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.

    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
    • Yeah, I did some research and found out that some things are different.
    • Makes sense, thanks! Consider me very impressed. And I very much appreciate the effort in documentating all of it. You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people this reaches who search for things online. Anyways, I shall continue to read all of it, understand maybe a quarter, and hope that some of it sticks if I ever end up in a situation where it's relevant
    • 'Did' work on them is more accurate ~ on the R31 Skyline forum, you can spot me as 'Solder'... I've written quite a bit about the 4R01 boxes there, and I ended up reverse-engineering the older TCU type operations, so we could fudge a custom TCU to pull off other tricks...and like all things, when you do it a lot, see the failure patterns, have to find parts etc etc, your head ends up filled with whys and wherefores... there was a reason Nissan went with these in more than 60models over 16+ years... all in all, the JR401E based design is an interesting study, as Nissan changed things over the years in a never ending battle against them lunching on themselves <grin>...by the time the RE4R01A rev.C came out (often referred to as RE4R01B), they'd more or less perfected the design...
