R33 Series 1 Conversion To Series 2?

[scandyflick]

dont get spacers. just buy wheels that fit.

[TALBO]

no worries mate - its definitely series 1/1.5

That's what I was thinking too, but asked the question because of how narrow it appears (like S2) and then when they couldn't tell me for sure on the phone I was supposed to go down there for a test fit but like most things it a matter of finding time in business hours

[skyline_freak_r33]

so getting spacers arent illegal??

do you rekon it will do damage to my guards or the body??

i mite get my guards rolled... see how we go

[Madaz]

IMO, that's about a perfect balance of kit for a tough as S1 R33 GTSt. Love it and I want that front bar/grille

[central coast person]

hey guys. If you were to do the S2 conversion you would need to change

-Hood

-Headlights

-Reo bar

-Front bar

-grill

What about bonnet hinge?

Front quarter panels?

Also because its a r33 series 1.5 i never had fog lights (driving lights) so when i change to a series 2 bar does the car have to be re- wired ??? do i need to change the stalk to get the fog lights to work?

I am doing this conversion as my M-spec has had a front ender and i can convert to a series 2 for $2500 inc brand new carbon bonnet with 4 tuff looking scoops on each side and a big scoop in the middle so its a definite and im going to make a tuff s2

Need help as i have all the parts to get on thursday but not sure if my series 1 guards are the same as series 2!!!!! HELP PLEASE

It's just got a GTR kit on it? :S

and looks hot as FK

[rhys5169]

or just buy a gtr.... and actually have some re-sale value on your car?

[Inline 6]

why play pretend

come on there not that expensive, were not talking about converting a cheap dato into a ferrari gto here. Just spend the extra $500 you save yourself after all the conversion process and get the real thing.

Hey, did you end up doing it? I just recently had a front ender as well :l

Just wanna know how you went and what else needs to be changed, hinges??

[sean133]

if you want a perfect conversion do all of the above... i simply just put the series 2 front bar on my series 1 and i reckon it looks better without the s2 bonnet, grill, etc. just my opinion tho.... the only fault is the front bar is set in a bit under the lights, like 10mm or so, other than that mine is a perfect fit.. s1 grill looks pretty good above the s2 bar aswell imo. thought id try something different.

the fog lights you do need to change the stalk, run a new line, relay, switch.... etc. or you can just tap them into the parkers lights like i did haha.

cheapest way to convert to s2 is wait for a wreckers to wreck a 33 and make a deal with em or something for all the parts. jap motorsports on magill rd offered me everything for a s2 conversion for a grand, obviously wouldve just needed a spray after that.

hope some of this info helped ...

Does that mean you'd be driving around with the fog lights on at any given time when your normal driving lights are on? cops will ping you for foglights on without the presence of fog

[sean133]

yea i suppose... i just dont want to spend the money for something i honestly dont care about .. perhaps i will try it myself do you reckon its alright to just have a seperate switch on your dash somewher for the fog lights?

[Luciano]

Definitely hook up a switch, because you'll care after the coppers slug you a $200 (approx) fine!!!

They(fog lights) are very handy. I drove the sedan up to a friends place right up top of Norton Summit last night, and it was actually foggy on the way home after midnight. Fog lights helped quite a bit.

[sean133]

you raise a good point i will do something about it soon haha...
