How To Tell If R33 Is S1 Or S2

[Skyline_95GTS]

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

boot lock and bonnet bulge are the easiest way to tell which body, and ignitor on the cam covers tells the engine is series 1 design. dashboard moulding is different 2

[Skyline_95GTS]

OK so what series is this one...?

[Skyline_95GTS]

?

It looks like a series II with an aftermarket front bar

(edit: bonnet doesn't have the same lines as an S2 though - could be a S1.5?)

[Skyline_95GTS]

sweet! but is the only difference the way it looks? nothing different in performance??

[ECR033]

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.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it!

Looks like mine is an S2 then

looks like a series 1 at the front, series 2 at the back (only the bit that says SKYLINE). it could be a series 1.5

what year is the manufacture date?

[silver gts-t]

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

S2 are 96-98 models S1 are 93-95

also i think that front bar is a jun style, wheels i think impul and a kakimoto exhaust
