If you do a google image search for R34 shifter, out of all the crap that are not pictures of R34 shifters, you will see 1 or 2 that look like the above photo.

And yes, R34s were tiptronic style, but that doesn't exclude the possibility that there were lesser engined cars with lesser trannys I suppose. Notwithstanding that, there is nothing to stop that shifter (in the photo above) being a tiptronic lever. It's been many years since I last looked at/put my hand on one but I vaguely recall it looking like that. Might be coloured by the google search I did though.

Google image is next to useless for this. Carsales FTW here, if one searches for r34 auto one finds many interior pics, with the shifter knobs not looking like that, the shaft is much thinner, in all but 2 i saw, one being the gt4 and another an n/a. Didn't seem to be consistent in those models tho

The console in your picture is almost certainly an R33, unless there was another car at the same time with an almost identical console.

Changing my search to R34 console yielded a few more useful pictures. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1500&bih=916&q=r34+console&oq=r34+console&gs_l=img.3...1266.3055.0.3375.11.9.0.2.0.1.310.1073.4j3j1j1.9.0....0...1ac.1.24.img..5.6.420.d6VCQfhTTj4

Later R34s had those grey/silver painted inserts in the shift knobs. But the earlier ones seemed to be a bit more generic mid 90s Nissan bleurch.

Yeah r34 looks similar, but not same, as that one in first post. I want same lol..

I concur with you, if that's not an r33 interior then i'll eat a hamster, hence my OP about what r33 they came on, from shaft size looks like it should it should just slide right on...to my shaft...

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
