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"

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)
