R33 Bonnet Issues

[mikev]

I hope some one has the brains to help me figure this out.......... i have a r33 s1 2dr it was damaged in the front and i have to replace bonnet rh guard and headlights.i bought a standard guard it fits well,then i bought a v spec bonnet with the s1 shape around the headlights .1st problem was that i need different hinges.the bonnet is from a gtr vspec and the holes are closer to the centre if the car(ie hinges come in about 20mm more than standard).i have a lhs hinge so that wont be hard to fix.the problem i have is that it seems to be longer than it should be.when held closed and all lining up the tip of the guard is 10mm back from the leading edge of the bonnet.it lines up well at the windscreen end.so my only thought is that the v spec has longer guards or that the v spec is only a gtr model and that has longer guards.or does the s2 have longer guards.any way i will either sell bonnet and buy a standard bonnet or buy the guards to match.any help to clear up the truth for me would be helpful.mike

Do a search of this section, its been covered many many times...

To fit the bonnet you will pretty much need the entire GTR front end. Guards, bonnet, fenders, latch, hindges, headlights (or space the gtst ones out) etc...
