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

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
