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!!!!

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
