it's simple. series 3 is the best, then series 2, then series 1. and that's how they sit in order of price with series 3 costing the most down to series 1. as for the differences there is not much. S3 has xenon lights, nicer wheel, slightly different front bumper (well lip), some other small detail changes.

Series 3 is the best as it has the best interior,best steering wheel,dual airbags, best headlights (xenon), deeper more aggressive front lip (i read it somewere that it also has front brake ducts, hence the different front lip compared to series 1 and 2, dont quote me on that), apparantly it uses a better gearbox than the series 1 and 2 and should be in better conditon than the rest due to its age.

Series 2 is 2nd, has the same interior as series 3 but different colour seat inserts and door trim, uses the same steering wheels as series 3, dual airbags (i think),uses same gearbox as series 1, should be in better conditon compared to an older series 1.

Series 1 is the "worst" of the 3, it has an ugly flat looking dash panel, ugly steering wheel, only has one airbag, uses the same headlights as series 2, could possibly be in worse condition than the rest due to its age (but older = cheaper usually) the series 1 is basically an older version of the series 2.

Series 3 wins hands down for me, they look much more aggresive from the front than the series 1 and 2, but they are all great cars!!

Yup - have deeper front lip and front brake ducts - cause they all got in the way of my oil cooler install. Damn but I needed all that practice pulling them on and off for the fun of it.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
