Quick Question

[Bo0oSt]

Hey boys n girls im going to be having a look a 95 model skyline which has the series 2 front bar and bonet.

My question is, is there a way to tell a series 1 from a series 2 other than just looking at the bumpers and bonets as in is there a plate or something which would have a different code for a series 1 to a series 2?

cheers

Hi,

without having the vin checked, you can usually tell the difference by things such as the interior trim of the seats are different from series 1 to series 2. The panel on the rear boot that says "skyline" is colour coded on the series 2. The rear spoiler is a little higher and squared off on the series 2. And my series 2 has driver and passenger airbags- however im not sure if this was standard or an option.. Hope this helps a little.

And I thought series 2 came in at the start of 96? Wasnt the 95 models the mythical series 1.5?

I would agree with this

The series one has no airbags either, the series 1.5 has drivers side airbag and the series 2 has both driver and passenger airbags which ShylineR33 already pointed out. There's a heap more differences between them but if I want to know what series Skyline it is I just go straight for the airbags.

ok sweet well this guy reckons its got dual air bags, the upgraded ecu and the interior trim is different too but its still a late 95. How would it have all the bits and pieces of the series 2 but still be made in 95. i didnt even know there was a series 1.5. Is that just a series one with series 2 bits ?

so im now fairly confused lol

I wouldnt its easy to change dashs around and im pretty sure on the site ive seen a series 1 with a series 2 dash. The best way to check is put up the VIN number on the Fast thread and it will reveal all.

Series 1.5 had the series 2 motor series 2 wing Drivers airbag but everything else was series 1, Hence the reason why on this site people call them a 1.5.

Different steering wheel on series II and different dash around the h/unit suround. The year and month that was made should be on the Aussie compiance plate as well.

Isn't the steering wheel for the Series 2 the same as the Type-X steering wheel? They look similar from memory.

Looks the same as most Nissan cars of that age, Late model S14, N15 series II and so on .
