my S1 has a big wing i think its a GTR wing i am like wtf if going on Also do all S1 have air bags cause i don't think mine does  

is there a way of Telling if i have LSD on silvia u pull back seat out and there a sticker

hey the wing is a gtr style wing

air bag was an option until 1995, in 1995 drivers airbag became standard, and series 2 skylines (very late 1995-onwards) all have dual airbags standard

all gts-ts have LSDs standard (i told u this in another thread!)

Sunroofs were an option, at least with S1. Mine was optioned :headspin:

And thinking of I don't think I have seen any S2's with them, at least not as from the factory.......................

']What about sunroofs? where they available in all of them? s1 and s2?? anyone got a series 2 with sunroof?

i cant seem to find a s2 with a sunroof... what would you choice... the upgraded s2... or the s1... with SUNROOF!! :jump:

sunroof was most definetly offered in series two from the factory i have seen a few of them.

Differences also include the 40th annv stitching in the seats lol if you've got one..

nismo front bar, rear sway bar in boot, gtr rear wing, sunroof, hicas..

i'm sure these cross into SI and SII - depends on what the original owner got factory..

also what about HICAS - do SI have hicas?

I just bought an R33 which appears to be a S2, its a january 1996 model. What concerns me is that it may not be a real S2 because it has no ABS or sunroof. Does anyone if the very early S2 come without ABS ?

Another trivial but important tip for buyers of secondhand parts.

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?

so can anyone list the HARD AND FAST FACTS that a buyer can use to tell between a series 1, 2 and 1.5 if they are a different model between 1 and 2?

do ALL R33 GTS-T's come with an LSD, or is it an option?

is there anyway to tell the model of an R33 by any identification numbers etc?

The definative way to check the model is using the FAST software from this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...++nissan++check

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)

    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad. 
    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.
