Hey ya'll, sorry if this question has been asked a million times before, but I just wouldn't know. I'm relatively new to the arena of skylines.

Basically I have recently picked up an '93 R33 GTS-T manual etc, but the main difference that I can tell between my skyline (series 1) and other series 1's I've seen around are: Mine has two airbags, abs, fog lights and an active rear diff.

The passenger airbag is real and hooked up etc, as I had it checked out by a mechanic, its not just a series 2 dash. I thought the series 1 skylines only came out with one airbag? Like I said forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question.

The nearest information I can find on my car is this website here, i'm pretty sure this is it: http://imports.motortraders.net/imports/spec.asp?id=653

So what I want to know is, how good is this 'active rear diff', what other difference's are there about my car to other skylines that I don't know about, and is it even rare! For all I know, every other skyline driver out there has the same gear!

Thanks all

Active rear diff is a super trickey electronically controlled LSD.

Like a traction control device.

1.5 was exactly what you said, SII bit in SI body.

The Active rear diff was aboout a $5000 extra when new.

Nice, do you know of many of these diff's in cars getting around?

Do you mind if I ask you a few more questions, I've run a few search strings on the site, but havent really found what i'm looking for.

1) Any legal information about the fitment of pod filters? (Ie is it legal in QLD as long as their the non-oiled type? And same goes for BOV's, providing they plumback? Is this correct?)

2) Does anyone on this site have any links or know anyone who offers aftermarket (or genuine) replacement handbrake leather covers and gear stick covers?

3) Is there a DIY oil change in the DIY section? I looked through a lot of pages and ran a search and couldnt really find anything?

Thankyou for your help.

Whole D.I.Y section.

Pod filters are illegal unless in a box in most states.

There's a guy who sells hand brake boots in the For Sale section.

1. I'm thinking QLD is same as NSW... to be sure, it's a dry pod enclosed. BOV has to be plumb back. There are arguments about MAP based ECUs with atmo vent but I don't wanna go there.

2. Jay was still doing these wasn't he?

3. Sciby has a great dummies how to guide.

by definition, series 1.5 would have to be a transition between the series 1 and 2 (like a 95/96 model) that blended in the differences

this whole series 1.5 thing is stupid - your car is a 93 model so its a series 1. simple as that. nissan didn't advertise a series 1.5 (or did they? - i'm happy to be proven wrong)

my bet is that you have a series 1 with some nice optional extras. you might even have a special edition something or other with the active diff, but at the end of the day its still a series 1 as its a 93 model

every man and his dog these days is trying to claim their series 1 as a series 1.5 to make it that little bit more special and its got my goat

someone prove me wrong, or leave this whole series 1.5 thing forever...

series 1 1993 to 1995

series 1.5 is 1995 only. series 1.5 usually (ive yet seen otherwise) is always and again im yet to see otherwise. series 2 rb25det engine, series 1 front, series 1 interior, series 2 boot wing.

series 2 1996 to 1998. different bonnet. different front. different boot wing. different interior plastic pattern thingy. its smoother in the series 2. change in suspensions (only slight im pretty sure). or maybe it was brakes? seats have different trim.

FAST is Nissan's service parts catalogue, as an added bonus if you put in your japanese VIN into it, it tells you exactly what model, spec, colour and engine and features your car rolled out of the factory with.

Post a pic of your car and its VIN and I'll help ya identify it. Dual airbags were available as an option on most R33's, as were active LSD's.

mines a series 1.5 with exactly what was said above.

i guess your lucky enough to get a series 1 with all the options with it. thats rare enough for me:D

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
