Rb25det Series 1/1.5/2 Question

Okay, I have a Nissan Skyline R33 GTST. It is supposedly a series 1 car. The exterior of the car and the engine of the car is basically all series 2 that I can tell. When I look at the car it has the series 2 bumper and the series 2 lights. It has the series 1 interior though, and I thought it had a series 1 motor but it doesn't have an Ignition Amplifier. I am really confused. The car HAS NOT been taken apart or modified because I got it straight imported from a one owner in Japan (I live in the USA). The car is a series 1 year, 1994 or 1995 I am really not too sure of the year (maybe you can help me find that out as well). I just wonder what this is. I was told that there were, in rare occasions, a series 1.5 with BOTH series 1 and series 2 things on them. Was I told correct? Can I get an explination if it is true? What's different?

Thanks in advance,

Austin

Do you have dual Airbags?? or one or none? - that at least tell us whether or not a series 2 front has been installed after it came from the factory.

Post up your VIN to please mate - that will give the most accurate indication for you. Possibly a very late 95' model - very, very rare though.

But why on Earth would it have a series 2 engine... it has English on the Coil Pack Harness. Meaning it has been changed at one point. Is there a way for me to somehow check the engine and other components? I mean, I don't really understand this car at all. The ingition amplifier isn't there and the car runs, what the hell kind of shit is that?

Well, I look around the car and it isnt JUST the front or JUST the motor. It is a bit of everything. Series 1 and series 2 shit just strown all over the car. The series 1 interior and air bags, the series 2 front bumper and headlights, the series 2 bonnet, the series 2 engine, the series 1 boot stuff, the series 2 mats? I mean... It is like it came out of the factory with parts they just had laying around, but I know for a fact it hasn't been converted... POSSIBLY an engine swap, but I think I would be able to tell about the whole front clip changing. Am I right?

Is there a way to tell what year it was made? Some sort of number? I am a little new to this scene anyways.

When someone with the nissan fast software comes on and fast's your vin number all will be revealed

Never heard of it.

After some research, I am now downloading it.

Should have it by tomorrow if all goes well.

It is a late series 1 and someone's fitted a series 2 bumper for what ever reason, crash, aesthetics etc.

Both series 1 & 2 have a coil pack for each spark plug, it's just that the early series 1 have an external igniter, where as late S1&2 have the igniter built into the ecu.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
