Alsd were a option and expensive too. Type M are turbo, NA's could be optioned with this and like all options it was up to the original buyer what your car has. Options that I know of from factory (Nismo had others as well) Sunroof ABS Alsd Front lip (S2) Rear Pods Side skirts Cruise control Fog lights (S1) Front bar (S1) dont know if S2 had front bar option aside from nismo Steering wheel (S1) Air Bags (S1) Others?????

I'm with Cubes, just dont spray directly into connectors.

This is the Commander AP500 fitted to mine, good unit, I have never had a problem with it.

I thought my engine bay was clean until I changed the turbo, even the clean stuff down there was grotty lol.

Nobody can identify the turbo, GoFastBits said it was probably a HKS prototype, it is a BB and has american threads in it, Dan reckoned it be equivalent to a high flow and Peter Woodward my tuner said it looked like one off a Rotar. Beats me, it goes good and the BB spool is goooood.

Now that you have read through this whole thread, I went through it and selected all the things I could use for my own reference and thought youz would like it too. I am not sure that there are any others but if know of any others post em up! Q; What is the difference between a series 1 and series 2 R33 Gtst? A; There are several differences... The front end of the series 2 is sharper, slimmer headlights, different front bar (indicators and fog lights are round and located at the bottom of the bar). The bonnet has much sharper ridges. The "skyline" panel at the rear of the car is body coloured on the series 2. The interior of the series 2 has been updated including different trim, a passenger airbag and the dash facia has been updated. Mechanical differences include an updated ECU and a ceramic turbo. The series 1 was in production from late '93 through to late '95. The series 2 ran from early '96 through to early/mid '98. More trivial things include nissan badge that covers the keyhole in series 2 versus series 1 mild change in rear spoiler design. both series 1 and 2 both had ceramic-turbined turbos though the camshafts between the two are not interchangeable Also the S1 has an ignitor located on top of the motor at the back on the rocker cover near the firewall, whereas the S2 has the ignitor built into the ECU. Also the Series 2 has a nicer steering wheel Also, difference in front badging. S2 chrome and on the bonnet. S1 red and on grille. And the one that everyone always seems to miss... the front shocks/springs are different. Rears are still the same thou. ****NOBODY CONFIRMED THIS********* here is something else for you, in 1995 there was a series II also, it had the series I front, but had the series II engine, dual airbags, colour coded rear skyline badge, updated interior, different seat trim to 93-94, not the same as 96, series II instrument panel, series II floor mats. everyone mixes answers to which turbo is which up this is the difference. the series one AND two exhaust wheels are ceramic, and prone to delaminating from the shaft, due to excess heat and resistance, resulting in bits of tubo stuck in your cat The difference is in the intake side. The intake wheel of a series one turbo is steel, where in a series two (and even r34 gtt) has a nylon wheel. this results in a quicker spool up. the problem is not with the intake side of the turbo, its the exhaust, so if you had to compare the two, the series 1 turbo is no less likely to fail than a series 2 turbo. Ive just about finished putting a motor out of a series 1.5 into my series 1. dunno if anyone cares, but the clips for the coil packs are a bit different, so i had to swap them and the harness from my blown series one motor and put them in the series two, but again, dont know if anyone cares about something so trivial... I found a new one!! My series 2 had a little mis-fortune and needed a new Throttle position sensor. These are very different between the series 1 and 2 with the 2 having a pair of wiring loom entries and the series 1 only having a single wiring harness. It pays to check before ordering from Japan!! I have a 93 series 1 that has dual airbags and front driving lights work (as stock) it's also got nice active lsd. (the slip and lsd lights are on the tacho). I'm new so i thought i post my 2 cents *****The original owner optioned this car well.****** As for the front rectangular indicator/foglight, there are 2 different types in the Series 1. Some have nothing in there and it is simply a white lense, whereas others have a foglamp there. Mechanically Series 2 started at the beginning of 1995, though many will claim it was 1996. This is true if you judge a vehicle by cosmetics. 