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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
