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...

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

Said he who drives around with an SII wing.... :D:(

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.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
