Also there is NO 1.5. Its either a series 1 or 2. When I worked in a Jap parts shop we always had people saying they had a 1.5 and the Jap manager always said "whats a 1.5?, there isn't one"

Its just a series 1 running a s2 engine during the series change over, they never called it a 1.5.

Sorry to babble on this but it always p*ssed me off when people said it.

saying s1.5 is the easiest way to clarify things. yes it is techincally a series 1, but when it is running a s2 engine, wing and a few other minor differences, it can be vital for noobs to say that they have a s1.5 at times. for example if they say that they need new coils and want to know what part number they need for splitfires. if they simply say that they have a series 1 then they will get told the wrong information.

yes, s1 has a green sticker on the AFM from memory

Correct.

Shut up. There is also Series 2.5 Technically.

This.

What if you went to Nissan and said you had a 1.5? They wouldnt know what your on about.

Well they can get f**ked because i wouldn't want coil packs for a Series 1 would i? nor AFM?

so i have a series 2 engine.. just didn't want to buy the wrong engine.

thanx

Sounds like it. But i was under the impression all S1.5 had Airbags. hmm.

None the less, if it doesnt utilize a standalone Ignitor and has a Pink AFM i daresay its a Series 2 engine.

S1 has the ignitor on the rear of the engine S2 does not.

you should be able to determine what you have by the plugs anyway.

also there is a S3 version of it as well. mechanically not a lot changes - electrically though its different,

slippy,

whilst I agree with you I too reference them by 1,1.5,2,3 as it is easier to talk to the customer with those numbers, when talking to nissan though I reference by chassis number and model. its easier when dealing with O/seas suppliers to give correct info than to half ass it.

I consider it to be Series 2.5 and not 3 as like you said it only has minor changes. As a series 2 engine and some series 2 bits made a series 1 a 1.5, a few changes to a series 2 engine should signify Series 2.5.

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
