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


PranK

Recommended Posts

I found a new one!! My series 2 had a little mis-fortune and needed a new Throttle position sensor. These are very different between the series 1 and 2 with the 2 having a pair of wiring loom entries and the series 1 only having a single wiring harness. It pays to check before ordering from Japan!!

I have a 93 series 1 that has dual airbags and front driving lights work (as stock) it's also got nice active lsd. (the slip and lsd lights are on the tacho). I'm new so i thought i post my 2 cents.

Cool britto I think that ALSD was an expensive (and therefore uncommon) option on type-M's, lucky you :D

Are you absolutely sure it's got dual airbags?? Like above the glovebox it has a rectangular outline and says SRS Airbag?? Cos I've never heard of any R33 other than a full-blown SII that had 2 airbags.

As for the driving lights, I'm pretty sure Series 1s have them, just not the same type as Series II, SII driving lights are round.

Yeah its got dual airbags, previous owner bought it with all the safety extra's. And it says SRS airbag on the rectangle. Yeah i was real lucky. As for the driving lights, i was told that they dont work on s1 as they weren't hooked up. Not sure how reliable my source is though.

As for the front rectangular indicator/foglight, there are 2 different types in the Series 1. Some have nothing in there and it is simply a white lense, whereas others have a foglamp there.

Make that 3 types, another option on series 1 was dual fog/driving lamps in the lower front 'type M' bar, in the area that is normally covered by black plastic mesh. Only ever seen 1 like this though.

Sure its just not a dash from a series 2? cuz there is no such thing as an r33 made in 1993 with dual airbags

There is such a thing as a 93 s1 with dual airbags, coz its sitting in my garage. The steering wheel (air bag) looks different to s2 and so does the passenger side air bag. They are also factory standard. Since your all so skeptical i've posted an image of my interior.

Actually I read recently on an options list for 93-95 GTSt's that passenger airbag was an option. The fact that Britto's is the only one anyone's ever seen just shows how much Japanese skyline drivers cared about their girlfriends ;)

Looking at that photo tho that looks very much like a series II dash, tho maybe they just used same (similar) dash in S1s which took second bag option?

A guy from Nissan confirmed that it was optioned up with the second airbag, and i guess it uses the similar design of the s2.

Mechanically Series 2 started at the beginning of 1995, though many will claim it was 1996. This is true if you judge a vehicle by cosmetics. 1995 saw the introduction of the updated ECU and ignition system. I’m not sure about an updated turbo though.

another one everybodies missed is the headlights on a s1 are headlights inside a plastic cover where the s2 are a bulb and lens behind cover.

is it worth buying the s2 then.... i got my s1 for 15800 completely stock from an importer.. its 93 model.... i figured if i was going to do it up then why bother with the s2 if ill be changing the goodies anyway.... just my oppinion though.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
