R33: (gts-t) Series 1 And 2 Differences

[dezz]

no they dont all have sunroofs...type-m or not

[MotoMan]

I just bought myself a 97 silver series 2 gtst type m with active LSD....

active LSD is uncommon?

has the ALSD and SLIP lights on the dash

[R33S2]

Alsd were a option and expensive too.

Type M are turbo, NA's could be optioned with this and like all options it was up to the original buyer what your car has.

Options that I know of from factory (Nismo had others as well)

Sunroof

ABS

Alsd

Front lip (S2)

Rear Pods

Side skirts

Cruise control

Fog lights (S1)

Front bar (S1) dont know if S2 had front bar option aside from nismo

Steering wheel (S1)

Air Bags (S1)

Others?????

[dezz]

Factory MOMO wheel inc. airbag (might only be s2)...also seems to be an option for R34 GTR's

[RANDY]

I thought the rear pods, skirts, and front lip were the M-Spec?

My 96 s2 has the M-Spec bits, but no sunroof or ABS (optional)

Some sites list 95 (1.5's) models as series 2, and also list ANY series two as M-Spec. I thought the whole bodykit on the series2 was the M-Spec option? It probably had stiffer suspension or something too?

FAST shows my car as being a "GTS25TM1"

Curious to know if other series2's don't have the "M1" bit at the end?

[dezz]

it hurts...THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS an M-SPEC R33!

do you call a GTR a TGR just because its kind of similar?

it is type-m. period.

there are no 1995 series 2's...only the made up "1.5" which have the series 2 motors

Sideskirts and pods were an option, and a pretty common one.

[32GTRB]

is there anyway to tell if a series 2 33 has abs? i.e by dash lights etc. is so could you please post pics. thanks

[dezz]

The ABS system is on the firewall on the right hand side of the engine bay (passenger side)

If you don't have ABS, there'll be a lot of space in that area

[nizmo_freek]

Heres what the ABS looks like, its the big silver box with all the lines going into it, on the passangers side of the car right behind the strut tower

[paulr33]

not something between s1 & s2 but auto and manual has different rated actuator.

manual is 7.4psi and auto is 5.2psi

hehe! OK! Type M it is!

So FAST says I have a gts25tm1, which i'm assuming is Type-M I, not II... which has the following options:

"Front spoiler, Rear window wiper, Anti-lock braking system, Navigation system, Ultraviolet reducing glass, Tinted windows"

I have the front spoiler, but does that include the skirts and rear pods? It seems that if you have one, you have them all?

Got wiper and UV glass (I think)

[LTHLRB]

are the heads on s1 and s2 the same? like the vvt and stuff?

[jim80]

How can you tell a type m from the normal model?

[Darkboy]

It apears to have never been there. The MDF on the rear shelf appears to be factory with no hole for where the wiper would come from. The wiper stalk also does not have the rear control on it. ????

I haven't got the rear window wiper as well as no control on the wiper stalk...it gives the car a much sleeker and cleaner appearance from side profile. Its a 97 as well.

one of the easiest ways with the 33 is to pop the bonnet, look down the passengers side of the engine bay, and if there is a turbo, its a type m, if there isn't then it isn't a type m.

the 32s have bigger brakes, leather triming inside (gear boot, steering wheel, and handbrake cover)

Haha, thanx

[R33S2]

Well aparently the turbos are different not only in the plastic compressor but it is a different designed compressor fan as well, which isn't really surprising just not mentioned.

[SilverECR33]

OK, so how do we tell if its a s1, s1.5??? if some or all of the parts match or dont match what has already been said about these.

i have a s1 (im sure) but some of these guys with s2's have similar htings to my s1 , but my car aint a s2. etc..

need a vin check somehow. i know holden do it.(to some extent). anyone got any ideas?

[dezz]

post your VIN and i'll tell you what year it was built

[Mike5444]

Hi there,

I'm new to r33'S, I'm in the process of purchasing a 96 gtst.

A little off topic but Question:

"What's happened to the Cruise Control in these things? I read a spec sheet and it said that the it wasn't even an option in the S1-S2."

Is this correct? If so WTF?????? My run of the mill turbo '88 Z31 has cruise control std......................

I've noticed the bracket for the cruise control cable is there

but no cable etc.

Anyone have C.C on an R33 GTS?
