Hey people! 

I've recently bought this 1996 series 2 R33 GTST sedan. 

When the guy was selling it, he advertised it as 'm-spec' 

A bit of study & I've realised there is no such thing. Rather 'M model' 

But the body kit I have on my car still doesn't match up when I search online for it. Any info on what particular model I have (If any) would be appreciated. 

I bought it for $9700, 111xxxkm, manual, complete stock, zero rust etc..  very well kept. 

Thanks for reading!

As per the link, all R33 GTS25t are Type M. There was only a difference in R32 GTSt models.

Front bar looks like standard series 1 with foglights to me (in good conition BTW) but I'm not a bodykit trainspotter. BTW not factory dash, so unlikely to be correct KLM.

Plus, I like the stagea better anyway :)

Thanks for that info! I did find my exact model through the link posted above. It was just the front end that didn't make sense to me. But thanks to Duncan, I think I know whats going on. 

 

As for the dash, I'm pretty sure its some shitty cheap sticker over the top. Looks very tacky, not lined up properly to the needle holder thing. The engine & condition reflect on the kms.. all original hoses, air filter, hose clamps. All had original paint dots on the hoses/clamps still. Can never be 100% certain these days though . 

As for the stagea,  shes been defected ?

I also have a factory manual R33 Series II sedan in KR4 Silver - welcome to the sedan club.

The front and rear bars and the rear wing are standard for that model as are the fog lights/indicators.

As a Series II it will also have front turning lights that come on when the headlights are on and you use the indicators. The other challenge is that because it has Series II headlights it has a unique radiator support panel that is different to every other R33.

You are also right about the stickers over the factory gauges.

Thanks Victory! Never thought I'd be a fan of the R33 sedans, but this model just looks a lot nicer & sharp..? Opposed to the other 33 sedans anyway. 

As for the gauges, I'd like to get them back to normal. Hoping thats a thing that can be done anyway. Otherwise someone local is selling a manual cluster with only 4000kms more than my own

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
