Differences Between A Series I & Series Ii R33 Gtr

[den15b]

Hey

Just on the look out for an R33 GTR, was just wondering, can you tell a Series I apart from a series II just by looking at photos, I have no idea if there even is an external difference. I know that stuff like grills and that kind of thing get changed alot to the later series in commodores, but is there something that is hard to change that will give it away in an R33 GTR. I have found that in 96, series II were produced, but does that mean from the begining of 96? If some one could help me with this question, I would be very thankful. Also, Is there a website that someone can point me to that will compare an R33 GTR series I to a series II.

Thankyou

electrically they are differnet I can tell you that much. in most of the S2 ones I have worked on they had smart entrance fitted. the S1 did not. dash cluster and main panel differ - there are otehrs but htose ar the ones I can name off from memory.

Chris what does the smart entrance thing actually do? I happen to have mine right in front of me and was googling to see if it did anything. I know it's got the buzzer in it, but have no idea what else it's "supposed" to do.

smart entrance controls the inside lights,door locks and chimes. in earlier cars they were separate modules.

FYI S3 is different again.

OK, now you just showing off Chris !!

I think series 2 should also have passenger side air bag where as S1 it was a very are option

and if you have the option try to buy a S3 one with the Projector head lights, for some reason, they look lot nicer..!!!

Thanks Chris. I'd still love to find a proper skyline drivers side actuator and whatever else I need to make the central locking do both doors. Was thinking this smart entrance was part of that. Not that my keyless entry system doesn't work, but turning the key in the drivers side door is very hard to do. I still think the actuator is in the wrong place

Hi Chris, Seeing as you are a guru with all things electrical in Skylines can you tell me how the door locking feature should work when operated with the doors closed in a GTR33 Series1,at the moment if I lock both doors from the inside whilst in the car you can still open the drivers side door from the outside,I assume something was not connected properly when the compliancing was done,I am fairly sure the locking knob on the drivers door does not close when the lock is electrically activated however central locking works properly locking both doors when the key activator is used when outside the car.Cheers GREYPEARL.

nothing to do with that. see about 3 post back.

Den, do a search mate, there's a lot of info on this in the archives. There are few differences between S1 and S2, the bigger differences came in S3 such as red colour interior instead of blue, upgraded ABS xenon headlights, rear fog light, additional ducts in the front bumper and a deeper chin spoiler
