Hi

I have bought a pair of gtr r33 xenon headlights..i want to fit them to my r33 gtst..the bonnet, gaurds and front bar do not fit the headlights but..does anyone have another way that could be done? would changing to a gtr raidiator bar work?

please help if can

thanks

I think that u need to change guards, bonnet, bar and even the rio on the front Cause being skylines they dont fit each other..... I learned this after i bought a gtr carbon fibre bonnet and it not fitting U wanna buy it ? lol

Want to sell them to me for a song?

It sounds like you've got series 2 R33, cos someone here have one of these on his Series 1 (or 1.5) 33 GTST with stock bonnet, bumper and guards.

Onto a series 1 they bolt straight up.

GTR headlights and S1 GTST head lights are the same.

If they don't fit you have a S2. Unfortunately you have a huge job to make them fit. Should have done some research prior to buying them. I suggest selling them.

S3 xenons are NOT the same. the pickup points on teh bottom are different. there is a change somewhere in the radiator/headlight panels. there is a good 20-25mm difference int he panel->light mounting. next time I get a certain GTR in I will show you.

also make sure the ballasts are there if you do buy them

just had a bit more of a think about it:

OP has a s1or s1.5 therefore:

bonnet,front bumper, radiator/headlight panels need to change it s not a task for the lighthearted.

To make it a bolt on affair yes Chris. We didnt, we modded it.

Hmmm fair enough. I just assumed they were the same given S1 and S2 GTR headlights are the same as S1 GTST headlights and the S3 Xenons don't look any different.

the GTR I am talking about belongs to a customer of mine. car is a s1.5 and the lights S3. top/side mounts line up the bottom inner does not line up at all.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
