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..

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
