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 :)

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.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
