mine is spec m and has got colour coded front grill with chrome S badge is an 05/95 build

has the side pods and all that it dosnt have lsd and not sure about abs, has the bigger squarer looking spoiler

and has the seatbelt arm things on the a pillar to make seatbelts easier to reach, and has drivers airbag, also

has vvt or whatever its called and is a 5 seater and it has rear wiper not sure about rear window washer as

I never use it, interior colour is sort of a darkish grey velour with black and light gray patterned genuine floor mats and has geniune

nissan wind guards which are a purpley colour on both driver and passenger doors they start at the front near the mirrors

and extend up to the roof running the full length of the window/door, it also has the electric hiccas 4ws (is that super hiccas?)

in relations to everyones questions

r32's were made in 1989 May and stopped production 1993 August (GTS-4 and GTR start production was August 1989-1993 August)

r33's were made in 1993 August and stopped froduction in 1998 May

r34's were made in 1998 May and stopped production August 2002

r32's come types not series :

FROM MAY 1989 - AUGUST 1993 (EXCLUDES GTS-4 PRODUCTION STOPPED IN NOVEMBER 1993)

(SEDAN ONLY, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTE type X < was the later model of a GTE (different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from)

(COUPE ONLY, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTS type J and X < the later model of a GTS (different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from) each type, J being (coupes) and type X being (sedans)

NOTE* This being the only r32 GTS (1998cc) to have a sedan and coupe under the same type

(SEDAN AND COUPE, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTS type S < (still called a type S but with different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from)

(SEDAN AND COUPE, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTS-t type m < (still called type M but with different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from)

(SEDAN AND COUPE, 5AT FR and 5MT FR. EXCLUDING GTS25 type X) GTS-t THIS MODELS PRODUCTION STOPPED AFTER AUGUST 1991 AND WAS REPLACED WITH GTS25 *NOTE this is N/A after August 1991

GTS25 introduced with two different models type S (coupes) and type X * G (sedans) *NOTE 2 MONTHS LATER MAKING GTS25 type X THIS WAS A SPECIAL EDITION SEDAN OFFERING MORE OPTIONAL FEATURES AND ALIGHT BODY WORK MAKING IT 20KG LIGHTER

(SEDAN ONLY, 4AT FR and 5MT FR)GXi type X < was later model of the GXi (different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from)

From August 1989 GTS-4 was introduced

(SEDAN AND COUPE, 4AT FR and 5MT FR) GTS-4 (still called a GTS-4 but with different standard features slight cosmetic design and more Optional features to choose from) *TAKE NOTE THIS CAR GAINED 60KG

From August 1989 GTR was introduced

the GTR stayed the same from August 1989-1993 August then switching too r33

NISSAN REMODELED EVERY DESIGN LISTED ABOVE AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 1992 WITH THE USUAL SLIGHT COSMETIC CHANGE AND NEW OPTIONAL FEATURES AND STANDARD FEATURES. ( :P no point in saying what i just said again )

*NOTE all models listed were 1998cc (excluding X * G 1809cc) (GTS25 2498cc) (GTR 2568cc)

Well thats about it for 32's other than the Nur spec and such and bathurst it doe not get classed as Nissan and falls under NISMO make.

Now to answer the above question :( having vvt means its a series 2 engine. If thats factory engine it will be a series 1.5

all those things you stated are optional features for any r33 so its hard to say but the interior you said is series 1 and if the engine is original than its defiantly a series 1.5

:bunny: unless someone took your skyline apart and mixed and matched ....... a lot ;)

P.S a lot of people are getting confused with there series and saying things that are miss-leading

check the link and it gives you a list of optional features of all models from r32-r34

it will tell you straight away what series you have looking on the link

IF ANYONE WANTS ME TO DO R33'S

FOR WHAT I DID ON THE R32'S JUST PM ME AND ILL POST IT ON HERE

just checked the the link given by centrel coast. and looks like the only non - turbos that come with LSD from factory are the E-ECR33 frame ones. i dont know if everyone has that one. Mine says E-ECR33 on the plate inside the bonnet. Which makes it a GTS TYPE S. i dont know if thats a good thing, since am a newbie to Skyline. just got mine a few days ago.

and the non turbo r33 without the LSD is the one with the E-ER33 FRAME.

other differences are:

GTS25 (E-ER33) is 140kw,

Standard features include - Rear spoiler, Rear seat lap sash belt, Side impact protection bars, Power windows, Central door locking, Steering wheel height adjust.

Optional features Limited slip differential, Front fog lamps, Rear window wiper, Driver airbag, Front passenger airbag, Anti-lock braking system, Navigation system, Leather steering wheel, Alloy wheels

GTS25 (E-ECR33) TYPE S is 147kw,

Standard features include - Limited slip differential, Rear spoiler, Rear window wiper, Rear seat lap sash belt, Side impact protection bars, Power windows, Central door locking, Steering wheel height adjust, Leather steering wheel, Alloy wheels.

Optional features Front fog lamps, Front spoiler, Driver airbag, Front passenger airbag, Anti-lock braking system, Navigation system

information from - http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/nissan/skyline/1993_8/ and http://www.motortraders.net/imports/select...e&period=79

Forgive mwa for any mistakes coz am a noobie. Lol.

I read the first few pages of this thread and then jumped straight to the last one so if this has been mentioned earlier, then I don't care...

Regarding the ABS being standard or not on the R33 Series II Turbo;

If it's a '96 SII, then ABS was an option whereas it cam standard '97 onwards.

And just another quick fact, the '96 came standard with a rear window wiper whereas the '97 did not....... :D

Yo, i just made a thread about series 1 and series 2 fronts before i saw this thread, so if anyone can enlighten me:

"Hey guys, banged up my series 1.5 r33 gtst, have to replace the front bar, bonnet and lights of a series 1 front.

If i change all these parts to a series 2 front, do i have to change anything else, like the side quarter panels etc?

Thanks!"

Another thing Ive noticed is the rear number plate holder size is smaller on the series 1, some i have seen have had fold the plate at each end to fit in the space, where mine has more than enough room.

Yes but you also need to change the grill and front 1/4 panels.

Lol I just bought my s1 - its my first car....

Please don't tease - Need some up side to it

Whats wrong with a S1, personally i dont like the front of the S2, the indicators look like they were an after thought stuck in the front bar, also dont like the interior material, looks like its out of an excel, and also the color coded panel between in indicators look better clear imo, keeps the lines flowing.

i think it depends...

If you got the s1 non m spec version (93-94) its pretty ugly...

However if you get the m spec version or series "1.5" with the updated front bar then it looks pretty nice.

However personal opinion really.

The only difference between the m-spec non mspec and s1.5 is that the mspec has wider openings in the sides of the front bar, the others look a bit plain but i wouldnt say they are ugly.

But thats just my personal opinion.

anybody know if the interior (ie. front and rear seats, door trim sections, A and B pillar moulds) are interchangable between S1 and S2 gtst?

I assume the pillar mods are the same, the rest is a common bolt in upgrade for S1 owners.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
