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..

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
