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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
