here are the rough numbers from FAST...

ECR33 - 001000 1993 August (First R33 Built)

ECR33 - 063435 1995 December (S1.5 around here somewhere - ballpark near ECR33 mid 055000)

- model change-

ECR33 - 102000 1996 January

ECR33 - 135381 1998 April (Last R33 built)

so from this we can see ballpark there are around 65,000 Series 1's and approx 35,000 series 2's

SO I HAVE A SERIES 1.5???

whats the big issue?

i swear a few people have said yes its a series 1.5 - its a series 1.5

to be a legit series 2 i would expect

- series 2 interior

- series 2 dash cluster (bevelled warning lights, s1 has flat dash lights)

- series 2 dash (bubbled and textured, s1 has flat matt black)

- series 2 wing

- series 2 engine and front bar, lights, bonnett

- 1996 VIN or build date, anything pre 1996 is almost always 1.5 or 1

- series 2 boot SKYLINE panel is same colour as car (s1 has clear panel)

- series 2 boot SKYLINE panel is same colour as car (s1 has clear panel)

- a silver rear trunk lock badge

- dual airbags

- no coin holder near the mirror controls

Added 3 more changes to paulr33's list.

The most obvious change is that series 2 has dual airbags. Series 1.5 only driver side airbag and series 1 no airbag whatsoever. No matter how you see it, the airbag is the one thing no one can change hence it you only have what you have then you know what series skyline you have.

You can have a series 1 with series 2 bumper, fog lights, engine and whatever, if you ain't got dual airbags then you ain't got a series 2. Same goes for the other two series. Basically i like the series 1.5 cause it doesn't have the damn heavy passenger airbag and the external ABS module at the center console. Damn module makes the pocket smaller.

I have a series 2 skyline and i changed the boot skyline to a clear one and my trunk lock is not the series 2 one as well so i have a series 2 front end and a series 1 rear end. Even the agent here says why the f**k do i have such a weird skyline. lol

- series 2 & 4 doors

- series 2 with active lsd

- series 2 with 40th anniversary

- series 1 & 2 GTS4

Yes, tons and tons and tons of right handed R33's Patty.

Lol, I think you are talking about the R33 Left Hand drives... and no, they were not made for the USA, they were put in the left hand drive cities in some other parts of the world. They never have released and never will release a "Skyline" in the USA. The closest we get is the G35, the V35 in Skyline Countries, the G37, the V35 370GT in other countries, and the new "GTR" which is technically a Skyline BUT no "Skyline" badges.

So no, the USA never got any and seemingly never will get any. But I have one in the USA so all is 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.

the igniter is actually built into the coil pack not the ecu.

A series 1 or even a remapped RB20 ecu will run a Series 2 motor no worries.

Right, and I have already pretty much rounded the car down to BEING a 1.5 as well has everyone else. It is series 1.5 which is grand! The coil pack has igniters, no external amplifier.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
