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.

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
