[JET-33]

Trying to find out what exactly my car is...

Any1 know how to tell 4 sure...or some1 that would be able to tell 4 me...

i know some people say check this and check that but little things can be changed and i have to be 100% certain because i have to get a stock ecu for my car...

When was it built?

[JET-33]

95

ive been told its a s2, series 2 engine...

but im not 100%

[inark]

no such thing as a series 2 in 1995 they were all series ones

[inark]

unless maybe there were a few released late in the year.

[JET-33]

thats what im gettin at narky boi...that unsureness....

sam told me its got a s2 engine...maybe they r the later part of the year...but i found out 2day that there r 8 fidderent ecu's for a manual r33 so i gotta be sure......

[inark]

if ur build date is early to mid 95 i KNOW its not a series 2. The engine or bits may have been replaced.

[JET-33]

u know who can tell?

i gotta find out asap so i can get one and get rid off my blitz...

[JAGR33]

Maybe get chassis or engine number and ring nissan, or do a search on the web???

[doxximus]

thats the back of ur car in the avatar? note the clear 'skyline' panel, s2 has a colour coded one and s1 has clear

[JET-33]

check this.....

[JET-33]

they actually go by chassis/build date

i gotta get the spec sheet from my mate who spoke to nissan

and also...things like that can be changed....i think the only sure way is to check build numbers etc...a colour coded panel means nothin for certainty...

post a photo of the engine bay from the firewall side and i'll tell you. but from the exterior its a series 1 defenitly.

My car which i sold a couple of weeks ago was a series II built in 95. but everything on it was series II engine headlights bumper, etc

[JET-33]

yeh c thats not def. enuff cos i have new headlights, new bodykit etc etc

photo from firewall side??? does that mean u want a shot from like the drivers seat without the bonnet on so to speak....

im gonan have to get the nissan fax matching part numbers to build dates i think....

[inark]

its a series one dude... probably just got a few updates in its life.

I have a '95 S1 body - headlights interior etc etc. The engine has no little box on top of the coil packs at the back of the engine, and i've been told that this is a series 2 motor? Go figure. As i understand there was alot of end-of-series 1 cars that got series 2 upgrades.

Anyone else have any ideas?

[skyline33]

no from the top of the engine toward the firewall. also get photos of your dash cluster, headlights, clock, interior, front grill .

does it have dual airbags??

get me these photos and i'll give you a defenit answer if its a series 1 or 2

[JET-33]

ok, that aside when i get actual proof (i dont care either way just wanna know)

any1 know where i should go lookin to get a proper working stock ecu?

[skyline33]

from the photo of your avatar the garnish between the rear headlights is a series 1 unless it lights up then it could be either

[JET-33]

wont bother with lighst as they have been changed at least twice....
