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 :(

Michael, wat didnt line up 100%, wouldnt it line up n e way as the bar is symetrical :S

which parts didnt line up? could u explain a lil more..thx bud:)

WB thx

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.

Cheers

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 :P

all help appreciated :O

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).

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
