Skyline R33 Dilemma

[ninjaking777]

this post is to those who know their stuff about R33 Skyline GTS-Ts.

i have posted this thread on fastfours forum and come up with some-what useless replies.

i am looking to buy one...in manual form of course! but i dont know what the differences are in the many variations this car comes in.

i am looking to buy a 94 or 95 model.

does anybody know if there are any differences between them?

and also...what are the differences that lie in the model names of HR33, ECR33, EC33 etc...

so which one would be the best to buy?

the reason i post this thread is because there is only a major visual difference between the 93' as compared to the 94' and 95'.

by this i mean...93' has non-clear headlights, different front-bar, etc.

whereas the 94' onwards has clear headlights, meatier front-bar etc

and then theres the 96' which has the grill, front bar, headlight changes etc.

but with the 94' and 95', there does not seem to be a difference? is that right?

thanks for any helpers

series 1 vs 2 R33

specs

more specs

93-94 is a series one

95 is a series 1.5 (blending of 1 and 2, bit tongue in cheek really a series 1)

96-98 is a series 2

I dont think this is a hard and fast rule though. IE some 94's seem to be like series 1.5's, some 95's seem to be series 2's.

Someone else will have to do the ECR, HCR thing cos I'm not sure.

[Terminal]

ECR33 is the GTS-T and HCR33 is the GTR

[prae]

BCNR33 is the GT-R

[zymotic]

BCNR33 is the GT-R

lol this is why i didnt touch the ECR etc thing

Thanks for dropping by this forum. I told you they were dickheads that were replying on the FF&R forum.

Glad you made it. There's some good info around as well as our own share of dickheads. Have fun.

thanks everyone for replying...

oh cheers 2rismo for giving me link here..

ppl here definitely know more

cheers zymotic for the series info.

it seems like there are a lot of skylines out there that mix-n-match the parts from different series GTSt's.

but regarding that "difference between series 1 and series 2" link u gave me..that was sorta useless...96' onwards GTSts are way out of my price range

i am more needing to know differences between series 1 and 1.5 i guess.

are the differences only visual ones that are obvious to me already?

[deano_82]

don't the 95> or series 2 models have an airbag and i think the dash might be a little different or the controls and interior???

not to sure what else

Use teh search

series 1.5

Differences I have noticed, mine is a series 1.5 apparently.

Rear spoiler is series 2 not 1.

Interior is series 1 (which is great cos i dont like the el cheapo mexican

series 2 interior - lol watch me get :flamed: by the series 2 owners for that.

etc.

and also...what are the differences that lie in the model names of HR33, ECR33, EC33 etc...  

My turn

E(1)-E(2)C(3)4R33

1. Exhaust emission standards identification

E: 53 year regulation conformity

2. Model and engine type

H: RB20det type

B: RB26dett type

E: RB25det type

3. Controlling device

Non sign: Front 2 wheel steering

C: 4 wheel steering

4. Drive system

Non sign: Rear wheel drive

N: 4 wheel drive

Its just a way that Nissan names the Engine/Steering/Driving System

The way the R33 GTR letters mean this.

E - Exhaust emission standards identification, 53 year regulation conformity

-

B - RB26DETT

C - 4 Wheel Steer

N - 4WD
