check the general maintenance faq sticky mate, has it in there.

from memory there are differences like abs, airbags, turbo (prob won't notice that one lol) and a stack of others... i think the s2's were 96-98?

good luck

series 2 have...

different clock.

have a passenger airbag.

have the igniter built into the ecu so it wont be at the back of the motor.

have round fog lights/indicators in front bar not square.

ran from 96 onwards

had cloth seat fabric not the furry stuff lol

It'll be a 1.5, most 1995 models were. These usually have the series 2 spoiler, which sits higher up and doesn't curve over the boot like the bridge style spoiler in series 1. They usually have a single airbag. They have a unique front bar that sits kind of low to the ground and has the series 1 grill. Series 2 engine which means igniter will not be at the back of the spark plug cover. Series 1 seats, velour as opposed to cloth.

this is incorrect. the ignitor is built into the coils, not the ecu. this is why the coil part numbers are different from s1 to s2, yet the part number for an ecu remains the same between s1 and s2.

While we're mentioning spoilers and foglights... series 1 has a clear "skyline" garnish, s2 are colour-coded. (not sure about s1.5 though)

s2 has different seat trim.... and no coin-slot on the dashboard.

The ignitor is gone from series 1.5 cars as well im pretty sure, so that will not be the way to tell if its series 1 or 2

best ways are dash, front end (bonnet, lights)

the instrument cluster on the series 2 has circles around all the warning lights, series 1 have all the warning lights in single panels if you get what i mean.... So if you post up a pic of your dash or front someone will be able to tell you what it is

s1.5 has a clear garnish, but they often get painted

    • Yeah this was also my suspicion, that pineapples exist to reinforce the OEM bushes because people CBF taking the subframe out to do it. Basically that pineapples and subframe lock collars perform the same intended task. The cup still bolts in under the bush/crush tube.. as to how it'll go I don't know. Two of the bushes at the back look mostly the right shape. The ones up front clearly have the impressions left by the pineapples. Time will tell whether this will work/make any difference. Ideally I would not want any lock collars or pineapples, I'd just want the bush to do the job of the bush. Time will tell if the car works correctly with only the poly bushes in the state they're in. Worth seeing, I think.  What panel work are you looking at? I'm shelving everything from the A pillar forward because it's shit/doesn't function and this was before I drove off at the track and then drove into somebody! A second hand Reo and brackets is $1000, which is just cray when Mr.Hammer turns this piece of metal in regular metal shape.. considering it needs to be drilled to be adapted to the GTR headlight brackets anyway... So I'm all for $0 instead of $2000 (new 34 GTR reo) for the same result lol.
    • I think he's already demonstrated that that's the way he's treating it post the paint jail release.
    • Yep that makes sense, thanks! I guess flogging these turbos in winter is more preferrable lol.
    • Bahahaha, bloody hell Greg. You've got bent and broken things, but instead, you're replacing perfectly good items. This story keeps getting more gregged!   Also, I'd 100% replace that reo if I were in your shoes, unless you panel beater is REALLY good. Even if you put another GTT one on there. Just because you've done so much nice body work lately, I'd say repair the body work fully  If it were more drift car spec, I'd be all "Hit it with a hammer and send it!"
    • There's a fair chance that my bushes are Nismo, because I'm reasonably sure that when asked the question (when putting the subframe into the car in ~2012) "What bushes do you want to run?", I'm pretty sure I would have answered "The stiff ones!". I had to put some silicone grease onto the GKTech inserts I jammed into them last week, because the bushes were quite resistant to having something jammed up their jacksies. So, I reckon you'll be best off doing Nismo + inserts. And, if I'd known you had PU bushes in the subframe AND PU pineapples, I perhaps would have said earlier that that's probably not a good idea. The pineapples are only intended to work with the stock type bushes, because those have a crush tube (which is what makes it end up looking like there is sloppy space in there - but doesn't, because the crush tube does make contact steel to steel) and the pineapples live in the space between the subframe's outer tube and the lower washer/bracket. But the PU bushes don't leave the space in the same way that the stock format ones do, and they do end up fighting for space. Order some bushes and collars and get to it.
