'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.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
