I've got a page bookmarked at home that shows every single change between the years on the 34s. Personally I think the series 2 is damn ugly, but some ppl seem to like it. There's no gap for a FMIC on the stock s2 it, which kind of sucks. The interior is also a bit 2-tone as well (e.g. steering wheel is white and black). So to me, the series 2 is a backwards step (although the 363Nm torque is quite nice :D)

Anyway, I'll post up the site later tonight when I get home from work.

Just adding on to what Skyline_Boy posted...

The interior of the Series 2 has alot more silver painted parts... the center consle and on the steering wheel for example. Demon Dave will be able to tell us exactly what the differences are (if he has time :D).

OK, I found that site. There's sort of a series 1.5, but there's also sort of a series 2.5, so it looks like Nissan kind of change parts whenever they felt like it.

On this site, go to

- R34 4 door laboratories

then

- R34 4 door vehicle items of information

From there you can see all the differences over the years. It's about sedans as that's what I'm after. You might be able to find a similar site about coupes, but they're not really what I'm interested in, so I never looked for them.

I should also say that I don't think the series 2 is a totally backward step, it's just that they changed some fairly major things in my eyes for the worse. I may end up getting a series 2 one day, but I'd have to change a fair bit for me to like it.

One thing I did notice though is that Nissan got quite cheap towards the end and started deleting certain parts to save the odd yen here and there e.g. no seatbelt guides in the S2, no real middle rear seatbelt, saving the 2c on paint for the engine cover and cigarette lighter writing, no lock on the glove box etc.

    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
