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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
