Hi,

I have a white R33 Spec 1 RB20e. I have sourced a spec 2 bumper for it in white.

I have a picture of a Spec 1 with a Spec 2 front bumper and I know the headlights of a Spec 1 will sit out a bit over the Spec 2 bonnet - I dont mind this.

However, what I need to know is will the Spec 2 bumper go straight onto the Spec 1 car - ie. how will I mount it

and the other thing is - will the loom thats present on my car for the Spec 1 bumper, match up with the front indicators/spots on the Spec 2 bumper.

Thanks a million

Daz

The Spec 2 front bar will fit on a Spec 1. The headlights will stick out over the front bar slightly.

If you have a Spec 1 reinforcement bar (reo), it will not "Bolt on" the indicator/foglight assembly will foul on the reo.

You will need to modify the reo or source a Spec 2 Reo.

and the other thing is - will the loom thats present on my car for the Spec 1 bumper, match up with the front indicators/spots on the Spec 2 bumper.

I cant remember if it was a direct plug in.. I think the indicators will. My Spec 1 did not have a factory fog light so I bought a Generic kit from autobarn.

Thanks for the reply J.

Yeah, I have a Spec 1 reinforcemant bar. Do you know what sort of work would have to be done to the reinforcemant bar to enable me too fit the bumper on and how would I go about bolting it on to the car?

Im not very good with working with bodywork.

I think my loom has the wiring for the spots and the indicators.well I hope so :)

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
