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

[V28VX37]

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

im almost certain all GTT models came with the triple guages. it was the non turbos that came with the slide up tv or nothing at all.

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

Might help a bit ?

Just clik image to enlarge, clik again to supersize.

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.

Thanks Basho, I'll get it checked. Cheers

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
