R34 - Year To Year Differences

[zzsprade]

I have not been able to find a resource or thread that briefly describes what small things were changed/improved from year to year for the R34.

Now this is on a presumption that things were changed from year to year. As an example a slight body tweak or something that was an option one year became standard.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I may find this information?

Cheers!

i know they came out with 2 series.

series one is 98/99 and series 2 is 2000/2001? someone correct me if im wrong, not sure of any differences other than the front bar

from S1 to S2, there were minor aesthetic changes to the interior trim eg: silver bit on steering wheel and gear knob, different color cluster lights and if u are one of the unlucky ones...u get the fugly S2 front bar which makes it look like a BA falcon with no room for a FMIC. S2 also comes with just slightly more torque from memory an extra 10nm.

Learning something new. Thank you guys!

I am still amazed though that there could not be more variation between years, or is it a Japanese trend in manufacturing to have a longer period between revisions/minor tweaks?

Anything more?

its not like a commodore

where they have year to year differences always trying to fix faults from the previous year

and every 3 years there is a series II

S2 stock wheels are also in a different color...gunmetal greyish similar to the 34 GTRs, S2 NEO engine cover, the turbo letters are not painted red, interior trim in the S2s are also slightly different, some argue are of lower quality...

S2 front bar:

started reading this thread and thought 'bugger ive paid too much and got a s1' but lookin at the differences (namely the front bar) im soo glad i dont have a s2. it looks like they stole the front bar from a soarer or something.

ive been looking at r34 sedans and must say the series 2 front bar looks similar to a BA falcon
