Obviously if you are looking part for part, nothing fits. You have to do a whole front conversion.

The guards, bonnet, front bar, grille, headlights are all different. However, they all bolt on to an S1 chassis. The only things that don't bolt on are the inner guards, as clearly the front bars are different/have different attachment points.

To fit the headlights also, the attachment points are different so you need to drill two new holes, weld the nuts on under the radiator support, then they just bolt on.

One final thing to note, the headlight plugs are also different, so you need to cut/solder the S2 plugs on the S1 wires but it all works the same from the stork.

Other parts wise, most suspension stuff is the same, interior will all bolt in, doors/rear panels are the same. The rear lights have different plugs though, like the front. The engine stuff wont ALL bolt in as its R33 S2 motor vs NEO motor.

Overall, its the same chassis with a different front/interior quality/motor.

Cheers for all the help guys.

Reason I was wondering is that there is a WGNC34 Dolphin front bar for sale on eBay. Looks to be S2 by the indicator lights. Just wanting to know if it would be a straight replacement (other than the lights) for a S1 bar.

Doesnt look like we are that lucky.

Thanks :)

i figure posting here is better than starting another front panel thread. im buying another s2 with front damage (as soon as the flood water pisses off!!), and im thinking of a ser1 front conversion. are the radiator support panels the same between a s1 and s2??? cos im thinking of just getting a nose cut and fixing it up.

They are basically the same. Maybe just a headlight mounting hole different.

If you stay series 2, I have a pair of front guards if needed.

Why go series 1, looks or price?

for tuffness imo. but i doubt it will fit well without fabrication or swapping of the reo bar. lights are an issue with wiring. cutting, welding and brackets will be needed.

i remember years back a forum member changed a series 1 to a series 2 front end and it cost a fkn mint. nowadays not so much if sourced locally (even nz). hit up the fs section or get ready to pay $$$ ex japan from auctions. imo even a GTT (alternative to GTR) front can look ok with the right front bar. darrin or tangents should know.

Is that nose cut you gave S1 or S2?

And there are a lot of differences in the looms in the tailgates, between 1 and 2 and with and without door closer. The 25G, RWD, has different plug ins for the tail lights. Still have not got the electric closer working yet. After the rain it is No 1 on my list.

a bit of both. ive got a line on a cheap s1 nose cut. but i do like the look of the s1 front. besides i already have a ser2 so it will be nice to do something different

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
