I am looking to purcahse another skyline after selling the WRX. I went and had a look at one that i am interested in buying. The build plate says 1997 and everything suggests that except for the airbags. It has a single (95 style) airbag and no passenger airbag.

My initial thought was that it has been in an accident and airbags have gone off and then replaced dash but i can not find any signs of damage what so ever. I don't understand how this could be a possibility, 97 was the second year of the series two and surely would not have come out with a single airbag.

Can anyone shed some light on the this?

Cheers

The thing is that every thing else about it is series two, bonnet, front bar, grill, rear skyline label is colour coded, seats, speedo and surrondings, dash... Only thing that isn't is the airbags.

It is also in very good condition. Have seen cars before that have been in accidents so i know some of the things to look out for and it looks good.

blx - when you say 95 style airbag... does that mean it has the 95 style wheel... like this : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...achmentid=11876

If so, then I would suspect that its a bit dodgy. I am pretty sure I have read that airbags were always options in skylines (but most had them anyway)... so if its the right wheel (S2, not s1 like above) and no passenger airbag, then i wouldnt be worried.... if it has the S1 wheel, then i would be a bit suss tho.

maybe just its interior was previously damaged, so they had to replace the dash and mix n matched..

or perhaps it previously put out 600hp, and had 12 guages across the dash, leaving holes, which they couldnt hide, so they replaced the dash :rofl:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
