Hey all,

im looking at buying an R33 series 2 real soon. like within 3 months. ive been saving for this car for over a year now.

i was driving to work the other day and i saw what im pretty sure was a 97/98 model r33. why you ask? because the tail lights were like LEDS. not the standard globes i was used to seeing in all skylines. i know its a series 2 because of the spoiler/wing and front but ive seen 96 model r33 with the standard lights in them. do these 'LED' lights come stock in some r33's? or are they an aftermarket product? p.s. they looked terrible.

also does anyone know of any threads of the differences between series 1 and 2 r33's? thanks guys

No, LED lights are an aftermarket item. The only difference in the rear tail light zone between S1 and S2 is the boot garnish between the indicators/reverse lights which is colour coded on the S2.

p.s. they looked terrible.

also does anyone know of any threads of the differences between series 1 and 2 r33's? thanks guys

that's how you know it's aftermarket. R33s look and handle great in standard form (until the suspension wears out anyway :))

i think they look shit too, i seen them for sale on ebay and they look like super rice to me.

the stock rear lights look great i think

the only differences in series 2 are:

more agressive bonnet

body kit with foggies

color coded front grill

front lights/better reflectors/slimmer

larger spoiler not that ugly thin one that sits just over the bonnet

fabric type on the seats

indented line on either side of the roof.

........ im not sure about those last 2 things.

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
