Overall they are a much better looking car:thumbsup: :D

For the switch for electic aerial.... are you talking about the one under the steering wheel that you and adjust the height between full length and half height???? If so My Skyline has that and is only a series I????

See, that's why you're not allowed to ask this question. Everyone starts arguing about freeking plastic wheels. Can you tell just by looking?

Someone please do a faq for

series 1 v 2 r33

vspec v normal gtr

hicas light on

and reduce my blood pressure.

Duncan,,,I love it,,,,Also gives me a chance to bag out all the s1's....

Nissan go it right with the S2 Front bar,,,Right hand side air intake is for an Engine Oil Cooler,,,middle is for the FMIC and the left one is for Cold air Intake for the Air Cleaner,,,and all uninpeeded.

Try THAT with a S1.

Sir 33 RESTEKPA BRO

Turbos are the same, fantastic.

maybe it spools quicker due to computer changes or some other crap, but please PLASTIC WHEEL, i mean plastic, for real??

why would they do this to a car that starts with like 187KW and that is where it starts. I am sure once upon a time someone stuffed their wheel (dunno how etc) and then on some forum they said "boosted it till it felt like my ribs were in the back seat and then turbo carked it, dang impeller wheel...BLOODY THING IS LIKE PLASTIC" and someone took it seriously.

but yeah ring nissan and check part numbers.

same part number must be same part?? unless they go and change the wheel to a plastic one if you tell them it is a 1996

Anyways I am going to try and get an answer from Nissan or something official.

NO_RSPECT

If they are plastic wheels on s2's dont underestimate the strenght of the new form of plastics! New new plastics have a greater thermal restance/strenght than some steel and the plastic is not what breaks off on the turbo, its the way they join the plastic to the metal shaft is where the weak point is!

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
