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??

is a series 2 bonnet expensive??

also is it easy to install the front bar?? and will the series 2 spoiler fit the series 1 boot??

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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
