^^^ Lol

you have to change at least the bonnet, and possibly the grill

even after that, im not sure they would even fit... If you want, i know a guy who can probably answer your question...

i don't mean that i asked on skylinesaustralia and got no answer i meant i've asked around a bit in adelaide and got no good helpful answers.

why exactly do you want to do this? i dont see any benefits.

Why do you want to do that conversion anyway? To much mucking around. Rather see if you can find some series III headlights. They are the same shape as the series I, so will be easy to fit and they have a projector headlight.

Hi, i want to do this due to the series II lights looking a lot better and i dont want to sell my car (there's a long story behind that but i wont go there), what years did the series III lights come out in?I know some people think i'm better off not doing it all together or selling it and buying a series II, but i have my reasons and it would be something different compared to whats out there.like i said any help is greatly appreciated!!!My car is making 206rwhw and i'm getting some 18" rays wheels in the near future and some Tein coil overs, followed by a head gasket, oil cooler and a HKS BB turbo not sure which one yet but i'm aiming at 300rwkw or a but more on high boost!but thought while i'm changing the mags and lowering it i want to make it look better so i thought the series II headlight conversion would do the car more justice.thanks for the helpful suggestions so far, keep em coming CHEERS

From memory the series III's are only '97 and '98 model GTR's, so I know those lights will be hard to find. Its what I'm looking at doing sometime down the track. To do the conversion you are looking at doing, I'd say that you'd hav to change the front quarters and the bonnet at a minimum. I'd say the front bumpers are the same. I'f they're not, it would be close enough not to notice.

I'd say with this in mind you are looking at two options:

1. If you want your car to have a stock front end, try looking for someone wrecking their R33 series II. There are plenty of ppl around wrecking due to rear end damage. Try getting the stuff you need that way.

2. If you want aftermarket bonnet and front quarters, buy parts that are designed for series II's and fit them all with the lights. There are plenty of companies that make different quarters and bonnets. Have a look around.

Or if you like you could do a combination of these two options eg. stock quarters from wreck, aftermarket bonnet

Check this page out. They have bonnets and front quarters for series II's

I doubt there would be any difference in the mounting points for the different parts between the two models. From the look of the two cars I would say to fit the headlights you would need to change the bonnet and grill. The indicator section of the two lights appear the same so you shouldn't need to change your quarter panels. Once this is done the front bar may not match up with the lights or grill. I think it would fit but may look strange, you could grab a standard front bar or any aftermarket one to suit a series 2.

all you need is a series 2 bonnet, series 2 headlights, series 2 grill, the front bar will sit somewhat okay. but doesnt look nice in my opinion. the front quarter panels are exactly the same, same as mounting points for the headlights. easiest way is to get an aftermarket r33 series 2 front bar with the grill attached. looks alot nicer than an r33 series 1 front. thats why i did it. good luck.

[Kaido_RR]

I do a quick summary for you:

S2 conversation requires : S2 headlights, S2 Bonnet, S2 Front Guards, S2 Front Bar And Grill

S3 GTR conversation requires: S3 GTR headlights, S3 GTR Bonnet ( Not s1 or s2 gtr bonnet as they are different), GTR guards, gtr grill and gtr front bar.

BUT! having said that, someone on HK skyline club put s3 gtr headlights onto his gts-t without changing anything(I THINK), he just modded it, i see if i can find the link

Series II headlights are smaller than the Series I and yes better looking

I know this because I fried my S2 headlights and bought some S1s since the S2s were too expensive.

So you can fit the S2 headlights straight onto the S1 and all you need is a S2 grill.

The parts required;

Sii Bonnet

Sii Headlights

Sii Reo

Sii Front bar inc. Grill (aftermarket or standard)

Sii Indicators

Wiring for fog lights as my Si didnt have fog lights.

Si fenders are the same as a Sii so there ok to use.

Cheers
