Hey everyone im pretty new to SAU forum and would just like to say hey for starters :D

Just got my first skyline !! WOOT

I have had it for about 3 months now , i have been into them for agez and is a dream come true to finally own one xD

I however unfortunately yet am not the go to guru about the car and still learning about it ' mechanically' which has been fun.

I have come here to ask the question and hopefully get some good responses towards my skyline and any constructive comments are

more the appreciated =D

I have had a few friends and a few random skyline owners i have come across in my travels have a look at my car and i haven't really got a set

answer as to; What series my skyline actually is ?

Helping me out with this will help me better understand my car and i wont be going to buy S2 parts instead of needing S1, visa versa teehee.gif

Also any cool upgrades you think would go nice with this car please let us know

Cheers Guys!

Ps: One of the lights says S2, but i think it may because of a replaced headlight..

Photos attached. thanks.gif

I see thankyou, well apparently mine is 1995

What fits on 1.5 ? mainly S1 things or does 1.5 have its own type of bodys etc?

Im looking at buying someones S1 front body this weekend would like to know if its gonna fit :)

S2 front end, S2 engine, S1.5/S2 steering wheel, S1 interior, S1 wing, S1 rear gander. Bit of a tough one, but being a 1995 model it's definately a S1.5.

^WHS

But S2 comes with a different S/wheel.

And yeah, imo keep the S2 front end and get a S2 spoiler thumbsup.gif

Definitely Series 1.5 with S2 front conversion and for some retarded f**ked reason a S1 wing lol

Fronts bars are all interchangeable, just not grills and bonnets due to the difference in headlights.

LOL, didnt look at plates, sorry.

You guys should have a "PAY IT FORWARD" section over there like we do in the SAUNSW members section, we use it for parts that are gathering dust in the bowls of our garages and sheds, you put all your spares up for free but you get to pick other parts which you get for free, old school swap meet style.

Someone give this man a S2 wing.

Front bar is NOT exactly interchange, the lower edge of the series 2 headlights sits back further than the series 1 lights so the top edge of the bumper is also different. With that said they will swap over and look ok from a distance but it won't be right. Just stick with the series 2 front.

Also for other folks looking to identify an R33 its actually quite simple, just check the chassis number:

ECR33-0xxxxx = series 1

ECR33-05xxxx = series 1.5

ECR33-1xxxxx = series 2

The same basic rules applies for many Nissan models.

oh awesome :D thankyou i shall check that soon

yeah unfortunatly my front bar is cracked to far when i bought it i can see the cops just hounding me, i just got a s1 front bar for a sweet deal :)

ill let you guys know how it goes and post a pic of it

cheers

depending on whats been done already, some really basic upgrades that i have done to my 33 are very simple ones, installed a boost tee and boost gauge, uped the boost to 9PSI (will be going to 10-12 in probably the next day or so), plus a CAI system, i did these upgrades only as the previous owner had already installed a 3"exhaust from turbo back and a FMIC (had a monsta brand, swapped it out with a saber one i had lying around) and from my understanding, these little upgrades can produce from my understanding about 20 RWKW (correct me if i'm wrong)

Should save up for an electronic boost controller. Boost Ts will eventually f**k out but before that happens they have the potential to boost spike and overboost your engine AFAIK.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
