Not true.

And I am sure you are talking about the series 1.5 front bar.

Yeah that bar did come standard on the 1.5 but i'm pretty sure it was an option on the '94 range of series 1's marketed as the "m-spec front bar"

Although i could have been told evil evil lies!!!

Cheers

I have the R33 Series II factory broacher and price list and the model names are not as simple at they appear.

The turbo coupe versions are:

GTS 25 T Type M (This is the one with the V-Spec active diff and cost 3,567,000 yen)

GTS 25 T Type M Spec II

GTS 25 T Type M Spec I

As I cannot read Japanese I do not understand what the difference is between the Spec II and Spec I models – they even cost the same 3,007,000 yen.

1.5 bar is what you have in your avatar. have a look at pre 95 models to see the original series 1 bar which isnt that nice to look at.

Yeah I know what the series one bar looks like... i don't think you read my post properly..anyway..

Just to make things a little clearer too there was no factory series 1.5 its just somthing that was applyed to late model series 1 33 gtst's that had some series 2 parts fitted from factory due to the change over from series 1 to 2 (lack of series 1 parts im guessing)

old post but here goes, Series 1 is Zenki which means a new model change from R32 and Series 2 is Kouki which means the same old model but beefed up to get them to sell better as it's 1/2 way to it's next new model which is R34. This was what i was told by a Japanese friend. R34 came out in 1999 and R33 was still in production til 1998. To be able to sell the remaining R33 which was produced by Nissan, they had to make a new facelip and new body style (kouki) to actually make people buy them. Even the interors were different from the S1 versions. Engines are same except that the igniter was built in on S2 and external on S1.

^^^^ s2 r33 was in production for 2+ years they didn't do it to move the last of the production run :) they didn't paint stripes on it and call it a cobra, it's also not whats called an s.v.p (special value pack).

It's a facelift model like a falcon bf mk2 ect.

M-spec have airbags

The M stands for Mummy

The r34 had an N-spec with 2 handbags

The N stands for Nana..

If you could read Japanese you'd know this already :)

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
