Hey guys been a member for a while but haven't really used the forums till now. i have owned and been into skylines for just over a year and a half. my first skyline was a series 1 GTS25T 4 door 33 running 0.98bar. my current skyline is a series 1.5 GTS25T 2 door 33 which is currently having the engine refreshed.

i don't know a whole lot about mechanics but i have a thirst for any and all knowledge about skylines and skyline engines from 57 to infinity. Very interested in 26/30 hybrids,twin turbos and stroker kits. i have decided to start using this forum because i have reached the limits of skyline knowledge outside skyline specific forums.

im here to learn and im here to share :)

ill end this with a random question:what is the model name given to R33s with an RB20E apart from GTS or Type "*"?

most of them were just a GTS (where as the rb25 powered ones were GTS25) but there apparently was a version called the GTS type G (there was also a GTS25 type G) which was one of the auto sedan versions, as well as typs S (sedan auto and coupe auto and manual) and a type X (auto sedan). the type G/S/X were simply different trim options, such as the type G having a leather steering wheel.

The answer i was looking for was "Urban runner" or "Urban runner S" :D

that only applies to the series 1.5 (1995) version, not the earlier or later ones

Nice. :)

Still a name used for a 33 with RB20E none the less.

When you say series 1.5 for the urban runners,do you mean only 95 model 1.5s were named urban runner/s or were you saying R33 series 1.5 as a whole was only made in 95?

both. series 1.5 was only made in 95. they were sort of a bridging model with bits from both s1 and s2 (generally s2 motor and rear wing with s1 body and interior), and the series 1.5 was the only series to have an urban runner as one model, but then my info may possibly be wrong but it is generally reliable.

My current 33 is S1.5 and im quite certain it has series 2 interior. also a friend had an automatic 4 door S1.5 that had a build date of December 1996. An interesting thing i noted was that it was a GTS25T with a model of E-ER33 and not E-ECR33.it wasn't a conversion because the engine was on the build plate also.

all the series 1.5's that i've been in had s1 interiors. i know a few have had the s2 interior put in them, and it may be that if it is a very late model s1.5 then it may have the s2 interior. or it could be that your car is actually an early 96 model. might be worth running the vin through nissan fast to see what it says. my compliance plate was slightly different to what fast said (only a few months different)

    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
