Hi all,

I have an R33 S1 that I absolutely love... I have rebuilt the engine, etc so I don't want to get rid of it but I really love the look of the R333 S2 front!

My question is... How hard or easy is it to convert the fron part of my body to the S2 front?

I just love the S2 front, it's shaper and more defined..

I'd love the bonnet, front bar, etc...

Anybody know any info about doing this?

saw this done to a s1 on the weekend. all they had changed was the front bar.

Thanks but I want to do the complete front... I want the bonnet and I have a feeling that other parts have to be replaced to do this...

they are sharper on the midle part of the headlights next to the grill. I dont think there is any differance on the part that goes into the guard.

have not tested but just going by looks

why would you wanna make your s1 look like an s2 ?

why ?????

have you noticed the R33 gtr's all kept the s1 front end? it's bettererer IMO.

also what ctjet said, if youre going to all the trouble, why have it look stock. go with something different.

k, i'll shut up now.

the wing was on the car when i got it.

but i was talking about the relatively expensive and dramatic conversion to S2 front end. why bother?

So true.. i reckon Standard S2 looks like a magna :(

Might aswell spend your money on a different look, eg bodykit.

my mate got a set of aftermarket s2 headlights for his s1. the guards line up, the there is a space between the lights and the bonnet, and also between the lights and the front guard.

so you will need the bonnet, front bar and reo. and lights to do the conversion.

im pretty sure they're all a straight swap.

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
