Hey forum members just a quick engine question about an r33 gtst. How do you tell what type engine is in the car, series 1 or series 2? I have a 95 r33 gtst pretty sure its a 1.5 and I ordered some new coil packs for it they are on the way, now I am somwhat confused after reading some write ups on engine type as to wether I have a series 1 or 2 engine cus in one of the write ups it stated the some 1.5 came with the series 2 engine and as they use different coil packs I want to make sure I bought the right one? How do you tell the difference between a series 1 and 2 engine? All help is appreciated thanks.

With respect to ordering coils check to see if there is a power transister module (flat square black unit) mounted on top and at the back of the valley cover. The series 1.5 and 2 have the switching transistors built into the coilpack and hence have no power transister module on the valley cover. I have attached a photo which shows a black plug at the back of the engine above the last coilpack which is typical of a series 1.5 or 2. Ignore the reference to the O2 plug as this was the intention of the photo taken sometime ago.

Hope this helps

Ok checked it and confirmed that it has the black plug which will make it a 1.5. So when ordering coil packs for a 1.5 do I get the coil packs for a series 1 or 2 engine?
