i used to own a type S. all i could see that was diffrent as far as i no. Is you get a LSD and a rear window wiper. i no theres more to them but thats the main things i think. I noticed mine was a type S when i first picked it up, and started driving along..... pulled up at a set of lights, took off hard all the way to the rev limy in 1st and than snaped 2nd and dumped it, And weeeeee the ass end steped right out and cracked back just as quick.

I liked that car hehe

Cheers

- Extra 10 hp 200hp vs 190hp

- Uses 0.6L/100 more 10.2 vs 9.6 per 100kms freeway driving

- LSD as standard, (LSD is an option on non type s)

- 40kg heavier than non type s

- Rear wiper standard (option on non type s)

my NA has the rear wiper and had the variable flap thingo in the rear muff too......if its a type s there sure as hell isnt anything else on the car anywhere else that says its a type s lol.

You can check your chassis number. If its non turbo and starts with E-ECR33 then you have a type S. If its E-ER33 then you have a standard R33 non turbo.

along with the already mentioned differences is the type s has hicas and a rear sway bar, where the non type s don't, also the badges on the front guard are different colours, type-S has the red GT badges where's the non type S has blue.

Mine's a type S but its got blue badges......

I thought red badge = turbo, blue badge = NA?

yea mine has the type s chassis number and the red GT badges. i always thought the previous owner just put the red GT badges on there haha.

im pretty sure that your previous owner put those red badges on, as red = turbo and blue = NA.

cheers

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
