Ok, I recently went to nissan and bought all the stuff to put on a R33 series 2 front bumper correctly.

Got everything but a SPACER-BMPR,LH, p/n: NI-62095-24U00

They said it was coming from Japan, 4 weeks turned to 8 weeks, and now they cant find it in store.

Does anyone know what it is? Im guessing theres a RH and LH one, and it spaces the bumper from the car body around the sides. I can probably fabricate something myself, im guessing its not fancy, it was $3. But i need details before i do that.

Also if someone has a series 2 front bumper expanded view that would be EXTREMELY appreciated. I have looked everywhere, even in my nissan manual that i bought but its only got series 1. Im just doing guesswork atm.

Any help would be appreciated!

O.K so are you going from a series 1 bumper to a series 2 bumper?

If so you will need:

  • The Series 2 Front bumper
  • The Series 2 REO bar (reinforcement bar that the bumper clips/bolts onto)
  • Series 2 headlights
  • Series 2 bonnet (The series 1 bonnet does fit but doesnt look good
  • Series 2 Grille

This is what it looks like with the series 1 bonnet and series 2 everything else:

As for the spacer.... Well I dunno, that could be a bit of foam that I know some other car manufacturers use just to take up space between the metal work and the bumper (My girlfriends old astra had this) But I dont think This is on the series 2...... Perhaps the white clip that holds the bumper on and in position? Did you get a price on it?

If I'm completely off track then disregard All I have said :) lol

Hi,

Nah its a series 2 car already, i took off the bumper and stuff to clean up in the inside and change a few things. I noticed that it was missing clips and stuff, obviously the previous owner had taken it off and didnt put it on correctly.

Yeah im guessing its something around the side that spaces the bumper a bit? Theres a small gap between the grill and the bumper, this extends to the lights but around the side it disappears. Maybe the spacers keep it uniform there.

That being said i just asked for them to give me all the parts for it, they mighta given extra stuff not used. I do still have a few parts i have no idea where they go.

I think ill just ask them to order the LH and RH side again and see how it goes. Atm it looks ok anyway.

Also whats the difference between the series 1 and 2 bonnet?

Oh really?

Ynow, looking at your pic, and seeing your description, i think i have a series 1 bonnet as well!

I knew something was up, and when i saw your pic mine looked very similar.

Series 2 bonnets seem to have more pronounced ridges too it seems.

Ive attached a pic of mine without the grill in, can you confirm for me? Looks series 1 to me.

I have recently been down this path converting a Series 1.5 to a Series II.

There are white plastic clips that sit on top of the front reo that the front bar locates into that are probably the clips that you are talking about. These space the bar in the right place and also provide a rub point between them to stop the front bar from rubbing the paint off the reo and creating rust spots.

Here is a picture of them circled in red.

Is that a brand new reo? If so do you mind telling me how much it was?

Hi victory,

Thanks for the feedback. Yep I've got those clips, they came with the bunch of stuff I got. I don't think they are the spacers the sheet is referring to though.

I've asked Nissan to order some more in so when I get them I'll update you guys

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
