Hey guys, I was just curious as to why some R34 Skylines look different to the more common ones, I've noticed some of them have this different body kit on them which is stock from the factory, but whats the differences between the two R34s?

It's a bit confusing to explain, so i attached photos

The back of them seem to have a wider and lower rear bumper with mesh in it, and the front of it seems to have a red badge that is a part of the actual bumper, again with mesh.

thats the 'Altia Aero' factory optioned body kit available from from Nissan when the car was sold new

for series 1 models it also included this wing;

the Nismo kit was also availble as an option - front bar, side skirts, rear bar and wing (all of which provide functional aero);

as well as the factory option lip for the series 1 front bar;

and lastly the series 2 front bar - the below pic has a aftermarket/DIY lip by the looks of it;

oh wow, never knew that. thanks heaps.

just wondering, the car in the photo i posted, does that mean its a series 2 R34?

and is this kind of car a lot rarer? or common? or any information on the differences on the car i posted would be awesome

they arn't rare moreso less common than the factory standard front bar - as customers would have to pay a premium for anything other than the standard bumpers;

the Altia aero option was available to the later series 2 models, the only way to tell would be;

- no 3-piece wing, series 2 models were offered with the standard wing

- series 2 interior;

- 2 tone steering wheel with emblem in the center / gear shifter, silver faced dials, aluminium drilled pedals

- series 1 interior;

- black only steering wheel with 'Nissan' embossed and black gear shifter, dark faced dials, black rubber pedals

okay, i get that. but it gets a bit confusing because,

the car i posted the photos of has the standard wing, and you're saying that means its a series 2?

yet the interior of it is more like the last photo you posted, the exact same interior almost, except it has the 3 gauges like boost etc.

so from this, the photos of the black car i posted, is it series 1 or 2? considering the interior is exactly like the last photo you posted

that seems to be a non turbo and also auto by the looks of your steering wheel? Seems to be a S2 from the colour scheme inside.

for the spoiler, both the 3-piece and standard spoiler were available with the the series 1 cars, where as the series 2 was only offered with the standard spoiler

if your interior looks like the last photo, its a series 1 model with the altia aero kit with the standard spoiler

    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
