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 stand

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

Only the very late Skyline Series 2 models had the CAS (crank angle sensor) of the next to come R34.

(identified by the black back plastic cover)

These CAS only matched the slotted camshafts, which were different from Series 1 and early Series 2 (mid 1997 or so)

So early Series 2 and Series 1 should have the same camshaft ....

Yes I have the black CAS on my 40th anniversary.

I'm assuming this means that these late S2's must have the cams from the NEO engine then....or at least on the 'zaust side. Are they the same profile? I assume so but don't know?

The 40th anniversary edition also has special badges on the outer B pillar and badges on the seats.

I've also heard that Kozo Watanabe himself cast the special badges from the melted down samurai swords of ancient samurai warriors, and that each car was blessed by a Shinto Priest as it left the production line?

Hmmm ... dunno ..

Do the Neo cams plug into the RB25DET head?

The Neo has solid lifters though ..

It would mean that Nissan would have had to machine a special 'zaust cam for the S2 GTST to accept the black (Neo) CAS.

Why the hell do that when they could just have used the normal CAS on the normal cam?

I've never opened the head yet, it might have neo lifters for all I know. Not many cars had the black CAS.

Only if ancient Samurai warriors used plastic swords lol.

Not too sure on this one but it must have been an option. I have an S1 dash out of a 94 model and looking at the back it has all the mounting points and the outline for where the passenger airbag goes.

Gold badges were a tick the box option. All badges could be optioned in gold separately. Bonnet badges, boot badges, GT badges, Navan badges etc.

I've forgotten a lot of my r33 info over the years but I do know that the series 2 compressor is ceramic as opposed to metal. I think the sizes are the same though.

i thought the s2 ran a ceramic turbine and a high temp nylon compressor wheel. S1 is alloy.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
