Yep increase in torque, also..

Viscous to Helical LSD

Different front bar

Two tone colour steering wheel and gear knob

Aluminum pedals

Darker rims (more GTR colour)

And i think that's about, altho i always forget something when i list the differences :D

The Series II’s also have a different turbo, Garret with metal compressor and steel turbine. Boost is set at about 900kpa and I believe the ECU is different as well.

Instruments have silver faces that light up orange, oil press and boost read in kpa vice kg/cm.

Center console is painted a bronze color and has the same radio options as the later GT-R. Shift boot is different and the shifter has about 10% shorter throws.

A good upgrade for Series I GT-t’s is to put a Series II shifter in as it is almost identical to the NISMO one and costs less.

Also the cover for the three gauges in the center has a better finish on it, more like the rest of the dash as does the center vent assy with the hazard button.

The power mirror controls are different as well. And the glove box does not lock.

ummmm

isn't 900kpa like 9bar?? that isn't right,,

on mine , car boosts up till 0.75-0.8 bar approx (10-11psi) (car is stock standard),,

also found out i "used" to have fog lights!!!! but they were removed because a c-west front bar was fitted in japan,!!! doh!!!!

also!!! there was a factory option of "cup holders" at the rear of the center console!! under the ash tray,,,

i don't have an ash tray or cup holders,,, just a plastic cover,, for both... hehe,,,

is ur engine bay bayside blue or is it a really dark navy blue (almost black)??, mine is painted the dark colour, ( so is demon dave's r34) ,, i can't see y nissan didn't just paint the engine bay blue,,,

still,,,,,,, Bayside Blue rules,, :D

Sorry about that I meant 90kPa .......extra zero in there.

My engine bay is dark blue/black. I think the 2001 cars got body-color engine bays.

Funny thing is all the white, yellow and red cars I have seen have body-color engine bays, but the silver and light colored cars had the light grey engine bays regardless of year.

ya its really annoying having the dark coloured engine bay,, you wouldn't believe how many times i've had to say "the car was NOT black before!, the engine bay is Meant to be black!"

lots of people think that the car has been re-sprayed blue....

have u compared ur car against a series I?? is there any difference in performance? (acceleration/power etc etc)?

Not many R34 GT-t's (only 3 I think) on Okinawa so I have not had a chance to "compare" mine against any others.

hey eharrald

can u confirm that the series II r34 has the metal compressor wheel??

is there a way of telling from the outside of the turbo???

do you know if there is a different clutch kit used from the series I??,,, since there is more torque in the series II (i know 20Nm isn't much,, but still u never know),,

i need to change my clutch and need to confirm,,,

thanks

Hey Afro.

If you wanted to be certain your turbo had the metal compressor wheel you could do 1 of 2 things.

1. Take out the turbo and physically have a look or

2. Pull of the heat shields and look for the stamp on the turbo. If it says Garrett then it is metal wheel, if it says Nissan then it is nylon.

As for clutch, I'm not too certain as I have the tiptronic box.

oh ya just remembered,,

the series II instrument cluster ,, i.e speedo, tacho, the 3 guages etc all light up an amber/orange colour,, where as the series I lights up white,,

the A/C display still lights ups white on mine

were the sedans given all factory options (like a Holden calais equivalant)? i notice alot of people asking wheather or not they have a S1 or S2, did nissan actually call them S1 and S2 or is it just factory options? Also, why are there alot of variations of the skylines. ie: the 1998 r34 GTT sedan i have has 'skyline' in individual letters across the middle part of the boot where as some had skyline intergrated into the lower bumper. Another thing is that the sedans only GT shields on the front fenders, some have a GT-T badge on the back boot - below the right light. The interior instrument cluster and optional 3 gauge pod has amber lights (from what people are saying, its S2 that had them that colour but 1998 is an early r34 year so when did S2 skylines start to come out?), the rear seats have there drink holders and ashtrays and the driver/passenger have there own drinkholders. Does the vehicle ID plate state if its S1 or S2?

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
