I have started the front end conversion finally. Once complete I will do a "How to do step by step"

Process so far

Strip standard front and side skirts

Remove radiator, AC condensor, and all other parts fitted to radiator support

Remove radiator support

Fit fibreglass guards

Make custom bonnet hinge spacers

Mount bonnet hinges and bonnet and align bonnet and guards gaps

Fit front bar reo and headlights and align and fit front bar cover

Reshape inner guards/skirt behind radiator panel to suit r34 radiator support angle behind headlights

This is where I am up to. Need approx 1-2 more hours work fitting radiator support and one last trail fitment of the whole front. Once that is gone and perfect the radiator support panel can be welded in.

Then it will be just a respray of the full front and front doors, and put it all back together

More details and photo's to come, just need more time :laugh:

silly question time - why the fibro guards? are they any different to the OEM steelies?

Looks good BTW

oh and ummm... theyre not... fibro....

However, should you choose to use fibro guards, please use a water-based paint when you get to that point - it's better for you AND the environment! :(

Hey DS; looking hot! Good to see all our goodies have played their part in your build!

Can't wait to see the final result!

Unfortunitly R34 GTT bonnet hinges are different to GTR and the R34 GTT bonnet catch is the same as the Stagea, so I had to buy genuine new GTR hinges and GTR bonnet catch

Still have not fitted the R34 brakes yet, but will do soon.

Where did u get those side skirts from???

They came with the car from JP

There genuine Dolphin as is the rear bar. front bar is M's Factory

Motovation Imports down the Gold Coast has the moulds for the dolphin kit

Grille sold to EAG4IT

He's got an S1 :P what would he need it for?

Front bar still availiable, needs minor repair $300

My 40th coming up this weekend - I'll ask my good wife, she's feeling pleasant towards me atm.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
