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!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
