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...

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
