Yep increase in torque, also..

Viscous to Helical LSD

Different front bar

Two tone colour steering wheel and gear knob

Aluminum pedals

Darker rims (more GTR colour)

And i think that's about, altho i always forget something when i list the differences :D

cheers.

The Series II’s also have a different turbo, Garret with metal compressor and steel turbine. Boost is set at about 900kpa and I believe the ECU is different as well.

Instruments have silver faces that light up orange, oil press and boost read in kpa vice kg/cm.

Center console is painted a bronze color and has the same radio options as the later GT-R. Shift boot is different and the shifter has about 10% shorter throws.

A good upgrade for Series I GT-t’s is to put a Series II shifter in as it is almost identical to the NISMO one and costs less.

Also the cover for the three gauges in the center has a better finish on it, more like the rest of the dash as does the center vent assy with the hazard button.

The power mirror controls are different as well. And the glove box does not lock.

ummmm

isn't 900kpa like 9bar?? that isn't right,,

on mine , car boosts up till 0.75-0.8 bar approx (10-11psi) (car is stock standard),,

also found out i "used" to have fog lights!!!! but they were removed because a c-west front bar was fitted in japan,!!! doh!!!!

also!!! there was a factory option of "cup holders" at the rear of the center console!! under the ash tray,,,

i don't have an ash tray or cup holders,,, just a plastic cover,, for both... hehe,,,

is ur engine bay bayside blue or is it a really dark navy blue (almost black)??, mine is painted the dark colour, ( so is demon dave's r34) ,, i can't see y nissan didn't just paint the engine bay blue,,,

still,,,,,,, Bayside Blue rules,, :D

Sorry about that I meant 90kPa .......extra zero in there.

My engine bay is dark blue/black. I think the 2001 cars got body-color engine bays.

Funny thing is all the white, yellow and red cars I have seen have body-color engine bays, but the silver and light colored cars had the light grey engine bays regardless of year.

ya its really annoying having the dark coloured engine bay,, you wouldn't believe how many times i've had to say "the car was NOT black before!, the engine bay is Meant to be black!"

lots of people think that the car has been re-sprayed blue....

have u compared ur car against a series I?? is there any difference in performance? (acceleration/power etc etc)?

Not many R34 GT-t's (only 3 I think) on Okinawa so I have not had a chance to "compare" mine against any others.

hey eharrald

can u confirm that the series II r34 has the metal compressor wheel??

is there a way of telling from the outside of the turbo???

do you know if there is a different clutch kit used from the series I??,,, since there is more torque in the series II (i know 20Nm isn't much,, but still u never know),,

i need to change my clutch and need to confirm,,,

thanks

Hey Afro.

If you wanted to be certain your turbo had the metal compressor wheel you could do 1 of 2 things.

1. Take out the turbo and physically have a look or

2. Pull of the heat shields and look for the stamp on the turbo. If it says Garrett then it is metal wheel, if it says Nissan then it is nylon.

As for clutch, I'm not too certain as I have the tiptronic box.

oh ya just remembered,,

the series II instrument cluster ,, i.e speedo, tacho, the 3 guages etc all light up an amber/orange colour,, where as the series I lights up white,,

the A/C display still lights ups white on mine

were the sedans given all factory options (like a Holden calais equivalant)? i notice alot of people asking wheather or not they have a S1 or S2, did nissan actually call them S1 and S2 or is it just factory options? Also, why are there alot of variations of the skylines. ie: the 1998 r34 GTT sedan i have has 'skyline' in individual letters across the middle part of the boot where as some had skyline intergrated into the lower bumper. Another thing is that the sedans only GT shields on the front fenders, some have a GT-T badge on the back boot - below the right light. The interior instrument cluster and optional 3 gauge pod has amber lights (from what people are saying, its S2 that had them that colour but 1998 is an early r34 year so when did S2 skylines start to come out?), the rear seats have there drink holders and ashtrays and the driver/passenger have there own drinkholders. Does the vehicle ID plate state if its S1 or S2?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
