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

just like to add here peeps (mainly for others WHEN you hit this problem ) i am rebuilding a 93 "S1" GTST. and came across the dreaded coolant filling the passanger carpet area..!! THE BLOODY HEATER CORE..!!

removing the "heater core" is fairly simple...and ordered another one.....(did not fit ..? )....then other one....(did not fit..? )

I HAVE since found out there ARE 2 SIZES in regard to the heater cores in a R33 SKYLINE..? I cannot tell you IF the "S2' runs the thicker (35MM thick unit ) ...over the/ my (25MM thick unit ! ) the core / size IS the same....just the thickness of the 2 units..?

and obviously they are NOT interchangeable..? it pays IF you have to buy another one :::: ask / tell the seller to check thickness of unit..?

in my case I needed the "thinner" 25mm core...most were 35mm thick..?

those that want to know ::::

S2 front bumper onto a S1 nose....do-able ! (note:: must have the same REO BAR ) ie::: S2 bumper onto a S1 car using S1 REO will NOT FIT !! as stated here....headlights WILL stick "forward" off the S2 bumper as will the grill. unless ALL S2.

(also if you have "fogs" in your S1 bar. and are fitting an S2 bar. make sure you have the small wiring loom off the S2 fogs..? you WILL have to change the "connector plugs" from S2...to....S1 so they work in your S1 CAR..! )

gauge cluster interchangeable..!!

dash cluster surround face interchangeable !! sharing IS caring....LOL...all the best....

Same in what way? None of them have the same upholstery / stitching but after owning 3 x R33's myself (incl GTR's) I reckon they'd all be interchangeable.

not sure avout gtr seats (might have to measure up) but sedan Back seats r wider by about 2" and the mounting hooks are in different spots

Does a series 2 gts grille fit on a series 1 gtst?

No. While I've never tested this, as has been already said the bonnet is different, but so are the headlights. You could pick up an OEM series 2 grille for bugger all if you wanted to test.

I'm looking at guy in a nismo grille all I can get from the seller is its off an ecr33 gts don't know what that even is but mines a series 1 gtst

Gts and gtst are interchangable. GTRs aside all s1 are swapable with all s1 amd all s2 are swappable with s2.
S2 may bolt onto an s1 buy wont look right as the s2 bonnet hangs lower. S1 amd s2 headlights are different but i think its mostly along the top edge BUT they may be different on the side where it meets the grill.
Youll need to find out if the gts is a s1 or s2

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
