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.

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?

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

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
