R33 Series II vs. R33 Series I

[mcada]

Hi All,

Just wanted to know a couple of things. The series II R33 had a couple of visual and technical changes compared to Series I - some say good, some say bad.

Anyway, my question is this: can a Series II headlight assembly fit to a Series I R33? It would appear that it is somewhat less rounded in shape and may require some cutting into the bonnet, but otherwise looks like they fit.

Any ideas?

Please use the search function.

Short answer is no they do not fit.

Long answer is yes, with a lot of money, you could buy the bonnet, guards, front bar, grill and you would probably have a series II front end conversion the headlights would fit onto.

but, I have not tried it myself and I am against just believing everything i read on the internet. If i had a S2 headlight I would at least try it out then report my findings.

People said 350z 18" track rims wouldnt fit on my car and here I am driving around on them.

Wrong Sewid,

My friend over here in WA has a series 1 with series 2 headlights so it can be done. Also saw a s1 for sale in the autotrader the other week with series 2 headlights.

Um, HIPSI, did your friend change bonnet and surrounds too cause it's totally a different shape of the headlights on S2 (more square)? Also the front grille won't fit (trust me, I tried to sell my S2 grille to a guy with S1 and wouldn't fit right). Check your facts mate.

Get some pics. I did say I would like to see it done. Ask your mate how he did it.

The grill not fitting is the least of the problems, you could easily fiberglass up something to fit.
