Ok technically they are a series 1.5 1995 model. The series 1.5 had a series II rear (colour coded SKYLINE garnish and spoiler update) with a slightly updated front bumper and grill. Drivers airbag was standard on them and the passenger airbag was optional.

However i still class it as a series 1 since it has series 1 headlights (or in the case of the photo i posted it has series III GTR headlights, which as we all know are the same shape as series 1 headlights) and had a series 1 engine. Series II were 1996-1997 and had a normal series II empty grill, not the one above.

Can't say for sure with such a small picture, but there is a S2 specific grill like that. As Liquid ice said its not as common as the standard series 2 grill, but its not the same as the one PM-R33 posted, as that is rounded on the edges to suit the series 1.

I'll post some photos of the series 2 version when I'm on my PC

Thanks for the replies guys, but it seems divided on what it is.

A little more info might have helped in the first place. Its gun metal grey which I don't believe the series 2 came out in, but I pulled the grill of my series 1.5 and tried this one and it didn't seem to fit.

Perhaps a better picture will help.

So what year models are those Series II's? Are they a factory grill or something aftermarket?

They where factory from what i understand and must of been an option on all series 2's from 96-98.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
