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

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
