I found a new one!! My series 2 had a little mis-fortune and needed a new Throttle position sensor. These are very different between the series 1 and 2 with the 2 having a pair of wiring loom entries and the series 1 only having a single wiring harness. It pays to check before ordering from Japan!!

Cool britto I think that ALSD was an expensive (and therefore uncommon) option on type-M's, lucky you :D

Are you absolutely sure it's got dual airbags?? Like above the glovebox it has a rectangular outline and says SRS Airbag?? Cos I've never heard of any R33 other than a full-blown SII that had 2 airbags.

As for the driving lights, I'm pretty sure Series 1s have them, just not the same type as Series II, SII driving lights are round.

Yeah its got dual airbags, previous owner bought it with all the safety extra's. And it says SRS airbag on the rectangle. Yeah i was real lucky. As for the driving lights, i was told that they dont work on s1 as they weren't hooked up. Not sure how reliable my source is though.

As for the front rectangular indicator/foglight, there are 2 different types in the Series 1.  Some have nothing in there and it is simply a white lense, whereas others have a foglamp there.

Make that 3 types, another option on series 1 was dual fog/driving lamps in the lower front 'type M' bar, in the area that is normally covered by black plastic mesh. Only ever seen 1 like this though.

Sure its just not a dash from a series 2? cuz there is no such thing as an r33 made in 1993 with dual airbags

There is such a thing as a 93 s1 with dual airbags, coz its sitting in my garage. The steering wheel (air bag) looks different to s2 and so does the passenger side air bag. They are also factory standard. Since your all so skeptical i've posted an image of my interior.

trust me mate...it has dual airbags...ive sat in this car many-a-times to know that there are definately two airbags.

Actually I read recently on an options list for 93-95 GTSt's that passenger airbag was an option. The fact that Britto's is the only one anyone's ever seen just shows how much Japanese skyline drivers cared about their girlfriends ;)

Looking at that photo tho that looks very much like a series II dash, tho maybe they just used same (similar) dash in S1s which took second bag option?

A guy from Nissan confirmed that it was optioned up with the second airbag, and i guess it uses the similar design of the s2.

Mechanically Series 2 started at the beginning of 1995, though many will claim it was 1996. This is true if you judge a vehicle by cosmetics. 1995 saw the introduction of the updated ECU and ignition system. I’m not sure about an updated turbo though.

is it worth buying the s2 then.... i got my s1 for 15800 completely stock from an importer.. its 93 model.... i figured if i was going to do it up then why bother with the s2 if ill be changing the goodies anyway.... just my oppinion though.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
