Has anyone ever seen an R33 GTS-T with R34 lights on the back?????

I wonder if the tail-light panels are interchangable?

I ask, as I have a seller telling me he has seen plenty of conversions in NZ. A search of this forum failed to come up with any response??

If anyone has done this or at least seen it done let me know. It might give the R33 a strange and unique look.

well i'm seriously considering doing a front end conversion for my 33. I know it'll be ricey and expensive and all, but i rekon it'd be pretty cool to say i own a R33.5 :) oh wells. my 2 cents. but yeh i dont know about the rear lights unless you change the rear quaters as well....

yeh i know, dmd had a 33GTR look like a 34 at last years autosalon. Took out the "thats a sick body kit" award. Was kinda thinking along the same lines except i want to keep the rest of my car. I guess i can sell some of the parts like lights, paneling and front bar to help finance the conversion. Heard the bonnet and lights on the series 2 33's are expensive as all hell.

nah they aint, just they look heaps different. I suppose because there weren't many series 2 cars made. Dont know its only a guess. But i've been told not to hit anything in the front of the series 2 as it can get bloody expensive. 1 headlight alone costs nearly 570 dollars. dont know much about how much the bonnet is.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
