anyone know if there are matching paint codes for the r34 gtr range and the Stagea range?

i'll be looking to import a stagea in the next few months with the intension of doing a r34 gtr front end swap, i have silver in mind as i think thats the closest from memory. any help would be great..

worse comes to worse i have to get the front repainted...

I am about to do this conversion once my car finally gets here (3 months and still sitting in Japan)

You will need to at least paint the front guards, as you have to use the Masa conversion guards (fibreglass)

R34 GTR guards do not fit!

You will also have to change the top, if not the complete radiator support panel, so this will need painting too

along with bonnet hinges

Good luck trying to find a genuine bonnet and front bar in the colour you want in Australia

I had to get my complete front bar from Japan $1050 and the bonnet I found locally, could only find 2 and only one was under $1000 secondhand.

Expect to pay approx $4500 for parts plus fitting and painting to do the conversion

You could do this alot cheaper with a FG front bar and bonnet. but expect poor fitment and quality.

The Masa guards you will have to get from Japan at approx $1100-1150 pair

I am about to send mine to Sydney to get copied, so If you are still keen let me know.

i've read the other thread that you have been posting in about the conversion and will be following your example, if i can source the parts for the $4-5000 thats fine, budget is $8000 for the conversion, i've done S1-S3 r31 front end conversions myself before which seem to just be the same sort of work but a hell of a lot cheaper..

i might look for an aftermarket bonnet for a gtr rather than a stock one depending on the price..

if i have to panit the guards and maybe bonnet and a few other things i may as well use the stagea code and match the front to the rest of the car..

the plan is to buy the car then while its on its way over get the parts together for the conversion, what are you sending to get copied? if its the front guards i might be very interested, i'd need to get the car purchase set in stone before putting $$ down for parts though..

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
