Series 1 (88-)

Grandpa checkered black and cream interior standard.

Front bumper has a centre opening and two equal sized openings to the sides, seperate to the main opening.

Grille is clear, has bars matching the headlights and consists of two equal sized openings.

Taillights are the old 80s looking style with ribs on the outside.

Clear Projector headlights, low beams and high beams on independant projectors.

Series 1A (89)-, same as above, interior was grey or brown as standard, as with series 1 it had other materials available but atleast the standard material wasn't shit.

Bumper is a single opening (equal to the size of all three openings of S1)

Grille is a single opening (letterbox style), matt black.

Series 2 (90-)

As S1a, Better interior again as standard

Centre console and interior 'refined' (smooth single piece centre console on auto's)

Bumper is same as S1a,

The side rubber bumpers and the curve towards the bottom of the doors and quarter panel are different shape and at different level.

Taillights are smooth flat surface type, with black border.

Half clear headlights (clear except for over the projectors and fog lights themselves, which were glazed)

Series 3 (91-94)

Suede interior standard,

As S2,

Bumper is smooth type, has less ridges and curves, the indicators sit lower, etc

Similar tail-lights to S2, but red border.

Normal (non-clear) headlights, high/low beams combined filament.

Grille is the black mesh/chrome centre type, similar to A32.

Series 2 and 3 were available in AWD (Turbo+Auto only) (1990 and 1992)

Series 3 was available in RB25DE (non-VCT)

Series 3 had bullshit luxary spec, woodgrain trim, electric leather seats, 6 stacker cd player, alarm, rear air con, drink cooler, blow job while you drive, etc

That's about all I can remember off the top of my head.

Have to disagree slightly. Mine is a Series 3, manufactured in August 1993 according to FAST, yet it's AWD and has the clear projector headlights with separate low/high/fog.

Where does the drink cooler go then? I'd love to get my hands on one of those as the standard single DIN drink holder can be annoying sometimes.

drink cooler went in the glove box, just a little pad thing that 2 cans sit in comfortable, dunno how it goes about cooling them, can probably by the same thing now days that plugs into cigarette lighter.

Didn't know AWD was made in 93.

Just looked up your topic in the members rides section.

Your headlights are definately earlier series.

93 = series 3. Yours has S3 taillights (red border, not black). All series 3 had non-clear headlights.

Atleast, going by these old sales brochures I scored cheap off Yahoo.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
