hi guys

does anyone know if a r33 series2 front bar will fit straight onto a series1

thx :P

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.

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.

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).

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
