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

Camden

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)

  • 3 weeks later...

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 :)

    • I think the consensus was that's normal. Sloped road surfaces or something? I remember @silviaz went through this before. It might be one of those things you never notice until you pay attention to it.
    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
