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!!!!

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
