yes, there are more differences than the bodykit (see the FAQ section :D )

24k seems a bit expensive for a 94 model...but as SKYLINED said it'll be more at a dealership. Have a look some private sales you might find a better deal :D

What are they saying the 96 upgrade kit is?

S2 differences are quite numerous. Every time i pull something off the car i find its slightly different to a mates S2. So far I have:

- Turbo differences

- AFM differences

- Airbags passenger, and driver side

- Front bar

- Bonnet

- Headlights

- Grill

- Rear badging

- Different type of plastic used in the dash, more wear resistant

- Factory stereo (S1 had optional CD player but some just had tape decks!)

- S2 rear strut tower brace (is this factory?)

- More im sure.

Basically the S2 just looks a lot better on the road due to the cosmetic upgrades and will probably be in better condition since its newer.

Anyway 23 grand would put you in '95 '96 GTST territory at private sale or importer. Car yards suck and will screw you over at every turn post-sale.

    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
    • Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?
    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
    • That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.
    • Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
