Did All R34 Gt-t's Come With The Triple Gauge Cluster?

Hi all,

I recently looked at an 1998 R34 GT-T (auto). Build plate says RB25DET, it has turbo engine cover and GT-t sticker under RH taillight. Fasted VIN says RB25DET / HI.2WD / 25GTT produced 9810 so that all matches.

However, there is no triple gauge cluster on top of the centre console?! I know that non-turbo GT's came without these but did any GT-T's?

If not, why would anyone remove the cluster and replace it with the flat cover from a GT?

Cheers

I thought they did have the option for the navigation system on the R34 GT-T instead of the 3-gauge cluster.... this is the pop-up screen that sits in the same spot.

In this situation, the navi unit sits where the climate control is normally, and the climate control gets moved down into a din spot.

Is it possible the flat cover is just the pop-up screen that's not popping up (ie: broken). Should be able to tell if it has a navi unit where the climate control unit is normally...

If it's the proper moulded dash I'd be suspect.

Can you remember what colour the steering fluid reservoir was? Normally the fatal mistake people make is leaving the clear n/a one in, when it should be black on the GT-t :D

Brilliant, I think that's it! Front the top, the centre console has:

1. Air vents

2. Thing that looks like a CD player (controls in Japanese, Compact Disc Digital Audio logo in top right above a four-way controller)

3. Climate control

4. Cassette player

I didn't realise there'd be something popping up, gotta have a closer look.

The steering fluid reservoir is next to LH strut tower yeah (turbo side)? It's black, just looked at a photo of a GT engine bay and that one's clear as you said, should be all good.

Thanks guys!

the gtt came out with either the gauge cluster or the pop up screen

my guess is everyone went the gauge cluster because it was a cheaper option !

mine had a screen but i ripped it out coz it was ntsc coded so nothing would work to get it converted to pal would of costed 1000 +

Couple more questions on the same car, didn't want to start a new thread.

The car seems in decent nik but has been garaged for a long time. It drives ok but feels a bit sluggish, when you floor it revs up quick enough but feels a bit 'spongy' and it doesn't really feel like the turbo would kick in properly at all. Could this be the auto slipping or something else? I'll try to run the Auto Transmission Diagnostics when I look at the car next. The 32's I've driven recently go much harder.

There's also a leak under the engine bay with something collecting in the sump guard / undertray - it seems to be on the exhaust / turbo side. Any ideas what this could be? I'll go and have another look over the weekend but thought I'd get some ideas on what to look for exactly. I'll obviously get the car properly checked by a mechanic if I get serious about it.

Cheers!

No leak of anything is good news, discounting the one you take after 10 schooners, if it's dripping as far as he floor I'd get it checked out immediatly , oil , water , brake fluid , trans fluid aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggggggg the bils the bills. :ninja:

Had two different mechanics take a look at the car, all good.

The leak wasn't anything serious and performance is ok for a standard car, turns out I'm just not used to driving bog stock ones :)

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      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.

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
