R33.5.. Confused?

[NicsR33]

hi all, i bought another skyline w00t but im a bit confused about wtf the guy did before me when it comes to styling

its a 1993 skyline so its a series 1, but its got series 2 head lights. what im not sure about is, does fitting series 2 headlights require a new series 2 bonnet/guards/frontbar/grill?

reason im asking is because i wish to change the frontbar over to another style, however im not sure if i should be looking for a frontbar to suit a series 1 or series 2.. i dont remember the bonnet coming down as much too (i used to have another 1993 r33 series 1) so its almost like the front end had been swapped to a series 2

could someone in the know please explain whats involved in changing it from a series 1 to a series 2 and if i should be enquiring for s1 or s2 frontbar/grill?

many thanks in advanced

Depends how he has gone about fitting it i suppose and if its a genuine bar he fitted properly. Looking at the pic its got the series 2 bonnet, bumper, lights and grill. They are all different to series 1 so but i think the guards would be the same, hope that helps a little.

Thats a series 2 front end.. so you will need a series 2 bar/grill to fit between the headlights..

To convert a S1 to a S2 you will need a front bar, grill, headlights, bonnet and reo..

cool! thanks guys that helps heaps mostly worried that the s1 and s2 guards were diff..

they are. just slightly. the head lights are a different shape in the corner so the guards match that

more than likely a sign the car has been in a front end collision. or he really wanted a s2 but didn't want to pay for one.

as for changing front bars, if you are going aftermarket then it shouldn't make much difference as it shouldn't be affected by the lights or bonnet, etc. in fact you could probably even put a stock s1 front bar back on and have it all fit up.
