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!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
