woo hoo mines series 2 and has twin air bags and abs!!!

i have in my possesion right now,

1997 r33 gtst mspec 2,factory original with 25000kms,standard exhaust etc.absolutely original with double din cd,keyless remote etc.2 x airbags and no abs.

abs is an option

[MR-GTR]

Just got off phone from NISSAN, 93-2/96 was a option on Turbo coupe.

Now we are talking Turbo and we are talking coupe.

2/96-end of production ABS is standard equip.

information taken from Nissan Japan spare parts computer

Now I have only seen turbo coupes 2/96 with ABS. never without.

I only go by official nissan information, and thats what I pass on to the people on this forum.

I do not listen to anybody at auctions or brokers in Japan, in fact I don't buy from them, I don't trust any of them

[vspecv]

doesnt make sense to me ive seen plenty of mspec2s without abs

I think you could both be right.

I had a look on the http://imports.motortraders.net.au/ site (formerly japimportcar.com) and it lists two model variants for series 2 r33 gts25ts (manual, coupe). The first 1996-1997 has ABS as an option, and the second 1997-1998 has ABS as standard.

So it could be that only the late model series 2 have ABS standard and the earlier series 2 ones don't.

[MR-GTR]

I guess I have to repeat what I said.

ALL MY INFORMATION IS FROM NISSAN

they are the people that build the cars we are talking about.

I don't think japimportcar.com would know more than NISSAN JAPAN. in fact I don't think anybody would no more than them!!!

If it doesn't have ABS and the build date is later than 2/96 then its NOT ORIGINAL. (FACT)

If you disagree then ring Nissan Japan.

[Phil]

Sure MR-GTR.. but the person who you spoke to at Nissan did not build the cars.. perhaps he just looked up the one model variant (later series 2) and gave you that info.

How do you suggest that there are so many series 2's without ABS? Are people removing it or what?

I hardly think 50% of them have gone out and done a series 2 conversion on their series 1 .. and changed the interior too? =)

[ix9]

All series II's I have seen (about 6-7) have NOT had ABS, yes, they are genuine. They are all 96 models. Therefore I believe it is an option.

I have even seen a LATE 97 SeriesII, without ABS.

I have seen a 1998 SeriesII WITH ABS....

Just for reference.

[Pva_Glue]

I know all GTS-4 has ABS on them...

I should count my self lucky...

I thought ABS was factory option to all series II! .. I guess not:rolleyes:

anyway Just becareful on the road and hope you dont have to use ABS...

maybe ABS is good thing to have BUT it can be really annoying on the track...

cheers

ok people, the truth has come out, I've got the original skyline series II japanese catalogue right here in front of me and its says quite clearly (well its in japanese but you could work out) that the gts25t type M with active LSD (which is a seperate model by itself) and the gts-4 are the only ones with standard ABS. the rest which include the type M specII and the spec I and all the nonturbo versions have it as an option

[MR-GTR]

I guess the guy at Nissan is a idiot, I was unlucky to get such an incompitant fool, I will get him to ring you for any information he needs. or maybe he can call your suppliers direct, it will make it so easy for Nissan japan to source such accurate information ,

I am sorry to have questioned your experience in Skylines.

Can your suppliers get me some of these genuine cars too, all these years Ive been relying on Nissan , I should have listened to all those aussie, kiwi, canadian, paki, indian,and shri lankin car brokers living in Japan, all hanging around the scrap yards and auctions, Over the past 9 years I've lost so many honest genuine deals. I should have just purchased over the net like most here,

I'm crushed , I won't sleep tonight.

[Phil]

Hehe.. all that crap and you still managed to avoid all the questions and valid arguments we have put forward.

[akeenan]

that the gts25t type M with active LSD (which is a seperate model by itself)

HAAH yes my car is unique

Well I've been back to Nissan again, series 2 was released in Oct 95 officially, as from 2/96 all series 2 33 turbo skylines were fitted standard with ABS.

Prior to 2/96 it was a option on all 33 version cars.

like I said from my first input on this

from 2/96 all 33 skylines were fitted with ABS, the brochure was printed prior to 2/96. this is official from Nissan

[Guest INASNT]

geez ladies u went to alot of trouble to prove your points on ABS!

Who really cares in the end? U have ABS or u dont!!:burnout:

[akeenan]

i agree!!

[MR-GTR]

Yes your correct I suppose, it was you instant who said 33 all had ABS standard, I agree with you as I personally have never seen a Turbo series 2 without ABS, I contacted Nissan to find out the truth from them , I guess some people don't want to find the truth.

But this I do know for sure !!!!! there are a lot of non genuine supposibly "genuine" cars out there, give me your chassis no and model number and I'll find the truth for you. IF YOUR NOT AFFRAID OF THE TRUTH. I can also find how many owners its had and where it was sold and where it lived in japan , also 80% of Skyline imports are purchased from the "accident repair section" of the auctions.

in the end I guess as long as your happy with it then thats what counts.

[Phil]

I guess we'll never know. It's always hard when the official line seems to differ from what people are seeing! Perhaps someone with a s2 without ABS could take MR GTR up on his offer and maybe that would explain it ..
