Hey guys, i want to stick a serie 2 front bar on my series one R33, can it be done?

Surely there must be someone on here that has done it if its possible.

I was told u have to change the lights cos they arent as round as the bar, i know if i change the lights i have to change the bonnet but what about the bar?

I dont want series 2 lights but i want the bar.

Cheers in advance!

Look in forsale section, theres someone selling an 94 model 33, with a series 2 front end conversion.. Best to speak to him directly and ask him what has to be done..

But im sure there will be a lot of changing involved..

Edit: might be selling my front bar in a months time.. if you interested.. comes wit lip also.. but i will post that up, when i want to sell it..

yeh when I upgraded my front bar I wanted to stick my old front bar on my dads S1 R33... but after some research found out you needed to change the headlights,guards and bonnet.

I'm sure you could stick it on there without doing these things but it would stick outin places.

If your getting the series 2 front bar for cheap or free then I don't see anything wrong in sticking it on the series 1. it looks better, specially if you didn't have even the stock front bodykit to begin with.

Thanks guys, and liquid, i want the explosive kit thats why m asking, u know the kit u got on the car in your sig :(

I may have to get it modified to fit, where did u get your kit from Liquid? Please dont say Jetspeed!!

my series 1 has a series 2 front bar but I didn't do the conversion so I couldn't tell exactly what needs to be changed.

The S2 bar will fit but doesn't line up around the headlights. The light hang over the bar by about 20mm at the front and on the sides they sit in from the bar about the same.

I am not sure whether you need to change the reo bar, but you definately don't need to change lights and bonnet if you can live with the clearance issues around the lights.

Personally I reckon the S1 type M bars look better anyway. I will be looking at swapping mine when one comes up in the right colour, state and price (ie. probably never :P )

Umm, i've got a STOCK s2 frontbar on my s1 r33.

It lines up ok, thou the stock s1 headlights stickout abit. if i was going to do it right i would just grab the s2 headlights,bonnet,guards and frontbar to make it look nice

Far away mine looks ok upclose is a different story

    • To be determined, Luke, to be determined. 😁 Definitely the car
    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
