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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
