GTS-T R33 Series I or II ??

[AlphA]

Ok, well Ive put a small deposit down on this car pending a full check over next friday at Hyperdrive so im not 100% locked into getting this car however the price is VERY good its done 88'000kms, its manual and Its advertised as:

GTST - MANUAL Series II M-Spec 1996

Now the front bumper/body kit was very badly damaged when he drove it up/down somebodys drive way "explains why its got a new one unpainted on the front"

But its not a SII front at all is it??

Im attaching some picktures so you guys can ahave a look and let me know what you all think.

Series 1. 1.5 or 2

* its advertised as II and I looked on his rego papers and it was registered as a Series 2.

[mitchy_]

the front is S1 spec.. whereas the rear is S2

interior looks very much the same as my S1 aswell...

[MrGTST]

Did it have a passenger side airbag? If not it is going to be a series 1...

[Butler]

thats def a series 1.5, can tell by the interior

[AlphA]

I dont think it had a passengers side air bag. The dash and everything looks so damn clean.. almost looks new.. Its on a slight tilt towards the driver " the radio etc etc.. isnt that a series 2 design?

Butler: Yeah? The front bumper isnt stock

[Pozza]

if it didnt have a passanger airbag its definatlly not series 2. But because it does have one in steering wheel it will be series 1.5 hey. Have a look at some pics for a 95 skyline and a 96 you'll see that the steering wheels are different. Those pics show a 95 (series 1.5) steering wheel.

Ahh man.. Im worried now.. It must have at least one airbag because it says SRS airbag under the bonet, It also is dated as a 1996 build under the bonet.

Cheers pozza, Im going to look into the 1995 and 1996 models a bit more..

[Butler]

the steering wheel is def from a 94/95 model car and the seats look like the series 1 cars aswell, and yeah all the series 2 cars ive seen have 2 airbags.

S1 Bumper

S1 Grill

S1 Steering wheel

S2 rear wing

My guess is a S1.5

[Col-GTSX]

Its 100% a 1.5...

Has a series 2 motor with series 1 interia and series 1 front end (ie grill, bumer and most importantlly headlights... The series 2 has different head lights. If its a 96 model it cant be a swries 1.. It can only be 1.5 or series 2....

Must be a 1.5, as why would someone replace series 2 stuff with series 1 parts...

[Col-GTSX]

After taking another look at the pics im 110% sure its a series 1.5....

Id put money on it....

[Birnie]

Sounds dodge, I've seen a Series I for sale from the dodgiest guy I've seen and it was badged under the bonnet as a 1997.

He even asked me what's the difference between a I, II model !

I think someone on here has a way of telling the year by the chassis number of something,

Cool thanks man... Im thinking its a 1.5

[33Spec2]

yep 1.5

series2's have different bonnets aswell and a different grill

[krzysiu]

Its a series 1.5 but a 96??? :| :|

I thought sereis 1.5 went to late 1995

[krzysiu]

Acciident?

[drifta]

yep 1.5  

series2's have different bonnets aswell and a different grill

oh yeah he right :wassup:

[JXL]

M-Spec does it have a sun roof and rear windscreen wiper cause i though that was prerequisit for a M-Spec.

[performance-wise]

You could try running your chasis number HERE

[Cake]

No that's not a Series II at all, headlights, bonnet, grille, front bumper, interior are all indicating Series 1.5. The only part which is the same as a Series 2, is the colour coded [skyline] panel at the rear, but all you have to do is paint a Series 1/1.5 clear part and it looks the same as a S2.
