Series 1 ---> Series 2

[JAS-25T]

im buying a skyline

but im not sure when the series two came out

does anyone know the month or year?

i know the 96 is definatly a S2 but im getting one built on 10/95, would that be a S1 or S2

[nisky3t3]

should be a S1

u would have to check for the things that make up a series 2 their have been threads about it a while ago see if u can search for it but if not i'm sure someone will write it up for you. IT might be a 1.5 series people have spoken of those and i've seen some too.. it just really depends. Cheers Rob

series 1.5... do a search heaps of distinctive features

[JezR31]

I think the s1.5 had a similar front bar to the s1 except it looks like a more extended version. ( comes down lower than the s1)

Series 1 front

Series 1.5 front

The series 1.5 also had the bigger spoiler of the series 2 instead of the smaller one.

S1 spoiler

S1.5 - S2

On a SII the lights at the front are a bit different..there are 2 little round lights at the front. One being the indicator, the other being the fog light. While on the S1 its that rectangular thingy.

[akeenan]

it will either be 1.5 or 1 .

[33Spec2]

id say series 1.5 but could be a series 2 as mine was built at the end of 95 and is a series 2

has different light, wing and bonnet

[MINES_DATSUN]

i think its a series 2 , but you wil have to wait and see. is there any running gear differnce in the series 1 , 1.5, 2 ?

Skyline_Boy, I believe the bigger spoiler and front bar were options on 94 models and became standard on 95 models. Many people refer to the bigger front bar as a "Type M" (GTS-t, turbo model) bar because I think the GTS still came with the smaller bar as standard in 95 (not 100% sure though). But I think the bigger bar was still an option on the GTS.

MINES_DATSUN, the main differences I can think of off-hand are different ECU and different igniter/coil packs. The gearbox/diff/engine though are pretty much the same.

mine is a late 95, it came with ser 2 spoiler and boot badge but just the small standard front bar, just have to wait and c.

[JimX]

Hmm, maybe the big front bar wasn't standard even in 95 then.

[JAS-25T]

well mine has the series 1.5 front bar and rear bar as posted by skyline boy

thanks for your help guys

hope to come for a cruise when i get it

just wondering, i have a series II right, but my boot badge doesnt slip to the side like its suppose to? I have to like pull the boot button from the side of my drivers seat to get my boot opened. Is it just me? or is there no key hole in a Series II to open the boot with?

[Duncan]

guilty, your lock must have been replaced, my nissan badge swings up to reveal key hole.

[sammus]

What about this front bar?... this is my fav one - with the 2 lights

(i think i got this pic off someone on these forums)

thats a sII front bar and looks like it has the lip as well.

[Guilty]

yepp thats a lip on the front bar...i have that on my S2!

Duncun, it has been replaced? lol oh...***....wtf y da hell would anyone replace a boot lock?

[JimX]

wtf y da hell would anyone replace a boot lock?

Probably because it had been stolen in the past and the owner didn't want it stolen again so he glued/welded it on. They cost around $175 for the titanium one.
