I'm looking for a white r33 series 2 rear spoiler, r33 white series 2 front bar and r33 series 2 white rear boot garnish..

I just have a few questions firstlyy

will a series 2 garnish fit on a series 1?? or should i paint my current garnish??

secondly will i have to buy a new front end reinforcment bar?? or can i use my current one??

also will the series 2 bar fit with a series 1 bonnet?? or will it not fit or look stupid??

Hi

Im getting sick of the series 1 skyline so i want to convert it to series 2... SIFFFFFF

I'm looking for a white r33 series 2 rear spoiler, r33 white series 2 front bar and r33 series 2 white rear boot garnish..

I just have a few questions firstlyy

will a series 2 garnish fit on a series 1?? or should i paint my current garnish?? it will fit.

secondly will i have to buy a new front end reinforcment bar?? or can i use my current one?? as far as i know you will as series 1 and 2 are different though i could be wrong

also will the series 2 bar fit with a series 1 bonnet?? or will it not fit or look stupid?? it will fit but id say it will look out of place

is a series 2 bonnet expensive?? depends where you get it

also is it easy to install the front bar?? and will the series 2 spoiler fit the series 1 boot?? front bar is a 2min job if your car is ghetto spec, maybe about 10 mins if you like screws :) spoiler will fit easy.

If anyone has an of these items can you let me knoww might have a white front bar on sunday when i pick my white r33 up :)

or answer any questions please let me knoww :P

Save your money and spend it on the engine or a nice front mount if you haven't got one already...... You'll quickly get sick of a S1 that's trying to be a S2 and may have trouble selling it when the time comes.

S1 > S2 cant be done without bucket loads of cash

front bar is different due to guards being different therfore bonnet is different and then you will need a short list something like

front bar

font guards

new headlights

new bonnet

hinges, latches (maybe)

ohh ok

cheers everyone for the feedbackk..

so would anyone recommened coverting the rear of the car to s2??

so just the s2 spoiler and s2 garnish..??

is anything else different??

cheers

Pretty sure series 2 coilpacks are cheaper and easy to come by then series 1 as the series 2 relies on the ecu not an ignition module

arent s1 coilpacks cheaper coz u can use rb20 coilpacks and there all individual so u can replace them individually. whereas s2 are grouped or something? i think sum1 told me that correct me if i am wrong

there's no real difference between s1 and s2 engines! practically the same but the coil packs and turbo.

just get a s2 if you're not happy with the s1, i don't see the point in spending all this money and effort in making what you got to something that is already available

same price

and i would say not as easy to come by i can use coil packs from

S1 Rb25

all R32 GTR's

all R33 GTR

s2 engines can only use S2 engined coils :D

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
