Hey guys im new to this forum and this is my first post.

I am very seriously looking at buying an R33 Gts-t but im unsure of the difference between

the Series 1 and 2. On the outside i notice the series 2 has the round lights on the front.

I personally like the series 1 Rectangle lights.. but other than that what are the differences?

Engine wise and visually and what is the better buy?

Oh and Im from W.A.. can anyone recommend me a good place to buy a skyline.. is Imports101 any good?

I really want a low k R33 Gts-t 5 Speed Coupe in Black with full electrics thats completely stock.

All help is much appreicated.

Brad.

As has been said above - there's plenty of info about the differences... in fact there's an entire sticky in the FAQ forum devoted to it, plus links to other sites with corroborating infor.

I know because I used it last month to buy my S1.

As for imports101, I don't know - I bought mine from Paul at Autoworx in Wangara.

EDIT - My bad! This car is sold, but there's another on coming soon acording to the site.

I offer no comment on any of the stock, pricing etc and am not affiliated with them. I'm just trying to provide some helpful info.

Most notable differences are the Exterior and Interior styles. Couple mech changes (nothing serious) and that's about it.

I personally went with a S1 as I had a bad experience with an airbag as a passenger *shudders*. I also avoided sunroofs. I even managed no ABS.

I wanted a drivers car and that's what I got. It comes down to choice and you can generally change anything you don't want. I love my S1 and have already changed a few things the previous owners did.

Anyway best of luck, the others have told you were the differences info is. I don't know about importers, I bought one that had been here for 6 months.

Sorry about that guys, it shows i didnt search very well..

But i think im set on the S2, Purely because its a newer car and has some extra features.

I origionally liked the S1's better but the overall cosmetic difference of the S2's is

growing on me. Im not that fond of the round driving lights on the front bar of the S2's though..

especially that orange one :laugh:

If i can sell my 92 EB XR6 for the right price ill start looking at either, Distinctive Car Imports or Imports101 for a nice Black S2 R33 Gts-t.

Thanks for the help guys.

Ive finally made my decision :yes:

Im gonna get a 95 S1.. Well 1.5 that is. Its the newest of the S1's so i figure ill get it,

Though i do like the S1 spoiler better than the S1.5 spoiler.

Hopefully i can import a totally stock Black 1995 S1/1.5 Manual Coupe for around $15,000

What are your guys opinons?

You would be the first person I have met that actually likes the series 1 rear spoiler over the series 2.

Good luck with the purchase!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
