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:

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
