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

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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
