Need Help Identifying An R33 Grill

[Priestley]

I've got a grill here and don't know which series it came off. If anyone knows can you let me know?

[PM-R33]

Series 1 judging by the incredibly small pic.

[LiQuid IcE]

its came on a few S2's, but not as common as the standard grill.

Definitely not series 1

pretty sure most s2 have the silver 's' badge on the bonnet (not grill, and not red) so i would assume its a s1 picuted

[PM-R33]

Definitely not series 1

That's the grille there, series 1.

I've seen that grill on a few Series 2's was deffinetly on one i test drove, but after seeing the photo above maybe they came on both??? or has that car pictured been changed its hard to tell.

Ok technically they are a series 1.5 1995 model. The series 1.5 had a series II rear (colour coded SKYLINE garnish and spoiler update) with a slightly updated front bumper and grill. Drivers airbag was standard on them and the passenger airbag was optional.

However i still class it as a series 1 since it has series 1 headlights (or in the case of the photo i posted it has series III GTR headlights, which as we all know are the same shape as series 1 headlights) and had a series 1 engine. Series II were 1996-1997 and had a normal series II empty grill, not the one above.

Can't say for sure with such a small picture, but there is a S2 specific grill like that. As Liquid ice said its not as common as the standard series 2 grill, but its not the same as the one PM-R33 posted, as that is rounded on the edges to suit the series 1.

I'll post some photos of the series 2 version when I'm on my PC

Thanks for the replies guys, but it seems divided on what it is.

A little more info might have helped in the first place. Its gun metal grey which I don't believe the series 2 came out in, but I pulled the grill of my series 1.5 and tried this one and it didn't seem to fit.

Perhaps a better picture will help.

I would say it is definitely a s2 grill.

I would say it is definitely a s2 grill.

Thanks mate! That was driving me to drink.

And the grill is gun metal on all of them? This seems odd.

[FLN75S]

From your pic its def series 2 you can tell by the straight sides with no rounded corners

So what year models are those Series II's? Are they a factory grill or something aftermarket?

They where factory from what i understand and must of been an option on all series 2's from 96-98.

s1.5 don't have colour coded boot garnishes and that grille definitely look like s2
