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

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
