AlphA Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Ok, well Ive put a small deposit down on this car pending a full check over next friday at Hyperdrive so im not 100% locked into getting this car however the price is VERY good its done 88'000kms, its manual and Its advertised as: GTST - MANUAL Series II M-Spec 1996 Now the front bumper/body kit was very badly damaged when he drove it up/down somebodys drive way "explains why its got a new one unpainted on the front" But its not a SII front at all is it?? Im attaching some picktures so you guys can ahave a look and let me know what you all think. Series 1. 1.5 or 2 * its advertised as II and I looked on his rego papers and it was registered as a Series 2.

AlphA Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 I dont think it had a passengers side air bag. The dash and everything looks so damn clean.. almost looks new.. Its on a slight tilt towards the driver " the radio etc etc.. isnt that a series 2 design? Butler: Yeah? The front bumper isnt stock Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/#findComment-1217961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pozza Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 if it didnt have a passanger airbag its definatlly not series 2. But because it does have one in steering wheel it will be series 1.5 hey. Have a look at some pics for a 95 skyline and a 96 you'll see that the steering wheels are different. Those pics show a 95 (series 1.5) steering wheel. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/#findComment-1217963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pics show a 95 (series 1.5) steering wheel. Ahh man.. Im worried now.. It must have at least one airbag because it says SRS airbag under the bonet, It also is dated as a 1996 build under the bonet. Cheers pozza, Im going to look into the 1995 and 1996 models a bit more..

Col-GTSX Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Its 100% a 1.5... Has a series 2 motor with series 1 interia and series 1 front end (ie grill, bumer and most importantlly headlights... The series 2 has different head lights. If its a 96 model it cant be a swries 1.. It can only be 1.5 or series 2.... Must be a 1.5, as why would someone replace series 2 stuff with series 1 parts...

Birnie Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Sounds dodge, I've seen a Series I for sale from the dodgiest guy I've seen and it was badged under the bonnet as a 1997. He even asked me what's the difference between a I, II model ! I think someone on here has a way of telling the year by the chassis number of something, Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65086-gts-t-r33-series-i-or-ii/#findComment-1218066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 No that's not a Series II at all, headlights, bonnet, grille, front bumper, interior are all indicating Series 1.5. The only part which is the same as a Series 2, is the colour coded [skyline] panel at the rear, but all you have to do is paint a Series 1/1.5 clear part and it looks the same as a S2.
