March 1998 R33 S2 Or 3?

[Mano25det]

I have had my car for a few years now, Have been busy spending money on other things like girls and my place...

Now I have some spare cash i have Been interested in doing a few things to my car,

My plates state it was Built in March 1998 which when i look online like Wiki states its the Anniversary edition but its a GTS-T

also its front grill is so different i have not seen one like it before, i have no clear pics of it but here is one (It has a Red Skyline S in the middle)

I would love to find out more information on this car as no one seems to know, I read somewhere that there are such things are R33 Series 3 but are they only the GTR models? also someone mentioned it could be M-Spec as its exhaust is also a Nissan Cannon which came from stock here is another pic i have sorry I dont't have many right now as im at work but i will post more when i get home

Thanks ahead of time if anyone knows anything

I would love to know how many of these were made if thats even possible to know.

Series 2, there are no series 3 in GTST. Looks like a series 1 S badge in the grill though? Normally they are a chrome one on the bonnet.

You will find your motor has a black CAS like the R34s

ALso it has the Nissan Floor mats with the Metal badges all 5 of them

[NYTSKY]

Stock floor mats.

yeah it has got the black cas, so its just a standard 1998 R33S2? produced in March 1998 and the grill does not look like a job done by anyone it looks stock (its black and red S very detailed) just like the Cannon Nissan Exhaust that came stock

The grill is not stock I dont think, should have an S on the bonnet though. Im sure the exhaust is not stock either.

I'll take photos when im home close up. it states Nissan and ill show you the detail of the badge thats why im so confused with this.

As far as i could find when i researched mine, the 98 Anniversary model just had a few more factory body options over the rest.

GTR Style front bumper, GTR wing etc. Mine seemed to get the whole hog.

R34/SR20 CAS and i think they have an R34 cold start valve or something like that. And mine also had an extra VAC nipple on the plenum above the nipple for the FPR. Only seen that one one other 98 R33 S2 aswell. lol

This is the badge ill take the exhaust tonorrow

[Mano25det]

And thos is the exhaust

Sporty

Its a series 2 with a series 1 grill. My car came like this when it was imported (Probably had a knock at the front =[ ) 97 model.

For the exhaust I have no idea, mine just says Nissan and is dual tip =)

As far as I know is series 3 only came in GTR's as you said.

[Mano25det]

well that sucks lol ah well i like the grill a lot better than what i've seen any way but if yours is a series 2 whats with the skyline S on the bonnet also? isnt that a series 1 thing also?

i even have the original japanese log books and i don't know crap about my car

[Mano25det]

Ok so i did a bit more searching and found out its Not a series 1 grill. its a Series 2 Nismo Extra same as the other cosmetics are all the nismo extras
