dude try and do a search on this for the forum.

this has been covered not long ago......

well anyways since im here ill post the differences between Series 1 and 2 of R34 GT-R

*Later models have different paint in the engine bay

*later models have black interior instead of grey like the earlier ones.

*the headlight housing is darker than the earlier ones.

*the later model R34 GT-R has a metal sheeting over the ECU

*later models have different mirror adjusting knob than the earlier ones

*Color of shift pannel are differrent (satin)

*Color of front and side market lens, early ones are yellow and later ones are white.

*different pedals

*type of radiator is different between year models

*bigger rear rotor on the later ones

*different "nissan" badge on boot/trunk in the year models

*different available std color (stopped few colors on the older one and added some new colors for the later models)

*engine oil cap changed back to R33 clicking type (not all)

*Engine number changed from start of 0 to 7 and type of font used to stamp numbers have changed but this happened some where in year 2002 (I think when nur started manufacturing)

and then theres other differences in N1, V-Spec I + II, M-spec, V-spec NUR, M-spec NUR, Z-tune etc

but

what was posted is just the standards between non GT-Rs

That's not entirely correct

The V Spec and V Spec II have the extra 2 sensors (inlet and exhaust temp) that non V Specs dont have.

The "series" 1 cars, whether it's V Spec or not, do have colour coded engine bays for yellow and red cars. Although I have suspicion that silver are also coded as well.

oh and since i mentioned the headlight being darker..........

it also has a different shaped park light within the headlight

You've outdone Jamie once and for all..

You've outdone Jamie once and for all..

nah hang on.....he hasnt yet.....

if he posts another reply with more then he has.....

the last posts all he ever said and went on about is "N1, N1 & N1"!

LOL

[Iron Chef]

lol prepare to be dazzled haha

Grab handle on the driver's side was deleted in S2

Spare tyre was upgraded to a better one

Paint finish under the bonnet was improved - i.e. it was actually painted, not just a base coat

Jamie you only said the radiator was different, so I thought I should add the extra information about the top tanks

And the real kicker...

The plastic covers over the bootlid hinges were changed! Don't ask me how they changed though...

Mate, you are an ABSOLOUTE...................................................CHAMPION!

i would never of picked it

shiet......i guess theres SO MUCH changed between series 1 and 2...

so about that grab handle......

what......there isnt any in S2? what did they compensate for that? because ive never seen an R34 GTR with a grab handle on the drivers side..

and when you metnioned about the double din.....ive never seen a Factory double din......all have the single din and the small compartment under..???

that series 2 Brushed aluminium around the console is hella nice!

It's not really real aluminium though, but you already knew that hey.

well i didnt think it would be....

but thats what its called anyways "brushed Aluminium"

pple use that scheme for all sorts of things ...the latest trend...fridges, furniture etc etc.

well at the end.....the series 2 console looks alot better than series 1.

[Iron Chef]

I should mention the finish on the console went from what Nissan called silver to titanium...obviously not the real stuff

I should clarify on the stereo, sorry I misread the Japanese. The double DIN stereo was offered as an option on the S2s. Mine has a single DIN with a dummy CD player lol, go the N1. Dodgy AM radio for me...

On the grab handle thing, I think the grip on the passenger side changed somehow, maybe a pull-out one to a solid one, if that makes sense. I haven't got a S1 to compare it to, and I can't be stuffed going out to check mine lol.

well i have yet to see an R34 with a factory double din......i dont think anyone ever bothered getting that upgrade..

although, factory sterios are rediculously expensive.... the Toyota Hiace Double DIN factory stereo was over 500$

well i guess we covered all the differences by now eh?
