I found a new one!! My series 2 had a little mis-fortune and needed a new Throttle position sensor. These are very different between the series 1 and 2 with the 2 having a pair of wiring loom entries and the series 1 only having a single wiring harness. It pays to check before ordering from Japan!!

There is such a thing as a 93 s1 with dual airbags, coz its sitting in my garage. The steering wheel (air bag) looks different to s2 and so does the passenger side air bag. They are also factory stand

Actually I read recently on an options list for 93-95 GTSt's that passenger airbag was an option. The fact that Britto's is the only one anyone's ever seen just shows how much Japanese skyline drivers

Cool britto I think that ALSD was an expensive (and therefore uncommon) option on type-M's, lucky you :D

Are you absolutely sure it's got dual airbags?? Like above the glovebox it has a rectangular outline and says SRS Airbag?? Cos I've never heard of any R33 other than a full-blown SII that had 2 airbags.

As for the driving lights, I'm pretty sure Series 1s have them, just not the same type as Series II, SII driving lights are round.

Yeah its got dual airbags, previous owner bought it with all the safety extra's. And it says SRS airbag on the rectangle. Yeah i was real lucky. As for the driving lights, i was told that they dont work on s1 as they weren't hooked up. Not sure how reliable my source is though.

As for the front rectangular indicator/foglight, there are 2 different types in the Series 1.  Some have nothing in there and it is simply a white lense, whereas others have a foglamp there.

Make that 3 types, another option on series 1 was dual fog/driving lamps in the lower front 'type M' bar, in the area that is normally covered by black plastic mesh. Only ever seen 1 like this though.

Sure its just not a dash from a series 2? cuz there is no such thing as an r33 made in 1993 with dual airbags

There is such a thing as a 93 s1 with dual airbags, coz its sitting in my garage. The steering wheel (air bag) looks different to s2 and so does the passenger side air bag. They are also factory standard. Since your all so skeptical i've posted an image of my interior.

Looking at that photo tho that looks very much like a series II dash, tho maybe they just used same (similar) dash in S1s which took second bag option?

A guy from Nissan confirmed that it was optioned up with the second airbag, and i guess it uses the similar design of the s2.

Mechanically Series 2 started at the beginning of 1995, though many will claim it was 1996. This is true if you judge a vehicle by cosmetics. 1995 saw the introduction of the updated ECU and ignition system. I’m not sure about an updated turbo though.

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
