Hey boys n girls im going to be having a look a 95 model skyline which has the series 2 front bar and bonet.

My question is, is there a way to tell a series 1 from a series 2 other than just looking at the bumpers and bonets as in is there a plate or something which would have a different code for a series 1 to a series 2?

cheers

Hi,

without having the vin checked, you can usually tell the difference by things such as the interior trim of the seats are different from series 1 to series 2. The panel on the rear boot that says "skyline" is colour coded on the series 2. The rear spoiler is a little higher and squared off on the series 2. And my series 2 has driver and passenger airbags- however im not sure if this was standard or an option.. Hope this helps a little.

The series one has no airbags either, the series 1.5 has drivers side airbag and the series 2 has both driver and passenger airbags which ShylineR33 already pointed out. There's a heap more differences between them but if I want to know what series Skyline it is I just go straight for the airbags.

ok sweet well this guy reckons its got dual air bags, the upgraded ecu and the interior trim is different too but its still a late 95. How would it have all the bits and pieces of the series 2 but still be made in 95. i didnt even know there was a series 1.5. Is that just a series one with series 2 bits ?

so im now fairly confused lol

I wouldnt its easy to change dashs around and im pretty sure on the site ive seen a series 1 with a series 2 dash. The best way to check is put up the VIN number on the Fast thread and it will reveal all.

Series 1.5 had the series 2 motor series 2 wing Drivers airbag but everything else was series 1, Hence the reason why on this site people call them a 1.5.

Isn't the steering wheel for the Series 2 the same as the Type-X steering wheel? They look similar from memory.

Looks the same as most Nissan cars of that age, Late model S14, N15 series II and so on .

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
