turbo [from R33 GTST] [from R34 GTT]

intercooler [from R33 GTST] [from R34 GTT]

Rear steering, [none], [HICAS]

Front seats - different

front and rear light configuration - different

dash gauges [no torque split etc], [torque split, voltage, oil temp]

Transmission [4spd Auto (E-AT)], [5spd manual (MT) or Tiptronic 4 speed (M-AT)]

is it true that the 34GTT turbos are steel-wheeled? any bigger? I've always wondered. . .

[AMS]

The R34GTT turbo is around 15 rwkw better (260 rwkw versus 275 rwkw) due to its larger turbine cover. The rest is pretty much the same, except the R34GTT turbo has a plastic compressor wheel and the R33GTST has a steel compressor. Not that that is much of problem, the ceramic turbines fail a long time before the plastic compressor becomes and issue.

Thats what Sk had to say in another thread, dont know whether that answered your question or not

Are there differences in the VIN numbers between an S1 and an S2?

I have also seen a couple of Series 2 with a double din height LCD Display for SatNav and climate control... it looks pretty sweet.

There is in the model code - series 1's were E-W* where series 2's where GF-W* ie see http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/nissan/stagea/.

Of course, the SHOULD have called the series 1's W*33, and the series 2 W*34, given the fact there isn't anything in a series one that came from a 34!

Its interesting that its

WGC"c34" which C34 is a laurel.

Looking on yahoo jp, lots of the interior parts on the laurel are VERY VERY similar to stagea, specially the centre console box/door trims

[Terminal]

Stagea is the WGNC34 (awd turbo), laurel is the EGNC34 (awd N/A) or EGC34(2wd turbo)

All skylines, stageas and i think maximas are based on the laurel platform i think you'll find, so that's why they are very similar and have the same wheelbase/chassis

[AlexCim]

i new about all the acronyms, didint know about the laurel platorm!

I want pillarless stagea dammit!
