Mix matching R33 series 1 and 2 ?!?!?!


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if the series 2 R33 bonnet, front bumper and headlights will fit straight onto the series 1 R33 ?

And is there a carbon fibre bonnet to suit the series 1 ?

Some dumbass reversed into my car with a ute and wrecked the bonnet. So I need to do something with it all. Any suggestions?

I was also thinking about putting on a GTR style front bar as I have a GTR rear wing and maybes the carbon bonnet if one could be made to suit.

Thanks for any input guys.

:uh-huh:

yeah u will need front bumper support, headlights, bumper and bonnet from a series2 if u want the series2 look. uniqueautosports.com.au may sell a series 1 carbon bonnet, but they are around $1k, worksauto.com.au sell a series1 r33 bonnet i know, carbon. if i were u i'd get maybe get a carbon bonnet, and a gt-r front bar, u'll find more kits that will fit easier onto a series1 front end.

Yeah the unique and worksauto carbon bonnets are the same.

I think i'll get the carbon bonnet and a GTR style front bar.

Would look good I think, does anyone have any pictures of an R33 series 1 with a carbon bonnet ? :shake:

if u wanted to do a front end conversion on a series 1 can ya get away with the series 1` headlights...with series 11 front bar, grill and bonnet?

i would like to know if anyone has done this, but the other way around

such as a fibreglass 400R or GTR front bumper on a series2, because most kits are made for series1?

51jay car looks tough :(

how does that S1 front bar line up against the head lights? do the headlights protrude further infront than the bar sits under them, or is it ok? or vice versa, where the headlights seem to sit too far back and the bumper is too far forward?

do u have any pics looking from above the headlights or from the side of the car? cheers :)

The basic difference seems to be that the series 2 lights are flatter with less curve along the front length so they sit further back from the edge of the bar and show a gap about 10mm where you can see the rear edge of the bar. I now have a 400R bar to suit series 2...from UAS. Ididn't have to alter the front support bar because basicly it's mostly gone. for interest the series 2 lights were approx $520 each including delivery from Sydney, I got them via Zoom Auto Imports 07 3348 6939. I ended up buying 3 'cos 2 weeks after I fitted them (straight bolt on swap) I hit a kangaroo!!!!

    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
