R33 Series One And Two

[ABuSD]

Hey guys, i want to stick a serie 2 front bar on my series one R33, can it be done?

Surely there must be someone on here that has done it if its possible.

I was told u have to change the lights cos they arent as round as the bar, i know if i change the lights i have to change the bonnet but what about the bar?

I dont want series 2 lights but i want the bar.

Cheers in advance!

y do u want a series 2 bar specifically, what about some of the aftermarker bars? gtr bar, etc.

i think u have to change, bonnet lites and even possibly the two front guards. Is it worth it ?

[ABuSD]

Nah well then its not worth it, i want an aftermarket bar made specifically for series 2

[**JaR**]

yeah why would you want to swap a stock bar for a stock bar :S

see my pic <<< stock bar

it looks ok, i jst hate the stock rear bar, hence the upgrading of it soon

Look in forsale section, theres someone selling an 94 model 33, with a series 2 front end conversion.. Best to speak to him directly and ask him what has to be done..

But im sure there will be a lot of changing involved..

Edit: might be selling my front bar in a months time.. if you interested.. comes wit lip also.. but i will post that up, when i want to sell it..

i still dont know why you'd wanna change a stock bar for a stock bar, makes no sense to me

[RANDY]

Since the bonnet shape is different, wouldn't you need to change it along with the front bar? That could get expensive! =-o

[LiQuid IcE]

yeh when I upgraded my front bar I wanted to stick my old front bar on my dads S1 R33... but after some research found out you needed to change the headlights,guards and bonnet.

I'm sure you could stick it on there without doing these things but it would stick outin places.

If your getting the series 2 front bar for cheap or free then I don't see anything wrong in sticking it on the series 1. it looks better, specially if you didn't have even the stock front bodykit to begin with.

[ABuSD]

Thanks guys, and liquid, i want the explosive kit thats why m asking, u know the kit u got on the car in your sig

I may have to get it modified to fit, where did u get your kit from Liquid? Please dont say Jetspeed!!

[LiQuid IcE]

hehe nah it's a jetspeed kit but I didn't get it through them.

I'll PM you my guys details tonight.

u can modify it to fit the series 1 i guess but i dunno bout he costs involved

[ABuSD]

cheers

my series 1 has a series 2 front bar but I didn't do the conversion so I couldn't tell exactly what needs to be changed.

The S2 bar will fit but doesn't line up around the headlights. The light hang over the bar by about 20mm at the front and on the sides they sit in from the bar about the same.

I am not sure whether you need to change the reo bar, but you definately don't need to change lights and bonnet if you can live with the clearance issues around the lights.

Personally I reckon the S1 type M bars look better anyway. I will be looking at swapping mine when one comes up in the right colour, state and price (ie. probably never )

[ABuSD]

yeah, i prefer S1 better but im after the explosive kit, like on liquid ice's car, i will get it adjusted for my lights i think.

Umm, i've got a STOCK s2 frontbar on my s1 r33.

It lines up ok, thou the stock s1 headlights stickout abit. if i was going to do it right i would just grab the s2 headlights,bonnet,guards and frontbar to make it look nice

Far away mine looks ok upclose is a different story
