and has the seatbelt arm things on the a pillar to make seatbelts easier to reach, and has drivers airbag, also

has vvt or whatever its called and is a 5 seater and it has rear wiper not sure about rear window washer as

I never use it, interior colour is sort of a darkish grey velour with black and light gray patterned genuine floor mats and has geniune

and extend up to the roof running the full length of the window/door, it also has the electric hiccas 4ws (is that super hiccas?)

in relations to everyones questions

r32's were made in 1989 May and stopped production 1993 August (GTS-4 and GTR start production was August 1989-1993 August)

r33's were made in 1993 August and stopped froduction in 1998 May

r34's were made in 1998 May and stopped production August 2002

r32's come types not series :

FROM MAY 1989 - AUGUST 1993 (EXCLUDES GTS-4 PRODUCTION STOPPED IN NOVEMBER 1993)

(SEDAN ONLY, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTE type X < was the later model of a GTE (different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from)

NOTE* This being the only r32 GTS (1998cc) to have a sedan and coupe under the same type

(SEDAN AND COUPE, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTS type S < (still called a type S but with different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from)

(SEDAN AND COUPE, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTS-t type m < (still called type M but with different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from)

(SEDAN AND COUPE, 5AT FR and 5MT FR. EXCLUDING GTS25 type X) GTS-t THIS MODELS PRODUCTION STOPPED AFTER AUGUST 1991 AND WAS REPLACED WITH GTS25 *NOTE this is N/A after August 1991

From August 1989 GTR was introduced

the GTR stayed the same from August 1989-1993 August then switching too r33

NISSAN REMODELED EVERY DESIGN LISTED ABOVE AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 1992 WITH THE USUAL SLIGHT COSMETIC CHANGE AND NEW OPTIONAL FEATURES AND STANDARD FEATURES. ( :P no point in saying what i just said again )

*NOTE all models listed were 1998cc (excluding X * G 1809cc) (GTS25 2498cc) (GTR 2568cc)

Well thats about it for 32's other than the Nur spec and such and bathurst it doe not get classed as Nissan and falls under NISMO make.

Now to answer the above question :( having vvt means its a series 2 engine. If thats factory engine it will be a series 1.5

all those things you stated are optional features for any r33 so its hard to say but the interior you said is series 1 and if the engine is original than its defiantly a series 1.5

:bunny: unless someone took your skyline apart and mixed and matched ....... a lot ;)

P.S a lot of people are getting confused with there series and saying things that are miss-leading

check the link and it gives you a list of optional features of all models from r32-r34

it will tell you straight away what series you have looking on the link

IF ANYONE WANTS ME TO DO R33'S

FOR WHAT I DID ON THE R32'S JUST PM ME AND ILL POST IT ON HERE

just checked the the link given by centrel coast. and looks like the only non - turbos that come with LSD from factory are the E-ECR33 frame ones. i dont know if everyone has that one. Mine says E-ECR33 on the plate inside the bonnet. Which makes it a GTS TYPE S. i dont know if thats a good thing, since am a newbie to Skyline. just got mine a few days ago.

and the non turbo r33 without the LSD is the one with the E-ER33 FRAME.

other differences are:

GTS25 (E-ER33) is 140kw,

Standard features include - Rear spoiler, Rear seat lap sash belt, Side impact protection bars, Power windows, Central door locking, Steering wheel height adjust.

Optional features Limited slip differential, Front fog lamps, Rear window wiper, Driver airbag, Front passenger airbag, Anti-lock braking system, Navigation system, Leather steering wheel, Alloy wheels

GTS25 (E-ECR33) TYPE S is 147kw,

Standard features include - Limited slip differential, Rear spoiler, Rear window wiper, Rear seat lap sash belt, Side impact protection bars, Power windows, Central door locking, Steering wheel height adjust, Leather steering wheel, Alloy wheels.

Optional features Front fog lamps, Front spoiler, Driver airbag, Front passenger airbag, Anti-lock braking system, Navigation system

I read the first few pages of this thread and then jumped straight to the last one so if this has been mentioned earlier, then I don't care...

Regarding the ABS being standard or not on the R33 Series II Turbo;

If it's a '96 SII, then ABS was an option whereas it cam standard '97 onwards.

And just another quick fact, the '96 came standard with a rear window wiper whereas the '97 did not....... :D

Yo, i just made a thread about series 1 and series 2 fronts before i saw this thread, so if anyone can enlighten me:

"Hey guys, banged up my series 1.5 r33 gtst, have to replace the front bar, bonnet and lights of a series 1 front.

If i change all these parts to a series 2 front, do i have to change anything else, like the side quarter panels etc?

Thanks!"

Another thing Ive noticed is the rear number plate holder size is smaller on the series 1, some i have seen have had fold the plate at each end to fit in the space, where mine has more than enough room.

Yes but you also need to change the grill and front 1/4 panels.

Lol I just bought my s1 - its my first car....

Please don't tease - Need some up side to it

Whats wrong with a S1, personally i dont like the front of the S2, the indicators look like they were an after thought stuck in the front bar, also dont like the interior material, looks like its out of an excel, and also the color coded panel between in indicators look better clear imo, keeps the lines flowing.

i think it depends...

If you got the s1 non m spec version (93-94) its pretty ugly...

However if you get the m spec version or series "1.5" with the updated front bar then it looks pretty nice.

However personal opinion really.

The only difference between the m-spec non mspec and s1.5 is that the mspec has wider openings in the sides of the front bar, the others look a bit plain but i wouldnt say they are ugly.

But thats just my personal opinion.

anybody know if the interior (ie. front and rear seats, door trim sections, A and B pillar moulds) are interchangable between S1 and S2 gtst?

I assume the pillar mods are the same, the rest is a common bolt in upgrade for S1 owners.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
