There is such a thing as a 93 s1 with dual airbags, coz its sitting in my garage. The steering wheel (air bag) looks different to s2 and so does the passenger side air bag. They are also factory stand

Actually I read recently on an options list for 93-95 GTSt's that passenger airbag was an option. The fact that Britto's is the only one anyone's ever seen just shows how much Japanese skyline drivers

Just to clarify once more.

I blew my turbo had shit on both ends out the exhaust and in the intercooler. Front blade is plastic, exhaust fins are ceramic. Both S1 and S2 R33s have ceramic/plastic turbos.

Why I have no ABS in my S2 late 1996 model? I was told they were offered as extras at the time...

No not all 95's came with a airbag but remember that some owners in japan got the airbag option fitted to a car as i have seen a 93 R33 GTST with duel airbags

I stumbled upon another difference between mine and a series 1. The fuel rail on an S1 is held in with 5 bolts while mine only has 3, the series 1 needs all of them to hold it in place and my manifold had the holes pretaped.

Not sure if any mentioned that the s1 has the battery in the boot? and the s2 has the battery in the engine bay...

Supposidly I have a series 1.5 but i can't tell. Looks like a s1 in and out. although the velour seats are completely diffferent from the old looking s1 seats and also the s2 seats.....

nope sorry mate s2 has battery in the boot as s1 did....

if it is a series 1.5 you will not have an ignitor pack at the back of your cam cover - its a small box say 10cm square. the coils handle the different voltage.

IIRC this is in fact a diffreence between sedans and coupes not the two different series. like duncan said, all r33 coupes have the battery in the boot

is it too late to post..

im not 100% on these, so please correct them if they are wrong..

but i think

- the trim has a different pattern? and changes to a more cloth material ( so i am told )

and also,

- the cluster has different positions on some of the warning lights.

**sory if its a repost and i happened to miss it.

Q; What is the difference between a series 1 and series 2 R33 Gtst?

A; There are several differences...

* The front end of the series 2 is sharper, slimmer headlights, different front bar (indicators and fog lights are round and located at the bottom of the bar). The bonnet has much sharper ridges.

* The "skyline" panel at the rear of the car is body coloured on the series 2.

* The interior of the series 2 has been updated including different trim, a passenger airbag and the dash facia has been updated.

* Mechanical differences include an updated ECU and a ceramic turbo.

* The series 1 was in production from late '93 through to late '95. The series 2 ran from early '96 through to early/mid '98.

ok.. this means i cant change my s1 bumper in to a 33 gtr.... can i? :laugh:

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
