LOL, you hook up a shift light to the ECU while forgetting to turn the ignition off and forget to unplug the ECU from the harness !!

Not a good thing... You hear crackle crackle pop...... then the smell of smoke.

And like my electronics teacher told me years ago, transistors are made out of smoke, cause once you let the smoke out they don't work anymore :P

The series 2 boot latch doova's are made from a machined alloy of some sort, instead of having the clear plastic epoxy over them.

sweet.. the only thing i'm confused about is when i bought the car the dude gave me the comliance sheet showing everything that was done when it origianlly came and it said that it was built early-mid 1994

i was a bit cranky as the point of sale was that it was a 1995 car but he said its a 95 model just built in 94

didn't the s1 come with an airbag too?

i have one i just didnt think that it was only available in the 1.5 and then the dual in s2

How can anyone forget the sexy sexy series 1 velour interior in the series 1.5? :) I often thought that if I bought a series 2 R33, I would track down a series 1 interior to put in!

Jay, you should have used frying your ECU as an excuse to get a Powerfc :)

I think the later series 1's has the silver badge with the open grille rather than red s with slat grille. Mine has the former, there was a time I thought it was an aftermarket grille but now I think it was just the later series 1's.

Series 2 has the badge on the bonnet instead of grille.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
