The reason for posting is before i buy a skyline i just wanted to know what exactly i should look out for, so could someone plz tell me the difference between the series one and two? i think its like s14's a bit in that the front lights are different, and am i right in assuming the rear spoiler is not the same, i.e the higher one come on the series two, and the shorter on the series 1?

what else is different? what are the more desired options? which spoiler looks better, which front looks better?

Ive just bought series 2 R33 and Id have to say that its a much more appealing package.

The trim inside the car is better, the headlights are much better, they are newish design. The steering wheel is nicer.

Two air bags, series 1 has one.

Also its safe to say that more series 1s have been boosted and thrashed compared to series 2.

In the end II will cost a few grand more than 1... I much prefered the look and feel of II so i got one.

i suggest you dont get an r33 your better off getting a r32 or r34

or if you got the money get a gt-r r32 or r34 r33s are pritty shit.

but i guess its up to you man thats just my opinion.

good luck with buying your new car.

LOL :thumbsup:, I'm sure that's helped Pauly_Bro heaps. !

As for the differences between a series 1 and 2 here are all I can remember:

Air bags, series 1 had driver and passenger as optional extra, series 2 had drivers as standard and passenger as option.

Interior, series 1 has rubber paint on dash which scratches easily, series 2 has hard plastic dash. Nicer seats as well. Slight change in the dashboard warning lights as well, look better on the series 2 IMO.

Body kit, series 1 standard bumber looks a bit tame, there was an option of the body kit which looks good on the series 1. Series 2 has much more aggressive looking bumber with round fog lights and indicators. Headlights are also different on series 2. Spoiler is bigger on the series 2.

Engine, basicly the same, but slight change in the ignition system, with the series 2 having ignition power transistors built into the coils. Turbo on series 1 is alloy compressor with ceramic turbine. Series 2 turbo is plastic compressor and ceramic turbine.

I'm sure there's more differences than that, but those are the main ones.

As for which is best, try out both yourself, it will be your car so only you can really choose.

Mate, is there any stats or proof to your "R33s are crap" post? I mean i personally think all R32s are crap, cept R32 GTR... but thats my opinion and I keep it to myself...

The reason why I think R32s are crap is cos they are no bigger than sn s13 silvia... and most of them have seen better days... but then again Im 6'4 and like my cars newish.

Comments?

driftmunkee = your an ignorant tool. Get a f**kin VN why dont ya?

Back to the question.

A series II R33 is a better proposition to the series Is in some instances as the trim, body , engine and driveline are in better condition. R33s are said to be a common car (because people notice them) but they are a really well sorted out car, reliable and a good all rounder.

An R34 is a also a great car, but you will be paying considerably more not only for costs, but insurance,maintenance etc and the fact that in the next few years they are probably going to be as common as R33s.

BTW I have a Nice Modded Series II for sale!! Check it out -

Funny that you say that (how common R33s are)

I think I start to see more s15s than R33s. :(

      R34 power steering

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      R34 power steering

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
