Hey guys,

This probably sounds stupid but how exactly tell the difference between a series one and series two R33 just by looking at it. And is there a difference in performance between the two?

Thanks,

Sammy.

A series 2 from the front the Bonnet/ Grill is different, The headlights are a different shape and the front bar has those round fog lights and indicators in it. A series one has that funny grill with emblem on it and less angualr lights

From the rear the series one has that low rounded wing whereas the series 2 has a higher squared off wing

No difference in performance

PS prepare for heaps of people to tell you to search

There is little or no difference in performance between S1 and S2 (other than the wear and tear resulting from the fact that S1's have typically seen a few more years of service).

From memory, these are the main differences...

Interior:

Updated trim

Updated instrument panel

Passenger airbag

Exterior:

Round indicators and foglights

Sharper bonnet lines, grill and headlights

Chrome backing on headlights

Chrome 'S' Skyline symbol on bonnet

Color coded 'Skyline' trim under boot

Titanium coloured boot lock

Squarish rear spoiler

Mechanical:

Updated ECU

Nylon intake wheel on turbo

Updated ignition system

Different CAS for post Sept 97 models

There is a thread somewhere on the forum which has a detailed list of all the differences between S1 and S2 - do a search.

post up the interrior pic, pic of the gear shiift surroud and the dash surround

i think series 1 have the coin slot on the dash

series 2 have the coin slot on the gear shift surround

at least I think thats how it goes

you dont have a S2 unfortunatly, its a S1/.5

S2 are 96-98 models S1 are 93-95

Ummm no. u are wrong... very wrong, mine is a 95 series 2.. November build...

stick that up there.:)

OK so what series is this one...?

Yrs is a so called 1.5 dude

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
