'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 seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
