Hey Guys

Im looking at a skyline for sale. It has 12/95 Australian compliance plate. From what i know the series 2 only started in 96.

It has everything a series 2 has even the interior, passenger and driver airbag, series 2 motor. it has it all

i did a Nissan Fast check and the date on it is 01/96. it also has the AR1 colour code which is the Nismo red which im sure only came out in series 2.

Someone pleasee help !! i dont want to buy it and have troube selling it later because of the 95 compliance plate.

Thank you in advance

Compliance plate is when it was imported into Aus. The build plate is from Nissan with VIN number etc.

I don't know how it was complianced in Australia before it was even built? Is the front end Series 2? The seats are different fabric?

Thats my issue. it would have taken at least a month to come into australia. before it was complied here.

series 2 front, series 2 seats. series 2 rear, series 2 engine and the colour AR1 is a series 2 colour im sure of it.

the only thing i can think of is if it was a special order series 1.5 and when it came here someone changed the front to series 2.

Well that makes more sense. I don't see why not? It would be the very first production run of the series two. I doubt you'll have any trouble selling it because of the different series anyway.

In 95 it would have been a $40,000 car, would have been very expensive to import, if you were aven able to back then.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
