Putting On A Series 2 Front Bumper

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

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
