Variation's in R33 GTR Series?

From my understanding,

Series 1 R33 GTR's are from 1995-1996,and have no passenger airbag,and a big bulky steering that has an airbag.

Series 2 are from 1996 to 1998,and has a passenger airbag added,and different ecu (OBD?),everything else remain's the same? Some newer model's have the newer/nicer looking steering wheel,that is fitted onto Series 3 car's,and also Spe 2 R33 GTS/GTS-T's?

Series 3's area from 1997 onwards,and majority have Xenon's (seen a few without from what i can see is a Series 3),and have red stitching and insert's on interior,with passenger airbag,along with the different steering wheel. Also has a deeper front splitter along with the hole on the passenger side light for an oil cooler? Which isn't fitted on all models?

V-Spec's were on all series model's aswell?
What series would the UK R33 GTR model's be then? They have the series 3 interior on most,with steering wheel and airbag?
How about the N1 model's,also in the range of different series?

Thanks

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

thanks matt,knew most of that apart from the light question regarding UK R33's
well i nearly brought a Series 3 two month's back,and have seen a few other's on the internet,i'm going to be after a series 3 only when i'm back in the market,just wanting to know as much as i can really

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!
