I have not been able to find a resource or thread that briefly describes what small things were changed/improved from year to year for the R34.

Now this is on a presumption that things were changed from year to year. As an example a slight body tweak or something that was an option one year became standard.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I may find this information?

Cheers!

from S1 to S2, there were minor aesthetic changes to the interior trim eg: silver bit on steering wheel and gear knob, different color cluster lights and if u are one of the unlucky ones...u get the fugly S2 front bar which makes it look like a BA falcon with no room for a FMIC. S2 also comes with just slightly more torque from memory an extra 10nm.

S2 stock wheels are also in a different color...gunmetal greyish similar to the 34 GTRs, S2 NEO engine cover, the turbo letters are not painted red, interior trim in the S2s are also slightly different, some argue are of lower quality...

S2 front bar:

started reading this thread and thought 'bugger ive paid too much and got a s1' but lookin at the differences (namely the front bar) im soo glad i dont have a s2. it looks like they stole the front bar from a soarer or something.

    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
