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...

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
