FITTING Nismo R33 bumper to Eunos 30x - By 'Mr Custom' ;-)



  • @02b3bb4958=nightstalker:

    Should be another choice.

    "Wouldn't want to do it."

    I could understand an RX7 bumper or MX5 as they are from the same manufacturer, but not using a Nissan bumper, don't see the point.

    I'm doing it cos it cost nothing. and can't afford a new (even second hand) bumper… i really don't care if it's not Mazda... if it fits and looks good, i really don't care... its more that i can now cut'n'shut...

    it's not like i was determined to go and find a "mismatched" bodykit to try to look like a twat, it cost NOTHING. and still have the stock one if i wanna change it again. but thatnks for the comments.



  • I must say that looks like a very neat job. It's starting to come together quite nicely.. Well done to you for the "outside the box" thinking

    Hammy



  • now ive seen it all together it look realy well great work



  • It was really touch and go at the start… never plastic welded let alone done something this big before... just knowing i was cutting up a genuine NISMO bumper was stressful enough.

    it took alotta guts to get the powertools out.. :-/



  • Wow. That looks freakin' awesome! Moar pics! :D

    Looks like standard Skyline GTS/GTS-T bumper to me?

    +1
    Spec 2 if I'm not mistaken?



  • Everyone I ask says it's a series 2 Nismo…? meh. yeah, thanks for the positive comments guys. ;-)



  • TBH mate, no-one would give away anything Nismo.

    Pretty sure it's not.



  • He's my best mate… I did a massive custom boot install for him, labour alone would have been in the thousands...

    so instead of paying me he gave me his bar, cos he got a GTR style one.

    It does look better than most kits out there. If I were you I'd lose the vents and the twin side light/indicator bit (or relocate them and use the two holes as part of the induction :wink: ).

    Fair play on the work you have put in, it does look well done (just not my cup of tea).



  • If nismo stuff is so rare + valuable, why not post some pix of you cutting it up on some nissan forums :wink:

    My mate did this with some uber rare original 70's Ford Escort rear lights!
    He drilled out the middle of them and put a blue light in the middle (for the retro look)

    The whole club disowned him! Haha!
