I know there were a few Series 1 released with the NEO, but i didn't think there was a series 1 with the series 2 interior released. it looks like they updated the interior, perhaps it was one of the last of the series 1, and the dealer updated the interior to sell it easier once the series 2 came on the market? I wonder if the tiptronic works, as it still has the non-neo RB25, which i would assume had the same transmission as the series 1

" I posted this in an earlier post

"The earliest S2 I can find in FAST is WGNC-120001 which was Aug 1998, so August appears to be the changover. The last S1 found is WGNC34-111092 Jul-98"

this one is WGNC34-111050, one of the last S1s.

Some of the photos of the interior dont match, black dials in one (s1), white in other(s2), so he's just used some incorrect photos.

Very unusual, the picture of the rear seats shows an s1 interior for both the front and back, and the other shot of the interior shows s2 interior trim on the front seats and a tiptronic box.

Maybe they stuffed the photos up when posting, but I'd be sure to check that out in the flesh just to be safe.

I would have to agree with most of the comments on here so far. A lot of the pics don't add up. my best bet is to go down and have a look at it in reality. I brought my car from ebay. It best to go out have a look and ask the seller questions face to face

dealer has a series 2 for sale as well, you can see the tail end of it in one of the photos. The interior cloth patterns are different.

Save yourself the confusion and buy my car :whistling:

1997 Series 1 with mods .. more power than series 2 (155kw at the wheels)

$12,900 with series 2 tail lights and leather interior, best of both worlds.

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
