not that I know of.

hi,

because i need a new engine and i don't know if my engine is a s1 or s2. its a 95 model and i have been told it is a series 1.5. i jsut came back from the mechanics and

they have taken the head out and i need some help.. It doesnt have airbags..

Also there is NO 1.5. Its either a series 1 or 2. When I worked in a Jap parts shop we always had people saying they had a 1.5 and the Jap manager always said "whats a 1.5?, there isn't one"

Its just a series 1 running a s2 engine during the series change over, they never called it a 1.5.

Sorry to babble on this but it always p*ssed me off when people said it.

saying s1.5 is the easiest way to clarify things. yes it is techincally a series 1, but when it is running a s2 engine, wing and a few other minor differences, it can be vital for noobs to say that they have a s1.5 at times. for example if they say that they need new coils and want to know what part number they need for splitfires. if they simply say that they have a series 1 then they will get told the wrong information.

yes, s1 has a green sticker on the AFM from memory

Correct.

Shut up. There is also Series 2.5 Technically.

This.

What if you went to Nissan and said you had a 1.5? They wouldnt know what your on about.

Well they can get f**ked because i wouldn't want coil packs for a Series 1 would i? nor AFM?

so i have a series 2 engine.. just didn't want to buy the wrong engine.

thanx

Sounds like it. But i was under the impression all S1.5 had Airbags. hmm.

None the less, if it doesnt utilize a standalone Ignitor and has a Pink AFM i daresay its a Series 2 engine.

S1 has the ignitor on the rear of the engine S2 does not.

you should be able to determine what you have by the plugs anyway.

also there is a S3 version of it as well. mechanically not a lot changes - electrically though its different,

slippy,

whilst I agree with you I too reference them by 1,1.5,2,3 as it is easier to talk to the customer with those numbers, when talking to nissan though I reference by chassis number and model. its easier when dealing with O/seas suppliers to give correct info than to half ass it.

I consider it to be Series 2.5 and not 3 as like you said it only has minor changes. As a series 2 engine and some series 2 bits made a series 1 a 1.5, a few changes to a series 2 engine should signify Series 2.5.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
