Nope - the headlight is a completely different shape, as is the bonnet :)

I am 99.9% sure the only way to interchange them is to swap Guards, Bonnet, Front bar, Grill, Headlights, High beam lights, indicators/fog lights and front bar reo all at once.

LOL

we have an old member who went to the dark side of the force (Alex and his evo) who went down this path a couple of years ago. Pretty sure he was the first in Aus to do it, and the results were quite good.

He did kinda lose most of his front end in an accident tho IIRC

yeah his car was reversed into by a truck if my memory serves me and used the opportunity to convert to series 2 face

the guards are completely different so you'll need to track down an s2 panel to replace yours. complete front ends are easy to interchange - much the same as s13 silvia and 180sx fronts can simply be swapped over (same chassis)

No, alex rolled the car after going far too hot into a corner

went off road and rolled a little

he then did a S2 conversion to his S1, to make it the first official S1.5 in Australia, LOL

was a good job, took time tho of course

Nick, Id suggest getting onto wreckers for a replacement panel, or local quotes to fix that one up (via a re-skin)

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
