'M-spec' is the 'luxury' version 34 GTR's. There's no such thing as an 'm-spec' 33. It's called 'type m'.

I'm not too sure about the 33 lights, but on the 32's the lights are very dull and 'shit'. Are your headlights dirty? Maybe give them a clean to let more light come out.

I think 33 headlights normally take H1 globes, but it would be best to wait till someone with a 33 come and confirm that for you. You could always take the globes out and check the globe for any markings. Should say what they are on the base of the globe.

type m or m-spec basically stands for luxury but i think you also get things like gtr brakes. atleast thats what was on my r32gtst type-m/m-spec anyways. not 100% on this but with the 33's i think the series 2 had better lights but im sure someone with a 33 can confirm.

im not sure myself about the type-m/m-spec thing but i do no that series 2 R33 have better lights then the series 1 R33's as my m8 has a series 1 and my series 2 headlights are clear and not yellow and foggy...ive changed my globes in my low and high beams and are both H1's any H1's will fit perfect...but im still trying to figure what screw does what for the low beam adjustment as i want my low beams a touch higher they only form a circle infront of my car about 3-4 metres infront...any help wit that 1 would b sweet!

Series 2 Head lights are not better, the reason they look better is because series 1 head lights have been around for a couple of years longer, so they are bound to be old and dirtier, and have that yellow foggy look.

Yeh, that yellow foggy look is shit. How do I get rid of it? Any ideas? I got rid of most the foggy stuff, but its still yellow. What can I do, other than replace them?

theres sooooooo many threads about this problem. anyway, theres many solutions to this, but the cheapest would be toothpaste, but like all other solutions, it will go back to yellow after awhile, so u just have to keep cleaning them from time to time.... OR get new headlights

dude when series 2's came out they redesigned the whole headlight again as they have a new bonnet to fit to. having designed a new lense to them aswell! still use the same globes but the lense's help a bit more as they are clearer

The only difference between S2 and S1 headlights apart from their size is that S1 headlights have a slightly opaque lenses in between the outer cover and the inner assembly whereas S2 headlights don't. The refraction/reflection plate is pretty much the same for both, so that's why S1 headlights seem to be a bit dimmer as it has an extra lense that blocks some of the light from filtering through

yeh i no that the lighting colour is different, but we are talking about the actual plastic piece on the headlight, i no they where redisigned, but they still havent been around longer so they are bound to have not discoloured yet. im sure that the series 1 headlights where clear when they first where sold.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
