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.

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

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

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).

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
