Thanks Guys! Are there any differences between Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3?

Thanks

You should be able to find out more through the Skyline-specific area of the forum to get a better answer, but basically as follows, the S3 is the most different

Series 1:

  • Single airbag (I think dual was an option)
  • Grey interior trim with blue detailing
  • Slightly rounded-shape four-spoke steering wheel
  • Flat dashboard

Series 2:

  • Dual airbag
  • Grey interior trim with blue detailing
  • Flatter four-spoke steering wheel
  • Raised dashboard finish
  • Slightly recessed rear "SKYLINE" plastic garnish between the reversing lights

Series 3:

  • As for Series 2, PLUS
  • Grey interior trim with RED detailing
  • Upgraded ABS computer
  • Xenon headlamps and different design headlamp cluster
  • Deeper chin spoiler
  • Rear fog light (replaces one of the reverse lights)

All three were available as regular GT-R or GT-R V-Spec and power output is meant to be identical between them.

Yeah, got that from Andy Butler's GT-R book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1844251055/ref=s9_qpick_c2_t2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=158YWH5XSZ87VVHDFS3V&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938131&pf_rd_i=507846) I think.

Don't think I knew about the synchros...

You learn something new every day eh :(

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
