What Series Is My Skyline? Please Help Out!

[2ToneSkyline]

Hey everyone im pretty new to SAU forum and would just like to say hey for starters

Just got my first skyline !! WOOT

I have had it for about 3 months now , i have been into them for agez and is a dream come true to finally own one xD

I however unfortunately yet am not the go to guru about the car and still learning about it ' mechanically' which has been fun.

I have come here to ask the question and hopefully get some good responses towards my skyline and any constructive comments are

more the appreciated =D

I have had a few friends and a few random skyline owners i have come across in my travels have a look at my car and i haven't really got a set

answer as to; What series my skyline actually is ?

Helping me out with this will help me better understand my car and i wont be going to buy S2 parts instead of needing S1, visa versa

Also any cool upgrades you think would go nice with this car please let us know

Cheers Guys!

Ps: One of the lights says S2, but i think it may because of a replaced headlight..

Photos attached.

Apart from the front end it's s1. Check what year model your car is then you'd know.

93-94: s1

95: s1.5

96-98: s2.

*correct me if i'm wrong about '96.

[2ToneSkyline]

I see thankyou, well apparently mine is 1995

What fits on 1.5 ? mainly S1 things or does 1.5 have its own type of bodys etc?

Im looking at buying someones S1 front body this weekend would like to know if its gonna fit

[JnJ]

s1.5 is practically s1, interior wise. and exterior wise just few bits changed like driver's airbag, s2 wing, s2 garnish etc. I'd say leave the s2 look, get a series 2 wing as well, it'll look better,

[2ToneSkyline]

Thanks heaps really helps me out !

Yeah deffs will look into getting a s2 wing

[NA_Goodness]

S2 front end, S2 engine, S1.5/S2 steering wheel, S1 interior, S1 wing, S1 rear gander. Bit of a tough one, but being a 1995 model it's definately a S1.5.

^WHS

But S2 comes with a different S/wheel.

And yeah, imo keep the S2 front end and get a S2 spoiler

cheers guys

yeah sounds good, is it possible to put a S1 front bar on though?

looks pretty sick, my one has to many cracks it came with to stay unfortuantly, im just waiting to be pulled over u_u||

[045HOW]

Definitely Series 1.5 with S2 front conversion and for some retarded f**ked reason a S1 wing lol

Fronts bars are all interchangeable, just not grills and bonnets due to the difference in headlights.

If your in Sydney you can have my old silver S2 wing for a 6 pack of XXXX.

[045HOW]

His western Australian number plates say otherwise. ^^

haha soo true cheers mate

[The Bogan]

LOL, didnt look at plates, sorry.

You guys should have a "PAY IT FORWARD" section over there like we do in the SAUNSW members section, we use it for parts that are gathering dust in the bowls of our garages and sheds, you put all your spares up for free but you get to pick other parts which you get for free, old school swap meet style.

Someone give this man a S2 wing.

[2ToneSkyline]

hahah thanks heaps

yeah i agree !! someone should

[Chris Rogers]

give me your chassis number and I will tell you a few things about the car

[kakimoto33]

Front bar is NOT exactly interchange, the lower edge of the series 2 headlights sits back further than the series 1 lights so the top edge of the bumper is also different. With that said they will swap over and look ok from a distance but it won't be right. Just stick with the series 2 front.

Also for other folks looking to identify an R33 its actually quite simple, just check the chassis number:

ECR33-0xxxxx = series 1

ECR33-05xxxx = series 1.5

ECR33-1xxxxx = series 2

The same basic rules applies for many Nissan models.

depending on whats been done already, some really basic upgrades that i have done to my 33 are very simple ones, installed a boost tee and boost gauge, uped the boost to 9PSI (will be going to 10-12 in probably the next day or so), plus a CAI system, i did these upgrades only as the previous owner had already installed a 3"exhaust from turbo back and a FMIC (had a monsta brand, swapped it out with a saber one i had lying around) and from my understanding, these little upgrades can produce from my understanding about 20 RWKW (correct me if i'm wrong)

Should save up for an electronic boost controller. Boost Ts will eventually f**k out but before that happens they have the potential to boost spike and overboost your engine AFAIK.
