buy a series two front halfcut ( without motor if you can find one or sell motor) make sure you get all panels, bonnet and bonnet release and rio etc. in reasonable to good condition ( less fixit work before painting)

EDIT: don't forget the headlights..

swap the front guards, bar, bonnet etc. onto you car and then get it all sprayed or have it sprayed prior to fitting its up to you.

then hey presto series two conversion :P

you could go the whole hog and replace your dash aswell to get the dual airbags and all the seats and interior trim if you wanted but then you should probably just buy a series two IMO.

Been there done that, you will need:

Bonnet, head lights, front grill, front bar, Reo bar, Fog light wiring kit (unless you have fog lights on your S1)

No need for fenders, S1 and S2 are the same.

What's a 'reo bar'?

Reo = Reinforcement bar its holds up the front bar and is apart of the cars crush zone.

Circled in red.. this one is off a Series one though. The series two is a lot smaller (basically just the top half)

Cheers

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
