Swapping R33 rear lights for R34

[QuickR33Melb]

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.

Reverse lights might be tricky.

The whole back end is a different shape. How are the rear quarter panels going to line up for a start?

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....

front end has been done

R34 lights front bar and bonnet on a 33 just takes a lot of panel work and reshaping the front end

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.

cause the S2 lights are i think halogen lights like the 34

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.

hmm ok they just look halogen to me
