Hey, name's Essa (Zeus) ... Just recently bought a, used, gtr r34... first car bought using my own money

was searching trying to find upgrades and some tutorials and came across this site. love the site, use it to read up on stuff while bored in lectures (attending Flinders, Adelaide) =P

Keep it up guys

Hey welcome to SAU mate.

How old are you?

Are you sure your car is a GTR? GTRs are twin turbo, not n/a like the post title!

[3esa]

hmm, I'm a newb.

since gtr's are twin turbos then mine would be a none twin turbo r34 lol i dont know the guy's ad said it was an r34 no wonder it was cheap.

anyway, I still have a lot to learn from this forum and about skylines...

I'm 25, thanks for the warm welcome

Welcome. Both GTR and GTT are R34... Its kinda like any other manufacturers, you've got the BMW 3 series but the 3 series' broken down into a few other variants (e.g. 318 and 335).

Even though to the untrained eyes the GTT and GTR might look the same but they're not. Both internally and externally. It'll take you a little while to be able to tell the difference between all GTRs and GTT/GTST.

I hope you're not ripped off thinking its a GTR.

I bought this car because it was a skyline ;p Nothing more nothing less, the reason I said a "GTR" because it had the emblem ... I don't have much info about them, as I said "newb".

Thanks for clearing that up... So what would a non turbo be called? GT r34? Because mine certainly doesn't have a turbo and the guy definatley said it was an r34.

Welcome to the forums.

Post up some pics of your car!

Thats an R33 series 2 dude

[3esa]

Lol srsly, that makes sense since I couldn't find an r34 that looked like mine ;p

The guy must have typed it wrong then, r34. So would $5k be a rip off price for it? It had an odo reading of approx 155k when I bought it.

Series 1 based on Skyline emblem at the back, looks like Series 1 headlights too..

Welcome to SAU though.. Id say 5k isn't too bad for that..

Welcome.

Take the GTR badge off and its a series 1

yup i guess the gtr badge has no place on this.

I got my savings to fix this car up. first off new rims. then think of stuff for under the hood.

Thank you all for your help in identifying my vehicle!!

Welcome.

Not a bad looking 33.

Things you should looking at doing to your skyline ASAP

• Replace all fluids (engine oil, coolant, gearbox oil, diff oil etc)
• Replace oil filter, fuel filter and air filter
• replace spark plugs
• Check for indications of 100000km service (i.e. timing belt has been replaced)

Replacment fluid types etc can be found in the general mainatence section or use the seach function and see where it takes you.

[3esa]

Thanks

Yup already did some of that. I don't trust previous owners unless a logbook is shown. Which this car didn't have. Did the full fluid replacement and replaced timing belt. But still need to do the filter replacements and spark plugs.

Will fix those sometime this week

$5k is an awesome price and yea like what everyone said its a R33 not 34.
