quick update, front & rear lamps for UK model are unique part numbers. The UK also had a different ECU with a 155 speed limit and slightly modified ignition map. Everything else does seem to be series 3, abs unit etc.
 
Why take out the rear lamps and change them for early ones and fit an extra fog lamp?
Why take out the Xenons and replace them with inferior halogens?
The Xenons aren't E-Marked and therefore weren't legal on production models - same for the R34.
With the rears, as far as I am aware, there is a minimum distance that a fog lamp can be from the brake/side light (in mm) and the nissan integral fog is just under that distance.


Anyone give me a uk vin number, I can try and find a production date from that. PM me if you don't want the world to know it.
All UK cars were built in 1997, ones like mine registered in 1999 were still built in 1997. Same as all the UK R34's were built in 1999.

All UK R33's vin numbers start: JN1GAPR33U00000** where ** is 00 to 99
 
there is a book called "I love R33 GTR" which details all the models in detail and official options like 400R ducts! GTROC is trying to import some

My R33 is a mix of bits, 95 chassis but registered in 98! it has twin airbags and later spitter etc, it was a Japanese showroom car then it came to the UK with middlehurst involved but not a official import...

there is 5 MP like this i've seen

MP is rare in Japan as most are in the UK!

Robbie - i need one of them books ;) , your R33,was it first registered in the UK or Japan in 98? Seems strange to have those mix of bits,but then again,if it's a showroom car then i guess Nissan could have added those bits to the car for those 3 year's while they kept it in their showroom?

and more info coming out,that's great!
 
Emil,
Mine's still up for grab if you interested :D lol
