Hey guys,

Got a silver R33 Series 2 GTST over the weekend after seeing a couple of the over the past few weeks, plenty of nicely priced skylines online at the moment.

I prefered the Series 2 due to the updated body and airbags. It's only got 79,000kms which I was a bit weary of but it looks legit, interior and seats and in great condition.

Running stock boost, only mods are adjustable BOV and Apexi CAI. Stock rims and height.

Thinking of mods but want to save money at the moment.

Hoping to meet you guys on the next Sydney cruise.

Cheers,

Rob.

series 1, 1.5 and 2 all run the same engine and body but they have a few minor differences. some of the plugs are different on the engine and the s1.5 and s2 have a nylon compressor wheel on the turbo instead of the steel wheel on the s1. they all still have the ceramic exhaust wheel which is the weak spot. the coil packs used on the s1.5 and s2 also have the ignitor built into them while the s1 has an external ignitor like the r32 does. body wise the s1.5 has the same panels as the s1 but has the s2 wing. the s2 runs different headlights, bonnet and front guards as well as different front bar and the skyline rear garnish is colour coded instead of being clear (but you will see many s1's and s1.5's with them painted to look like a s2). interior wise the s2 has a slightly different dash surround, different trim (on seats and doors) and different steering wheel.

that is most of the differences.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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... 😛
