I have noticed that there are not many of these 1.5 series R33's why is that is it because they were simply a car that was manufacatured for a very very brief time or is there something else that I have over looked as to why there is not many available

What's the difference between series 1-1.5 or 1.5-2???

I'm not too sure about the 1.5 series, but in another thread they mentioned all the differences between series 1 & 2, but my car has a few features of both, so maybe mine is a 1.5, otherwise it's a s1. Is there a way to tell easily or not???

Mine is a R33 GTS-T 1994 Model, I think it's a Series 1.5 as it has an Airbag, but no ABS yet, one of those Antenna erection buttons (which I'm sure didn't come in Series 1's) and only has half a body kit (Front Bumper only and colour coded Mud guards, but no side guards and only standard rear bumper)

I looked all over the car and engine bay, but couldn't find the Series No. of the car anywhere.

On the build plate it says 1994 but yet on the rego papers it claims 1995 ? still unsure as to the reasoning why this is my only guess is that it was made in 1994 but yet it was the 1995 model ....

Mine does have the nicer front bar and fog lights (just have to work out how to turn the foggers on) and the drivers air bag, the antenna up and down button ect

but thanks for that it was just a curiosity thing... had done a quick search but just wanted to know if it was like a limited edition ?

check the build date on the bottom of the seatbelt, where it connects to the floor.

Also, there was a chassis number list somewhere that detailed the chassis number and the build year.

Although mine was built in 95, it was a 96 delivered model, and a series 2.

I have a series 1.5 - its the last of the series 1 models so it has the beginnings of the S2 features but the so called "best" of the S1. As other people it said it has airbag, HICAS, series 2 rear wing etc Mine has the M-Spec front bar... which is a bit better looking than the standard S1 front bar.... I still like S2 ones's better though!

Its the same with most cars... the last model they make is usually the better one of the series.

Have a series 1 in the driveway and a series 2 next door, nearly identical cars too hahhaha

Sit in both seats, look at both seats... the series 1 seats are much nicer infact the series 2 owner is getting new seats as we speak no bull!

Guess its personal opinion as with everything else aswell

90 percent of R33s I have seen recently are Series 1.5.

There are variations, but really ONLY 1995 models can claim to be series 1.5

Even 1993 series ones came with optional Airbag, AND PASSENGER AIRBAG (it was a very expensive option and not common in 1993 cars hence you dont see many).

Series 2 had a fair few differences, most relevent to me are the suspension and turbo. The seires 2 suspension is much stiffer than Series 1 (as standard) and the turbo uses a Nylon front wheel (like a R34 GTT).

yeha starion turbo is right, only series 1.5 are '95 model nothing else, its because its the model thats in between the two models that had been made. I have a series 1 '94 model but it has abs brakes no passenger airbags tho, series 2 wing, however i dnt have that button for that antennae thingo that Don is talking about

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
