What Year Was The S3 Gtr

[MUZT3K]

Hey guys..ive been trying to find the answer the my question everywhere..i just want to know what year is the s3 r33 gtr becoz I saw a 95' gtr with red stiching and im just trying to work out if its a s3 cheers.

[PM-R33]

Definetely not.

Series III was 1997 and 1998.

as said above there is no way it could be S3.

Also it isn't just red stitching that sets them apart. projector headlights,rear fog light and a stronger gearbox (im sure someone has maybe some more to add to this).

[MUZT3K]

Ah ok thanks guys..it also has 2 holes on the front bumper above the intercooler..thought that might indicate it could be a s3 coz some ive seen dont have it..correct me if im wrong

Those vents are a Nismo option or something James, not related to series. 95 will 100% be a Series 1

Can't remember if S3 got the holes but i just remembered the bottom lip on the front bar of an S3 is ABS plastic(iirc).

S3 have a much deeper front lip. they have dual airbags, they have the red stiching, they have projector headlights, they have the improved gearbox etc. they are almost all 1998 models. some 1997.

1995 is 100% series 1. no doubt about it.

the holes in the front bar are a popular option. some people fitted them, some didn't. they don't indicate anything.

[MUZT3K]

fair enough thanks for clearing that all up for me guys.

Probably had the interior changed at some point. S3 interior is fairly desirable I believe.
