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!

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
