thanks moley,wasn't sure with the UK car's,as i've seen a number of them,and none so far have had the OEM Xenon's fitted,and of course,they have the UK indicator's on the front

All UK R33's are Series 3 GT-R V-Specs.

None came as standard with Xenons as they aren't e-marked, although like mine some owners 'upgraded'.
The rear lights were also changed for units without the fog lamps as there was a separate fog built into the rear bumper. The front indicators also had a sidelight alongside them.
All came with the additional nismo oil coolers, front and rear.
The interiors are all series 3 apart from the optional Connolley Leather upgrades.
Rear wiper too.

I've still got all the literature which came with my car when I bought it new :nervous:

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
