NO_RSPECT Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 oh hell no that aint to series II sure it could be a 1996... but series II as we know them.. nopers.. hey missing link, how weird that it has the series II dash insert with the raised edges and then a 1995 steering wheel. and no dual bags. ? and the seats etc alpha can you ask him what his original bumper looked like? does the indicator stalk still have facility to turn on or off fog lights?

damono Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 it might be a butchered frankenstein skyline made from old bits lying around a japanese workshop, or a cut and shut gone wrong which might explain the vibration. Correct me if im wrong though, im no mechanic Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/64824-need-some-advice/page/2/#findComment-1219347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphA Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 I had a GSR Lancer for awhile " poor thing found the back end of a truck and never drove again..

streamer Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The steering wheel is definitely Series I. The Dash is Series II although its missing a passenger airbag. Series 1.5's have a passenger airbag. The front is Series I Type M. The rear, i dont know Maybe a joined half cut when it was involved in an accident as some have suggested?

AlphA Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 I think im going to stay away from it.. Its a shame.. It was $15'000 and thats damn cheap " should have known that I wouldnt get a Series two for that much" People be warned! http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!c...rch_distance=25 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/64824-need-some-advice/page/2/#findComment-1228669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

" that dash was the same as my 95 gtst and it doesnt have a air bag . I dont think all 1.5s have a passanger airbag .

ibuckout2 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 after having my name and my car questioned in these forums, i did some serious, and expensive checking on the cars history. the car is definitely a series 2 bought in dec 96. the previous lady owner actually spoke a little english (thank f|_|ck), the reason for the different lights and some interior are the fact that she hit a dog at 65 k's, it bent up the front right guard, bonnet, and smashed the light. also the drivers side airbag went off. she had all ready signed the contract for sale to the importer and only had 2 days to get the car fixed. the lights are the original that came with the car (she put some after market blue ones in), the guards are from a series 2, the bonnet is from a series 1.5, and the drivers steer wheel is from a her brothers car, she thinks it was a 95. that came over the same day. no doubt some1 in here has it. (i pity the bloke that does, now that is a chop job, unrepairable front end damage, it should have a similar timed comp plate, car used to be black, w/ a blitz bodykit, and a few mods the motor). also just to provide evidense of the compliance and build dates i have some compliance pics, maybe some of the people in here just dont really know as much as they think they do. and you know if yall wanted to know all you had to do was ask for the pics Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/64824-need-some-advice/page/2/#findComment-1268770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphA Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Did you end up selling it to a car yard??? Also you didnt know what make the rims are did you? Sorry I questioned it that much, Im still not sure if I believe you 100% but Im not sure its your fault as it wasnt your car. Its good that you "did some serious, and expensive checking on the car" I would have done this before trying to sell it.

ibuckout2 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 as you know adam, finances are tight and prior to selling car i was trying to run a family on $329 p/w compo pay prior to tax, and the mags on the brothers car she didnt know but they where white i think she said, it wasn't easy trying to understand her, but the ones on this weren't on it when she had it, she had stockies Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/64824-need-some-advice/page/2/#findComment-1268812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
