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

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
