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.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
