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.

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

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.

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..

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...

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,

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.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
