The 95 model only got driver's airbag and no passenger airbag, is this correct?

I think the AFM has a sticker on it with different colour between S1 & S2. Not sure which colour is which series... I was told the coil packs are also different.

S2 turbos are different, they spool up faster.

A lot of people say the s2 turbo is not as good as s1 tubo, due to a plastic compressor wheel, but unless you intend on increasing the boost more than 10-11psi, in which case s1 & 2 turbos would have limited life, series 2 probably less life, that the plastic wheel is better. Its there for faster spool up, therefore the engine is more responsive.

Even the r34 gtt has a 'nylon' wheel. As read in speed magazine(current). So i dont see why people bag the s2 turbo. Some people say it was for cost cutting, whereas it seems logical to me that it was an improvement, that nissan spent money on.

But yeah, between a s1 n 2, get what u think looks better(interior especially...i think the s2 dash is much nicer) if u have the $$. If not, get what is cheaper, they are very similar.

The series 2's are newer of course and easier to find with options on them like ABS and dual airbags. However the 95 model released just previous to them has the same options available.

The series 2 is a slower car than the 95 by all accounts due to the later ecu map being more environmentally friendly I guess. The quickest standard cars at the moment are all 95's I think, running standard turbo's and ecu's.

If I had to get another R33 I'd get the 95 again for sure.

So ur sayin if i saw a 95 ecu for sale sumwhere cheap, it would be a good upgrade (till i shell out sumtime in the future for a powerfc)?

never knew this whole 95 1.5 series business... learn something new every day...

I dont think skylines are rare..especially in sydney. Guess it depends what your definition of rare is....try last night, george street...must have seen at least 15-20 in 1.5 hours lol.

nah siksII, although there are a lot of skylines in George ST, beware that it isnt the same person, coz last time i saw this guy in a white Series 2 skyline near hungry jacks turning. Then afta that i saw him another 3 times in a 1 to 2 hr period..

some pplz jus like to do happy laps and have $$ to waste on petrol. Or it could i was wrong and he was looking for a parking spot for 2 hrs..lol who knowz?

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
