Finally bought a skyline

[MrMeaner]

hi all, just joined, awsome site, how is everyone?

Ive FINALLY! bought a skyline (well ive signed for and the finance has been approved), ive been saving for sooo long and craping on about them for ages.

After work on friday nite i went down to the caryard with my $9000 deposit (cost $22500) to pick it up, but the idiot finance dude forgot to tell me i had to have paid 12 months proved insurance, which i had just paid for 6 months (Famous), o well itll be sorted, on monday, DAMMIT i want it NOW!

My mates tim and nigel bought around a skyline on friday to work, which a local car yard had just got in, so i checked it out and then pretty much bought it straight away, all signed, finance approved same day. Its absolutly awsome, i love it! Thanks Tim im sorry your wife jen wouldnt let you have it.

Skyline =

01/95 (compliance 01/03) R33 GTS-T Nissan Skyline (Series 2?) (RB25DET) 5 speed manual, HICAS 4 wheel steering (rare for model?), full body kit, central locking alarm connected to a turbo timer, its white, perfect body, interior is immaculate, darkish tint, real? nismo carbonfibre bits around the windows, it also has 18 INCH MAGS!!!!, all options, rear wiper, all electrics, climate control, CD + Stacker and its only done 55000kms (well on the clock neway) and also the best thing is the motor is UNTOUCHED everything is original (left for us to play with), except an added GFB BOV, its even still got the STOCK exhaust and air filter assembly + stock suspension, so its hopefully unlikely to be a drift/drag car from jap land, we had it up on the hoist at work and there is NO visible damage at all, not even curb scraps anywere underneith.

ive kept some money to the side + ill save up a bit too, cause i have a lot of mods to do, starting from scratch.

i was just wondering what the mags were i hadnt seen them before?, there 18s

+ any hints, tips and past skyline experiances would be greatly appreciated, cheers

cant wait to check out everyone elses machines

Yours might be a Series 1 or 1.5 judging from the year....you've got a S2 rear wing though...

Try looking at the center caps of your rims to see if it has anything remotely english sounding like a brand or something.....

enjoy your Skyline

[MrMeaner]

cheers, i will definitly enjoy it, *** i love it, if ne prik smashs into it, im gonna kill em

[MrMeaner]

whats the difference between series 1 and 1.5?, im guessing not too much

[Kutter]

it's basically a mix of Series1 and Series2 parts....a hybrid of sorts during the transition of the S1(till 95) to the S2(96).....

However I've heard some mention that it's got the best ECU out of both or something......

[MrMeaner]

cool, thats good to hear

[Guilty]

thats an S1

s1.5 has s1 front and s2 back...or vice versa.....but this one has s1 front and rear.....i think s1.5 is late 95..and since urs is bought in jan..den i think its an s1!!

but anyhowz very nice car..im in the process oflookin for one too...i can get an s1 now..but ive decided to wait a bit more..get another 2k? ..jus enuf for an s2.....congrats on the new car and hopefully i can own 1 soon too hehe

[(B1) MR_fanny]

that looks like a series 1.5 to me....from wat i know they dont come in a series 2 back just the rear spoiler and front bar but the skyline garnish is still series 1. check ur engine to see if its a series 2 engine and see if ur boot lock thing is the series 2 one...then ull know:D:D:D i have a series 1.5 too.

[hooligan]

wats the diff in the boot lock between s1 and s2?

[urbanoperations]

good question, on mine the metal badge plate slides up and to the right, to reveal the key hole

The 93 - 94 has a dark enamelled black boot lock.

The 95 - 98 has a brushed metal finished lock.

hehe, reveal the key hole, well for mine, you spread it and reveal the hole... LOL... =)

[2fardown]

You have the factory fitted tweeters in the A-pillars as well. Nice.

[JimX]

I don't want to burst your bubble, but the HICAS is factory standard

Also, be wary of the "untouched" engine, it's not uncommon for mildly modded cars to be returned to stock before selling. You can make more money on them that way usually. I wouldn't worry either way though, the engine and gearbox are bulletproof.

good one man .. :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

Def. Series 1. That wing was an option. The headlights, rear badging, bootlock all scream S1.

Looks fairly clean inside.

You paid a lot for a stock series 1 though.

One of the first things *I* would do if I just bought that car would be remove the piece of shit aftermarket blow off valve and use the stock one. Unless there is something wrong with the stock one.

Oh and the Nismo carbon fibre around the window are probably real. The same ones are for sale at UAS (http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au/priceli...elist_nismo.htm)

good tip, get a bigger cooler, and up the boost to 1bar

not the best for a standard turbo aye?

[Airzone]

Looks exactly like mine - except the colour :-)

To check if you got series 2 bits, you can look for:

- If there's a black box sitting up the rear of the motor about 3 inches square, S1 part. S2 doesn't have this.

- Underneath the air snorkel (lol!), count the wires coming out of the AFM. 3 wires = S2, 4 / 5 wires = S1.

I think there's also something to do with positioning of the fuel regulators, but don't quote me on that.

And yeah, if it's got a turbo, it's got 4 wheel steering

Looks nice all up
