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

no worries mate - its definitely series 1/1.5

That's what I was thinking too, but asked the question because of how narrow it appears (like S2) and then when they couldn't tell me for sure on the phone I was supposed to go down there for a test fit but like most things it a matter of finding time in business hours :3some:

hey guys. If you were to do the S2 conversion you would need to change

-Hood

-Headlights

-Reo bar

-Front bar

-grill

What about bonnet hinge?

Front quarter panels?

Also because its a r33 series 1.5 i never had fog lights (driving lights) so when i change to a series 2 bar does the car have to be re- wired ??? do i need to change the stalk to get the fog lights to work?

I am doing this conversion as my M-spec has had a front ender and i can convert to a series 2 for $2500 inc brand new carbon bonnet with 4 tuff looking scoops on each side and a big scoop in the middle so its a definite and im going to make a tuff s2 :P

Need help as i have all the parts to get on thursday but not sure if my series 1 guards are the same as series 2!!!!! HELP PLEASE

why play pretend :)

come on there not that expensive, were not talking about converting a cheap dato into a ferrari gto here. Just spend the extra $500 you save yourself after all the conversion process and get the real thing.

if you want a perfect conversion do all of the above... i simply just put the series 2 front bar on my series 1 and i reckon it looks better without the s2 bonnet, grill, etc. just my opinion tho.... the only fault is the front bar is set in a bit under the lights, like 10mm or so, other than that mine is a perfect fit.. s1 grill looks pretty good above the s2 bar aswell imo. thought id try something different.

the fog lights you do need to change the stalk, run a new line, relay, switch.... etc. or you can just tap them into the parkers lights like i did haha.

cheapest way to convert to s2 is wait for a wreckers to wreck a 33 and make a deal with em or something for all the parts. jap motorsports on magill rd offered me everything for a s2 conversion for a grand, obviously wouldve just needed a spray after that.

hope some of this info helped ...

Does that mean you'd be driving around with the fog lights on at any given time when your normal driving lights are on? cops will ping you for foglights on without the presence of fog

Definitely hook up a switch, because you'll care after the coppers slug you a $200 (approx) fine!!!

They(fog lights) are very handy. I drove the sedan up to a friends place right up top of Norton Summit last night, and it was actually foggy on the way home after midnight. Fog lights helped quite a bit.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
