I have a R33 gtst and was wanting to put a GTR front end on it, bonnet, front guards and front bar.

will they bolt on?

from what ive read through a quick search i will have to change my head lights to GTR aswell?

has anyone done this before? am i wasting my time? is it too hard etc? should i just put a GTR front bar on and be done with it?

any help would be great

cheers!

Bonnet, gaurds, front bar, grill, bonnet latch and front bumper reo. That's what I can think of off the top of my head. Probably missed something. Headlights are the same unless you have a S2 GTST.

If you can get the parts cheap than it is fairly easy and straight forward to do. Just looks a bit weird with having pumped front gaurds without the rear.

hmm i have a series 2 R33 gtst.

so im guessing the gtr bonnet wont fit without the guards and lights being changed?

can i just fit the front bar? without changing anything else?

I don't belive so, the lights are a different shape

The series 2 looks good stock

I had a series 1 and someone had put a GTR style front on it before I bought it. I can see why cause a stock series 1 is ugly and looks like an old man car, but a series 2 looks good the way it is

hmm i have a series 2 R33 gtst.

so im guessing the gtr bonnet wont fit without the guards and lights being changed?

can i just fit the front bar? without changing anything else?

Why not just get a GTR style front bar to suit a S2 GTST?

yeah that was the plan but just wanted to see how hard the whole front end change would be first as ive seen gtr guards, front bars and bonnets etc for sale here.

thanks for the info guys!!

To many in this thread,

There is a search function on SAU for a reason.

Yo, man. Ever wonder why I bumped a 6 month thread? Perhaps, SAU search didn't find @#$% and Google told me to come here. Do you have links to those 'many' threads?

Hey mate,

I'm not reffering to you, the r33 conversion has been done many times an is documented.

In response to your question, you need fenders, bonnet, bumper, maybe gtr reo an latch, headlights u can use gtst ones I'm pretty sure

So many asking bout r33 stuff clearly havnt bothered to search, poor form

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
