Alright, I have searched the forum about this topic. I have read the FAQ and many other threads, and looked at the motortraders link. I think *know* what the differences between the Series 1, 1.5 and 2. However, I haven't had much luck finding definitive photographs of the differences, except for the exterior. Or much of a discussion about if the later models were actually that much better.
Can anyone show me the differences (photos if possible)?
Esp interested in the:
- Interior trim
- Instrument cluster
- Engine (someone said different tps?)
- Dash, A/C, etc
- Diff so I can identify a S1 or 1.5 with LSD (Ignoring the special A-LSD models, too hard to find)
I'm in the process of searching for a 33 GTS25T, and I've been stumped by the Series 1.5's. It seem's that Nissan grabbed whichever part came to hand easiest during the transition so the S1.5's aren't consistent. Hence I'm trying to understand what I'm looking at. Will also be important for getting the right parts.
After all this, is it worth looking longer & paying more for a Series 2? The external appearance isn't really a factor for me. Is there any solid reason not to buy a S1 or S1.5?
I have heard of the FAST software, apparently it gives details of a specific car based on the vin? Can someone clarify, and does it cost much to get a car searched?
