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?

I had a GSR Lancer for awhile " poor thing found the back end of a truck and never drove again.. That had a killer engine it it 4G93 however I think a Gti Proton with Turbo would be hell fast.. they weigh nothing..

That Skyline looks strange - has series 2 rear end, sereis 1 front end ... and a mixed interior...

I would stay the fark away .... looks dodgy.... chop shop job maybe?????

to many maybe's with that car....

keep looking is my advise.

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 :D

Maybe a joined half cut when it was involved in an accident as some have suggested?

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!

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

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.

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

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
