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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
