was the pedestrian on a pedestrian crossing?

I think you know where I'm heading with that question.

Also are you dead sure thats a GTX V-Spec.

Coz you have the GT-T wheels and a front strut brace.

If you have the GT-T front brakes and suspension as well, your car is a GT-V.

I could be wrong, just overly suspicious/curious at what I can gather from your pics. <_<

well if it was a GTT, then there would be gauges above the sterio for boost oil and battery charge..

a GT-V has the turbo model brakes, suspension, strut brace and wheels but runs the N/A RB25DE not the DET, so there will be no turbo-spec 3 guage console above the stereo.

I never said it was a GT-T.

Like svd164 and shim said, check out the dash. Take a picture if you're unsure and these guys will be sure to be able to tell you what you've got :)

this a 2001 series 2 GT-V..all the turbo gear without the turbo,can`t say ive heard of a GTX-V ,thought it was 1 or the other X or V

I've already looked over the pics again on your webpage and you don't have the turbo-spec 3 guage console above the center aircon vents. I'm going out on a limb saying that it is a GT-V coz from all my research through the Nissan Japan R34 pages I have'nt seen a GT-X V-Spec. Translate these pages for a bit more info http://history.nissan.co.jp/SKYLINE/R34/0008/SPEC/soubi.html

The car yard probably just called it that coz they only ever knew of the GT-X being N/A and knew of no other model designations for N/A R34's.

:( hey man cheers for going through all these trouble in trying to help me identify my car. to be frank i never did any research on skylines when I'd brought this - I was going for a Toyota Supra. Anyway man cheers for all that.

    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it
    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
