Well since it doesn't have anything to do with the front grille or headlight shape (as in it isn't molded to a series I or series II shape), wouldn't it fit both since the front dimensions below the headlights are the same between the two series'?

well honestly i dont know bugger all about this stuff. i know the headlights grill and bonnet are different between the 2 series and people say if u try fit a series 2 bumper to a series 1 car or vice versa there will be a gap between the bonnet and it wont fit nicely.

is this just because of the grill? coz ive got a standard series 2 front end on it i can just use the grill from that, but surely it cant be that easy can it?

The difficulty about the series I and II conversion is due to it all being genuine parts and the series I and II have a different front bumper support assembly. So to do the convertion from one to the other, you have to change everything (bonnet, headlights, front bumper support, front bar and grille).

However since the bumper you have posted is a generic aftermarket fibreglass item that doesn't have anything to do with the grill/headlights and isn't fitted to the car via specific mounts on the bumper support assembly I think it should fit your series II fine.

mmkay well i guess thats good news then.

now what to do with the indicators.... looks like the previous owner chopped off the mounts (under the gtr rectangular vents) so im thinking i mite relocate them to where the parkers usualy are. but im guessing then id need external parklights to pass pits....damn park lights!

yeah i know im not even running any atm, ive got hids and the only ones that match the colour were those white led ones but they both stuffed up - only 1 or 2 of the 6 or wateva led's were lighting upon both sides.

yeah i may aswell just do it if i get yellowed ill just jimmy something up

hey mate i got this kind of similar bumper on my car,thats r33 gtst s1 and bumper touching the reo bar and making a horrible noises over the hump and bumpy roads...so might possible you have to trim your reo bar...

My old GTST had the blinkers for the front where the parkers were meant to be... bad idea if you ask me as people could barely see them at night and not at all during the day in my opinion. It wouldn't be hard to get two small LED blinker lights from any auto shop really and jimmy something up in the blinker location on the bumper.

Just my two cents

it does make a difference because the series two lights are slightly flatter across the front of the car. if you fit a s2 bumper to a s1 car (aftermarket too), the s1 lights will stick out over the top of the bar. so in your case, the bumper will stick out a bit at the top and lights will look a little sunken.

its not too much, but just enough to annoy you

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
