Problems with 1995 gtst

[MISTIQUE]

Can anyone tell me if there are any known common problems experienced with skylines from 1995?

[|PRESA|]

I've got a '95 R33 GTS-T and there isn't much I could complain about.

Except the way it drinks up fuel but thats to be expected especially the way the stock ecu tends to run a little rich.

Are you looking at buying one or something?

[MISTIQUE]

yeh i am planning to buy one soon and i am looking forward 2it!!

Hehe,

I got a 95 R33 GTST, its sitting pretty in the compliance shop at the moment i'll have it by monday.

thats alright, ill take that on the chin.

but there is a big difference between expensive and overpriced.

on topic, get a series 2.

[predator]

name one reason a series2 is actually *faster* than a series1 for the extra $5k?

[krzysiu]

no one said it was faster :| go to the thread in the Tutorial section and you will find the Thread about differences between the Series 1 and 2 r33's. Worth a read.

Well said aybee.

So apart from obvious cosmetic difference between the series 1 and 2 (body kit, interior, ECU) was there any faults with the series I over the series II?

The car MISTIQUE is in fact enquiring about is (apparently) a 1995 series 1.5.

So is it worth while spending a little more and looking around for a series II, or are they much the same?

Cheers.

Ok the only problem i can say with every R33 is water getting in the rear lights I cant get it out

Hey K, yeah,

I had the same problem with my 95T with water in the rear right lamp. ended up just pulling the thing completely off the car, re-sealing it with non-acidic silicon (can be cut-out in you next accident), then re-applying while semi dry. Also, running a small bead of silicon around the upper seal (while the lamps is installed) also completely keeps water out. (don't worry about using silicon, as it does less damage to your car than allowing water to 'come in and stay). I bet that on warmer days, the water 'condenses' and appears on your rear windscreen???????

It eventually kills everything in your boot!!!

As for series2 Sklines'....I much prefer the very last series 1's. Their front bumper looks more aggressive (as opposed to the odd looking round indicators of s2). The last S1 has most of the s2 stuff, just cheaper and better looking front...mmmmmm...very subjective thought :Oops: !!!

Anyways.......

The main "fault" with the series 1 was the ECU, which tends to run way too rich when upping the boost. You can easily fix this with an S-AFC, and bring it up to the same power levels as the later ECU. The 95 series 1.5 uses the updated ECU and so doesn't have this problem.

The only other minor fault I can think of is the dash surround and door handle surround is coated in this thin rubber type stuff, which tends to peel fairly easily. This was fixed with the series 2 (not 1.5). But that's really minor.

These cars aren't like Commodores and Falcons which get released with a whole BUNCH of problems, and then they fix half of them with the series 2, and then change models and start off with a whole new bigger batch of problems. This is the reason why I think the VS series 2 Commodore is a less buggy car than a VT series 1.

Thx for that, its my Rear Right one too

Fuel consumption will feel bad especially when you jumped from a previous 4-cyl common shopping carts. Heck even my bro complaint about fuel consumption after he replaced his 95 Civic sedan with the new Accord Euro - and his 4-cyl Accord Euro consumption is still LESS than my car!

[lwells]

rs73: fuel consumption is very subjective not least because almost everyone has differently modded cars.

Stuff this S1 or S2 stuff, just look for a good example (unless the looks of one or the other particularly appeal to you).

thats ironic, cause pretty much the only reason i dont like the S1 is cause of the front bar. i think its even got to the stage where i see a stock S1 and cringe at the sight of its front end.

as for the wings, i dont really mind the S1 wing cause its more subtle.
