DMD (one of the sponsors) carries the kit from memory.

We've done a couple of R32 to R34 frontend swaps at Driftline but they were using custom made fenders that blended R32 rears with R34 fronts, R34 front bumper and support and R34 GTR bonnets.

With these kits, the mounting points have been made to suit r32 yes? So buying front bar and bonnet seperate will not work i figure ( just buy the front guards to join with the r32 body)?

not sure about the Bee*R kits, but the way we do it you can use any R34 front bar and bonnet... obviously a GTt bar will need a GTt bonnet to look seamless, and a GTR bumper will need a GTR bonnet.

i have been trying to find one but i cannot read japanese all too well and all the websites i found only deal in japanese,so if you can find a website from japan that stocks these,and speaks english than i would appreciate that very much.

uhhh i guess you should try asking the traders on gtrcanada.com

getting a Bee*R kit out of australia is kinda pointless cos you'll pay for shipping from japan to australia and then from australia to canada.

also you gotta consider what the cost of getting R34 parts are gonna be in canada, coz you'll need the R34 indicators, headlights, bumper support etc.

i talked to the guys from racespec and they said everything i need for 3000 plus shipping so probly 4 i would imagine.its not like i need it right now anyways,i got the whole winter to rot the body off of this car then get a nice kit for spring :worship:

well the mounting locations for the adjusters on the headlights would be different so there would be some fabrication involved,like making adapter brackets,but all in all that should be fairly simple

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
