Hi people.

I bought s3 gtr head lights for my s2 skyline r33 gtst. Yes i want to piss people off because i couldnt afford a proper r34 gtr and lucky people deserve to feel like shit when i show up on their rear view mirror. Actually everyone does!

My car actually had been replaced with a standard s1 bonnet and s1 lights after a crash because of a bloody sneaky (all the bad words i can use in the world) to describe the mechanic who drove my car without my permission and then mofo didnt even pay a single effing cent for the repairs God curse that 'stard!

So in revenge i replaced every single component to a an undented used part from donor skylines including the half cut that gave me the front brigdge and the last quartile metal that gets welded at the front end of the sub frame.

I just dont like s1 gtst. I hate it. Its been years now and time to move on. I loved the s3 gtr since its the only legit r33 that isnt ugliest than the uglies. I sourced the lights from Japan from feast auto export. I know the s1 bonnet will fit easily, i doubt the s2 gtst bonnet may not take it lightly if i put it in one cage with the gtr lights.

To be frankly spreading info, s3 gtr lights will fit any r33 gtr or any s1 gtst without a fight. They are just the exact shape and they have the same size and housing needed to fit perfectly.

And the gtr grill doesnt love the gtst at all making the car look like it came home from a fight. Imagine how ugly it looks when you albeit an s1 bonnet, a gtr grille and s1 lights and an aftermarket front bar all to an s2 gtst. So some help would be appreciated. Should i covert the front end to gtr completely now?

And Truesdale Adam Scott from feast auto export from Japan has declined to be of any service to me straight from Japan if anybody knows someone from japan sending parts direct please please please do let me know. From Japan not any where else ready to send me anything anything new or used thanks.

Pics^^^

Unless you wish to modify a Series 2 Bonnet to fit the lights, it's S1 GTS-t or GTR or an aftermarket.

Sorry i didnt apply the lights and take any pics, my car is in another country for the moment. Its been there for more than an year. I had lots of jobs done on car which can never be achieved by the lack of quality labor and amount of services available in the country that i live in. For example no one here knows how to make exhaust manifolds.

Me doing a a full tomei pistons and h beam contods which are already in the block just waiting to earn more money so i could go with tomei solid lifter conversion kit and 10.25 deg in + ex cams. Alot of precisely engineered items that make more power and get more revs than any standard rb25det.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
