R33 Gts-t Series 1 Or 2?

[Schulzy]

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.

I am a lil bias being an owner of a S2 but i believe that they are a nicer look on the exterior....nmuch nicer front end...

[ctjet]

shut up !!!!

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

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.

[fEkuaR]

youll never get back in another xr6 thats for sure . Unless maybe its a big hp xr6t... Good luck

[SilverECR33]

go the "poll" s1 for the win ..

[Munna1]

I like the S1 not a fan of the lego lights in the front bar of the S2. Engine and drive train are pretty much the same. Obviously the advantage of the S2 is that its a new car.

Ive finally made my decision

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?

[R33silverS2]

Why did you decide on an s1?

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!

Go the S2....all the way!!!!

[d00dz]

nah S1 wing much much better.. then again im bias.. since i have a S1

[Modena]

S2: better headlights, better spoiler, better trim, better steering wheel, fog lights...

[Pax-Ottomanica]

Yeah, series 2 front owns you all!! More modern, elegant lines with a nice hood.

[Munkyb0y]

S2 front is teh gay.

and who said S2 trim is better? Pleeeeeeez. Looks like State Rail did the trim in anti graffiti fabric.

Although S2 rear spoiler is nicer

I am very bias by the way. S1 FTW !!!
