I asked for a Midnight Purple Skyline from an importer in Qld they went looking and found this in Japan . I also asked for something rare and they hit the jackpot for me anyway 

I was pretty happy back then still stoked to this day

Damn that looks super clean! 

Damn that looks super clean! 

Was a fresh import earlier this year. Only 96,000kms and 100% stock original.
Went like a rocket but we had a little front prang earlier this year so it's being fixed.
Definitely fun to drive even as a stocky. Good solid engines.
I've got a silver 1997 SII 40th also but I have to part that to fix my other one unfortunately.
Your car looks super clean too!

I believe that the gtr wing was optional at purchase as I didn't buy brand new, choice wasn't mine .

It has the 40 th badges on the outside , seats with 40th badges , powered fold in mirrors , sunroof , hicas , passenger air bag and drivers air bag , mine is a GTS-T not a Gtr I'm not fluent on the GTR registry .

brake light is in the rear wing also , seatbelt retractor , climate control , rear strut in boot not sure on that

Just checked mine on GTR Registry and found below:

ECR33-133971

GTS25t Type M 40th Anniv (Series 2.5)    1997-11

2 Door Coupe; RB25DET; 2WD HICAS; 4 Speed Automatic; (14A) Super Fine Hard Coat; (15A) Rear Wiper; (16Z) Trunk Lid Trim + Sports Shift Knob (Automatic) + Type M 40th Anniversary; (17C) Remote Entry; (18M) Viscous LSD + ABS + 40th Anniversary, 2 door

Def have rear boot strut bar, 40th Anniversary interiors, original Japanese radio/cassette player.

The second 40th Anniversary KR4 Sonic Silver model I have up for sale has same specs as above but build date 1997-12.

ECR33-134288

    • The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan. 
    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
