use the occasion to buy a c/f bonnet, aftermarket front bar - something with a wide mouth opening (for more exposure to the fmic) could be a vertex wide mouth, or trust items or copies off, new fmic (if u dont already have one) upgraded N1 headlights....depending on how extensice the damage, wider front fender-guards/gtr guards...etc....if ya doin all that, u can also create a new paint scheme!!!

Gd luck

thanks guys for the help, my budget is round about $2000 maybe $2500. im only a first year apprentice so the incomes not great! i found a stock bonnet cheap so ill most likely use that but ill look into the kits u suggested. thanks again

p.s ill try and fix the pic

one more question, do number plates have to be displayed in the centre of the bumper or a can the go off to the side like you sometimes see in mags???

I'm not sure about other states, but in Vic you just have to be able to see the plates at a 45 degree angle each way (45 from left and right) as far as I know.

Hey champ, the r34 conversion looks awesome but i think there is a fair amount of fabrication invovled in the mounting of the fenders and bonnet and headlights. but u should check it out (Bee-R r32r43 conversion) it certainly will break the bank.

I have recently had an accident i wasn't in the car. The hand brake slipped in the car park at work and she rolled a whole 100 meters into a fence. front right hand side too! lol After consideration, I have decided on a trial (copy) front bar with m spec side skirts and a vented fibreglass bonnet! ;) should take a fair while to get everything together

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
