Ok, So for my first car I wanna get a Skyline R33, but Im a bit confused between models and the things I like on the models.

So I would like a Skyline with an intirior looking like this:2s197nm.jpg

(minus the custom gauges in the glovebox)

What model of skyline has this, and i heard that the dials/speedometer etc. comes in black too, is this right? Ive heard this is the Skyline R33 series 2 GTS-T...

Basically, I have ultimate confusion with the:

-R33

-R33 Series 2

-R33 Series 2 GTS-T

-R33 GTS-T

etc.

And what are the differences between them? Because most of them look the same...

Can someone please help me sort out this confusion?

Thankyou :)

What you have pictured is a R33 GTST series II interior, correct. All the dials are factory black, that one has an aftermarket white faced dash in it.

You have wrote it right there.

R33 is the model of the Skyline. In that model there were four options, the non turbo GTS, the turbo GTST (hence the T for turbo), the GTS4 (non turbo AWD) and the GTR (twin turbo AWD).

The series II is just the later year model, hence the reference to "series II".

It is fairly basic stuff that you can find on wikipedia or a quick google search or a search on these forums.

Since you are looking for a first car I'll assume you are a P plater and therefore you can not drive a turbo car so your options are a GTS or GTS4 in the R33 Skyline.

Yes, you are quite correct - I am unable to drive a turbo, so I would be looking at the non-turbo range.

Does the R33 GTS (non-turbo) Series II have that same interior or the one with no passerger airbag, different steering wheel, etc?

And how much would I be looking at for one in good condition?

Thanks :)

The 1996 model R33's (Series 2's) have a different front end - the headlights are clear and they indicators are mounted in a case in the front bar along with the fog-lights. The Series 2's front ends are much more square than the Ser 1-1.5's.....i personally think they look a lot better too,

The 1996 Series 2 also came with the steering wheel pictured above, ABS and the driver+passenger airbag.

If you are looking for a 1996+ R33 Skyline non-turbo, then the interior will be practically exactly the same minus the factory boost gauge on the dash. Look around on carsales.com.au. Going by the current price of $10K for a really plum R33 Series 2 turbo, then $6K should get you an un-molested R33 Series 2 non-turbo with low kays.

Just be careful of all the piece of shit R33's out there and take you time looking around before you buy.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
