hi Ricos

R33 S2 frontbar will fit straight onto a s1 r33. the only thing which you will need to do it cut off the plugs for the indicator/fog lights and put ur s1 plugs on them..

i was running a s2 r33 frontbar on my s1, i found it fitted ok but due to the s2 having different headlights it didnt line up 100% still look good from far

Pretty sure you don't need to change guards. The headlights are different but not around the part connecting to the guards.

it will fit but it will look crap and out of place

basicly the frontbar sit in and the headlights and grill stick out abit.. depends how u mount it will depends how good or shit it will look.. i did about 5min job mounting it and it turn out not soo bad

Without a doubt you don't need to change guards. They are exactly the same.

As previously said, front bar will fit with series I lights and bonnet, but it will look wrong as the series II lights are slimmer. So to make it right, you need series II headlights.

Series I bonnet and grill doesn't go with series II headlights, so you also need series II bonnet and grill.

I have this done to my R33.

If you're gonna do it, do the lot.

Edit: added a couple of pics which i just ran out the front and took of my SI - SII.

That's a 4 door front bar - 2 door front bar has different fog/indicators.

Thx for all the post guys...i understand now i cant have a series 2 bar without changing the whole bloody front end haha oh well...

i wanted to ditch my series1 bar cause i want to get a cooler and a diffr front bar...

can anyone suggest a place that sells front bars for series 1 ? something not so stocky as series 1 but nothing to riced up

all help appreciated

[mr_crust]

well to get it to fit properly, once the front bar is on there are gaps under the lights and were it meets at the guards. so if you do change the headlights so you dont have gaps , you then need the grill and bonnet, it isnt as cheap as you think to do this and make it look clean.

but for a half assed job you can get away with it if you really want it

Where are you in Aus? You can try places like Justjap.com or nismo.com.au or ask around in the state forums as they will probably know places to buy frontbars/bodykits in your area.

Depends on your personal preference for frontbars, I personally am not a fan of the s2 frontbar althugh s2 bonnet & headlights look tough. A lot of r33 owners seem to go for the 400r style frontbars & I've seen a few Trust frontbars on r33's in my area.

i picked up this front bar from a wreckers in brisbane for $110. its a bomex copy and it is fibreglass and was split down one side. but i fixed it up, slapped a coat of paint on it, and this is the finished properly. all up cost me about $150. the other thing you could do is get one of the front bars people refer to as type m. then cut the center out. a lot of people have done this. have a look in people's avitars. some have a pic of it. can't think who though.

on a side note, how many of you have chrome grills and chrome headlights? i have them but haven't seen very many other cars with them. my car is a series 1.5 (made october 95) and has the series 2 motor and a few other odd things. my power window switch is different to my mates (his was made august 95).

chrome grills around your headlights is from a 4 door.