1995 saw the introduction of the updated ECU and ignition system. I’m not sure about an updated turbo though the turbo difference is the nylon compressor wheel for quicker spool up in the series 2 the headlights on a s1 are headlights inside a plastic cover where the s2 are a bulb and lens behind cover. Would the s2 lights fit in the s1 coz i have noticed the s2 lights are alot better. You would need a S2 bonnet Sunroofs were an option I tried a series 1 aerial on my series 2 and it's different, the aerial plug is different, the S1 tube is fatter, thusly the screw on crome bit too and the angle of the grommets is heaps less. I mangled the S2 for the arial plug and fitted it, but the angle grommets FMU and it didnt two stage anymore. (notice that the plug surround on the S2 is yellow) With the slimmer tube they made the black outer grommet go through the panel to eliminate earthing / potential rust spot? But simply, the Series 1 v Series 2 differences are in this thread, a series 1.5 looks like series 1 but has the series 2 motor (ie no ignitor pack) From what I can gather ofF here the series 1 changed around late 95 to the 1.5 and changed again Jan/Feb to series II. The compliance plate under bonnet will tell you mine says Clicky 02/96 confirmed by FAST. if its a 1995 then its a series 1 or series 1.5. no series 2 in 1995 the a-lsd diff has a finned cover around the diff housing. same as gtr v-spec diff. get the vin number and fast will tell you what model it is. it could have just had a front bar swapped for the series 2 front bar. the series 1 and series 2 engines are different and u can visually tell by looking at the throttle body Also - don't forget that there is the 40th Anniversary SII.. such as mine .. it's got the GT-R adjustable rear wing.. and also mine has a nismo front bar.. which gets rid of the foglights and just has the blinkers.. apart from that - it's also got hicas and sunroof as options.. + 2 x 40th anv stictching in seats.. that's about it. really.. the 93-94 R33 dont have airbags as far as i know. "1.5" or 95 models have drivers side...it might be an option, but most ive seen have it. Are the stock front bar's of an S1 and S2 interchangeable? i have heard that the bonnets/front lights will have to be replaced if you want to swap the front bar. they dont NEED to be replaced but the lights stick out and the bonnet doesnt line up properly...so to do it right you need to change all of it series 1 and series 2 r33 gearboxes have different clutch setup but are the same. series 2 has seatbelt holders that come off the a pillar to keep the seatbelt at easy reach. series 2 console has each warninig light in its own bevelled bubble where series 1 is completely flat and just has lights for each warning item I bought a 40th anniversary and besides the badges it just came with a heap of extras like factory keyless entry with alarm, factory Skyline floor mats, front lip and the car is midnight purple. oh and has the light up skyline garnish thats under the boot lid r32 gtst is known as series 1 or 2 r33 gtst is known as series 1 or 2 r34 gtt is known as series 1 or 2 r32 gtr unsure r33 gtr known as series 1, 2 or 3 r34 gtr unsure the 40th anniversary S2 R33 has a different crank angle sensor to normal S2 R33's....The same Hitachi unit as used by the R34. I wonder if any other engine components are shared? It's "Type M" not M-Spec (M-Spec was a modeal variant for the R34 GTR) - Series 1.5 is not an official model designation, however it's pretty much accepted that between 1995 and 1996 there were GTS25ts that had some attributes from both - Only the GTR had a Series III.

Any photo's of the damage?

With this wet weather lately I am finding the grip a bit loose with that extra power, the tyres were OK before, but now, a tap of the pedal gets me spinning too easily .

I recently upgraded the lot from a bitza set up that started with a split dump on the standard turbo, then a front pipe added on later, it was good for 212kw but limited due to the 2 1/2" dump and the turbo at it's limit, mind you after 18 mths @ 16 psi it was still good, then at some stage I noticed it wouldnt boost above 15psi, Dan (3lit3 32) reckoned it was the studs snapped on the manifold, he was right but not quite as I had cracked the manifold as well. So I got a turbo with dump and a second manifold and installed the lot myself, and after a delay due to dyno comps, I had noticed that the cat was only 2 1/2" and with the bigger dump, the exhaust note quite louder as well, Right Price installed a 3" cat and resonator for 400 and I was off for a retune last night, it made 312rwhp/232kw @ 14psi easily, the turbo is a bit laggier but seems to be more gruntier down low, if that makes sense, the exhaust note is alot gruntier as well but the resonator took the harsh bark out of it. my next step will be the injectors, 500cc should do me. A few more pics of the whole works are HERE
