Hey guys,

Got a silver R33 Series 2 GTST over the weekend after seeing a couple of the over the past few weeks, plenty of nicely priced skylines online at the moment.

I prefered the Series 2 due to the updated body and airbags. It's only got 79,000kms which I was a bit weary of but it looks legit, interior and seats and in great condition.

Running stock boost, only mods are adjustable BOV and Apexi CAI. Stock rims and height.

Thinking of mods but want to save money at the moment.

Hoping to meet you guys on the next Sydney cruise.

Cheers,

Rob.

series 1, 1.5 and 2 all run the same engine and body but they have a few minor differences. some of the plugs are different on the engine and the s1.5 and s2 have a nylon compressor wheel on the turbo instead of the steel wheel on the s1. they all still have the ceramic exhaust wheel which is the weak spot. the coil packs used on the s1.5 and s2 also have the ignitor built into them while the s1 has an external ignitor like the r32 does. body wise the s1.5 has the same panels as the s1 but has the s2 wing. the s2 runs different headlights, bonnet and front guards as well as different front bar and the skyline rear garnish is colour coded instead of being clear (but you will see many s1's and s1.5's with them painted to look like a s2). interior wise the s2 has a slightly different dash surround, different trim (on seats and doors) and different steering wheel.

that is most of the differences.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
