end of story...

[MP_R33]

just wanted to know still haha reason i asked is because i got my Vin number fasted and it shows that the month/year is 03/98 although on my pink sticker it states 01/98 so :S

yeh i too have had badges removed

my car has had all the 40th anniversary features replaced except for the rear strut brace. guy in japan did it all

the car has been debadged, the rear gtr spoiler was replaced with a d wing and a GT spoiler, the front bar has been replaced by a real 400r front bar which i still have yet to see where to buy a replacement in case this one gets smashed. the 400r front bars you buy online from uas or carmate look very different to mine. mine looks like a modified GTR front bar. and my front seats have been replaced by Recaros. its factory black but yeh definetely a 40th anniversary

I've got '98 40th anniversary myself (I think there's 5 or 6 factory Midnight Purple 40th anniversary in oz).

Mine is in Midnight Purple, 4/98 build, I've got rear strut brace, mine is also debadged I reckon I prefer debadged myself.

I don't know which bar came from factory (have been replaced with 400r replica thing and will get original S2 Bumper painted soon).

I know the interior does have 40th anniversary badges, but mine didn't come with standard interior (got S3 GTR Interior).

Cheers

nice. 4/98 is the newest i have seen

I have seen quite alot more then 5 or 6 midnight purple ones in Oz though i rekon there would be more in the double figure range maybe 30-40.

[Count Grantleyish]

Pretty sure 4/98 is the latest of the r33's (r34 started production from 5/98, feel free to correct me).

I wouldn't say there's 30-40 MP GTST in oz but around 10-15 is do-able (around 5 or 6 is what known to me).

Sorry for off-topic btw.

Not a problem mate.

Im not sure your probably right 4/98 is the newest i have ever heard though.

Well i have definatley seen at least 10 genuine MP 40th anniversaryies, been quite a few for sale lately on car sales lately. I am assuming there might be another 20 though that we just havent heard of but i dont think i will ever know.

Feels good but having such a rare car though doesnt it

[Count Grantleyish]

Yeah it feel kinda cool to be driving around in rare and sexy coloured R33!

About these numbers, we won't know until there's others start putting up their hands saying 'I've got one too!'

Cheers
