this post is to those who know their stuff about R33 Skyline GTS-Ts.

i have posted this thread on fastfours forum and come up with some-what useless replies.

i am looking to buy one...in manual form of course! but i dont know what the differences are in the many variations this car comes in.

i am looking to buy a 94 or 95 model.

does anybody know if there are any differences between them?

and also...what are the differences that lie in the model names of HR33, ECR33, EC33 etc...

so which one would be the best to buy?

the reason i post this thread is because there is only a major visual difference between the 93' as compared to the 94' and 95'.

by this i mean...93' has non-clear headlights, different front-bar, etc.

whereas the 94' onwards has clear headlights, meatier front-bar etc

and then theres the 96' which has the grill, front bar, headlight changes etc.

but with the 94' and 95', there does not seem to be a difference? is that right?

thanks for any helpers

series 1 vs 2 R33

specs

more specs

93-94 is a series one

95 is a series 1.5 (blending of 1 and 2, bit tongue in cheek really a series 1)

96-98 is a series 2

I dont think this is a hard and fast rule though. IE some 94's seem to be like series 1.5's, some 95's seem to be series 2's.

Someone else will have to do the ECR, HCR thing cos I'm not sure.

Thanks for dropping by this forum. I told you they were dickheads that were replying on the FF&R forum. :)

Glad you made it. There's some good info around as well as our own share of dickheads. Have fun.

thanks everyone for replying...

oh cheers 2rismo for giving me link here..

ppl here definitely know more

cheers zymotic for the series info.

it seems like there are a lot of skylines out there that mix-n-match the parts from different series GTSt's.

but regarding that "difference between series 1 and series 2" link u gave me..that was sorta useless...96' onwards GTSts are way out of my price range

i am more needing to know differences between series 1 and 1.5 i guess.

are the differences only visual ones that are obvious to me already?

Use teh search :)

series 1.5

Differences I have noticed, mine is a series 1.5 apparently.

Rear spoiler is series 2 not 1.

Interior is series 1 (which is great cos i dont like the el cheapo mexican

series 2 interior - lol watch me get :flamed: by the series 2 owners for that.

etc.

and also...what are the differences that lie in the model names of HR33, ECR33, EC33 etc...  

My turn :)

E(1)-E(2)C(3)4R33

1. Exhaust emission standards identification

E: 53 year regulation conformity

2. Model and engine type

H: RB20det type

B: RB26dett type

E: RB25det type

3. Controlling device

Non sign: Front 2 wheel steering

C: 4 wheel steering

4. Drive system

Non sign: Rear wheel drive

N: 4 wheel drive

Its just a way that Nissan names the Engine/Steering/Driving System

The way the R33 GTR letters mean this.

E - Exhaust emission standards identification, 53 year regulation conformity

-

B - RB26DETT

C - 4 Wheel Steer

N - 4WD

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
