R33: (gts-t) Series 1 And 2 Differences

[seriesII]

i thought the red s was a aftermarket grill, cause i had it on my series 2 and took it of asap.. i thought all s badges were silver on all series.. hmm

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Just to clarify once more.

I blew my turbo had shit on both ends out the exhaust and in the intercooler. Front blade is plastic, exhaust fins are ceramic. Both S1 and S2 R33s have ceramic/plastic turbos.

Why I have no ABS in my S2 late 1996 model? I was told they were offered as extras at the time...

No not all 95's came with a airbag but remember that some owners in japan got the airbag option fitted to a car as i have seen a 93 R33 GTST with duel airbags

OK, my brother has a series 2... the side GT badge, is white and blue... anyone elses this colour???

i now realise these mean NA,, but being his is factory turbo, id say previous owner just changed to go with the white and blue flake paint or something

I stumbled upon another difference between mine and a series 1. The fuel rail on an S1 is held in with 5 bolts while mine only has 3, the series 1 needs all of them to hold it in place and my manifold had the holes pretaped.

Not sure if any mentioned that the s1 has the battery in the boot? and the s2 has the battery in the engine bay...

Supposidly I have a series 1.5 but i can't tell. Looks like a s1 in and out. although the velour seats are completely diffferent from the old looking s1 seats and also the s2 seats.....

[Duncan]

nope sorry mate s2 has battery in the boot as s1 did....

if it is a series 1.5 you will not have an ignitor pack at the back of your cam cover - its a small box say 10cm square. the coils handle the different voltage.

IIRC this is in fact a diffreence between sedans and coupes not the two different series. like duncan said, all r33 coupes have the battery in the boot

[R`Style]

is it too late to post..

im not 100% on these, so please correct them if they are wrong..

but i think

- the trim has a different pattern? and changes to a more cloth material ( so i am told )

and also,

- the cluster has different positions on some of the warning lights.

**sory if its a repost and i happened to miss it.

[skiwhine]

i have a 04/03 (complience date) r33, series 1 externally, but it has a series 2 engine... possibly first 1.5? or has my engine been swapped haha? (n i can tell my engine series 2 cos has no ignitor box, 2 plug TB, and different AFM then my mates series1) but how do u tell if engine been changed? cos the engine number aint on the factory tag :S

[HUAWEI]

Here's something I haven't seen mentioned.

I have a 98 R33 GTS-T Series II. It came with factory sun visors that are a red/brown colour.

[soongster]

Q; What is the difference between a series 1 and series 2 R33 Gtst?

A; There are several differences...

* The front end of the series 2 is sharper, slimmer headlights, different front bar (indicators and fog lights are round and located at the bottom of the bar). The bonnet has much sharper ridges.

* The "skyline" panel at the rear of the car is body coloured on the series 2.

* The interior of the series 2 has been updated including different trim, a passenger airbag and the dash facia has been updated.

* Mechanical differences include an updated ECU and a ceramic turbo.

* The series 1 was in production from late '93 through to late '95. The series 2 ran from early '96 through to early/mid '98.

ok.. this means i cant change my s1 bumper in to a 33 gtr.... can i?

[GTST98]

theres a list of what was different again on the 98 series 3 models in high porformance imports think it was like the second last issue! more factory options avalible agian on these ,haha

[br3ndan]

Not sure if this has been metioned but, the series 1 has 5 seat capacity where as 1.5 and up has been lowered to 4. I.E no middle seat in the series 1.5 and greater.

[paulr33]

does S1 have 5 seatbelts

[br3ndan]

yep. its got the middle one. And on the purple/pink compliance sticker it says 5. Thats my friends one. His one is 1993.

Mine which is 1995, has no middle seat belt and on the purple/pink compliance sticker it says 4.

[Onthehunt]

my series 2 was a 5 seater. it's just some compliance shops comply 33's as 4 seaters and some as 5 seaters.
