Hey guys i've been looking for a gtr r33 series 3 and there was this one that i saw from a car dealer he told me it was a series 3 '97 model. It has the red trimmed interior red light on the rhs tail light where the reverse light is suppose to be. (sorry if it's the wrong term for it) and a black/greyish lip on the front bar. Thing is there's no xenon lights i wouldn't know if this is would actually be a series 1 with series 3 stuff or it's a series 3 that has had its lights swapped. Just wanna verify i'm getting a '97 instead of a '95 model before i buy the car.

p.s the dealer said that the dual air bag came as an option as where as for '98 models it was standard.

-thanks.

Should have dual airbags on late model R33. Dual airbags were a option on Series 1.

As for headlight, it could be swapped for compliance - If I recall factory xenons will fail compliance due them not being adjustable automatically.

Front lip, is it deeper than normal lips found on series 1 & 2?

Run the chassis on VIN FAST thread it'll tell you exactly what it is.

If you've got genuine S3, ask dealer for original xenons (worth roughly $3k with ballsats).

Hope this help you.

Yep check the VIN number first. The only thing that is strange is the fact it has one airbag....

Series 2 onward should have had dual airbags out of the factory.

Does it have red stitching on the seats/steering wheel?

yeah it does, red stitching on the steering wheel and on the seats.

Ok, another dead give-away would be the rear lights.

Is there 1 or 2 reverse lights?

And do you have the foglight switch under the steering wheel (not directly under but you know what I mean)

Series 3 have 1 reverse light and 1 fog light.

Hi mate, I'm pretty sure the xenon lights came as a standard feature on all series 3 models. anyways something smells fishy. here are some possibilites

the car might of been in a front end accident where the owner didn't bother replacing back xenons. did you ask the dealer if its an accident vehicle?

some brokers/private importers/dealers purposely swap the xenons out before they send it off to compliance. they do it for the best interested of their clients.

get the vin and check it with NISSAN FAST for the build date.

Hope this helps

      Power steering pump r32

      By waxracing · Posted

      Thanks Mate, I did know you could do that but i know there is a pump out there that you can bolt on and it all lines up. I was told about it and then forgot the model, I figure if i am pulling it apart i will just put a new one on

      You can also remove the veins from the HICAS portion of your existing pump.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MR51MN · Posted

      Cheers, yeah it was recently imported, is the actual Nissan not an Infiniti so will have to do some chasing around for parts.    Any ideas if the side skirts from a Q50 would fit on the 400r?
