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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
