Ok, I recently went to nissan and bought all the stuff to put on a R33 series 2 front bumper correctly.

Got everything but a SPACER-BMPR,LH, p/n: NI-62095-24U00

They said it was coming from Japan, 4 weeks turned to 8 weeks, and now they cant find it in store.

Does anyone know what it is? Im guessing theres a RH and LH one, and it spaces the bumper from the car body around the sides. I can probably fabricate something myself, im guessing its not fancy, it was $3. But i need details before i do that.

Also if someone has a series 2 front bumper expanded view that would be EXTREMELY appreciated. I have looked everywhere, even in my nissan manual that i bought but its only got series 1. Im just doing guesswork atm.

Any help would be appreciated!

O.K so are you going from a series 1 bumper to a series 2 bumper?

If so you will need:

  • The Series 2 Front bumper
  • The Series 2 REO bar (reinforcement bar that the bumper clips/bolts onto)
  • Series 2 headlights
  • Series 2 bonnet (The series 1 bonnet does fit but doesnt look good
  • Series 2 Grille

This is what it looks like with the series 1 bonnet and series 2 everything else:

As for the spacer.... Well I dunno, that could be a bit of foam that I know some other car manufacturers use just to take up space between the metal work and the bumper (My girlfriends old astra had this) But I dont think This is on the series 2...... Perhaps the white clip that holds the bumper on and in position? Did you get a price on it?

If I'm completely off track then disregard All I have said :) lol

Hi,

Nah its a series 2 car already, i took off the bumper and stuff to clean up in the inside and change a few things. I noticed that it was missing clips and stuff, obviously the previous owner had taken it off and didnt put it on correctly.

Yeah im guessing its something around the side that spaces the bumper a bit? Theres a small gap between the grill and the bumper, this extends to the lights but around the side it disappears. Maybe the spacers keep it uniform there.

That being said i just asked for them to give me all the parts for it, they mighta given extra stuff not used. I do still have a few parts i have no idea where they go.

I think ill just ask them to order the LH and RH side again and see how it goes. Atm it looks ok anyway.

Also whats the difference between the series 1 and 2 bonnet?

Oh really?

Ynow, looking at your pic, and seeing your description, i think i have a series 1 bonnet as well!

I knew something was up, and when i saw your pic mine looked very similar.

Series 2 bonnets seem to have more pronounced ridges too it seems.

Ive attached a pic of mine without the grill in, can you confirm for me? Looks series 1 to me.

I have recently been down this path converting a Series 1.5 to a Series II.

There are white plastic clips that sit on top of the front reo that the front bar locates into that are probably the clips that you are talking about. These space the bar in the right place and also provide a rub point between them to stop the front bar from rubbing the paint off the reo and creating rust spots.

Here is a picture of them circled in red.

Is that a brand new reo? If so do you mind telling me how much it was?

Hi victory,

Thanks for the feedback. Yep I've got those clips, they came with the bunch of stuff I got. I don't think they are the spacers the sheet is referring to though.

I've asked Nissan to order some more in so when I get them I'll update you guys

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
