This will be a good one to watch - see what differences (if any) to Darrin Spencer's conversion: definitely keep us updated as much as possible, Brycey: From NY taxicab to R34 - it deserves its decepticon badge!

Wow dude!..

mmm... staggy 34...

Really looking forward to this!..

Please keep us updated!..

Any idea on the end cost of the build?

will keep this topic updated for sure :domokun:

not sure what the final cost will be yet.. it hasnt been cheap thats for sure!

alot of the decision has been inspired from Darrin - also many thanks for all the time he spent giving me info :) i think the main difference between mine and Darrin’s conversion is that i will be keeping the standard radiator support.. should be interesting to see how it turns out!!

hahaha NY taxi :) i wont miss that.. the car has gone through a few stage's..

transformers. robots in disguise

yeah mate it would look kinda silly without a FMIC filling out the front, should be good :thumbsup:

looks good bryce, looking forward to seeing it when its complete

cheers man :thumbsup: im only changing the front end because i want to be more like you :D:O hehe

THEIR SO FREAKING SEXY!!

They just look SOOOO good!.. It makes you wonder.. "why wasnt there a ute version released from Nissan!?!"

Take the rediculous wong off and you have something that 50 SQUILLION times better than any Holden or Ford ute ever released! .. it just looks right..

Except you can't open the rear tray, so it's not a very useful ute. If someone did the conversion well so you could use it properly it would definately be horn. AWD Turbo Ute, no one has made one of those before.

Actually that's an awesome idea for my car if I can't sell it.... *ponders*

That's nuts, Bryce! This'll be hot to see when it's all finalised...

yeah i cant wait! :thumbsup:

Gonna be one sexy mofo when it's done mate!

When mine gets here let's hug it out with cameras. >_<

will do :unsure:

good stuff brycey

cheers joe :wub:

Wicked project man! i love the R34 fronts on them and i was pondering the thought for quite some time but i love the 260RS front. I don't think i could go and change is face be like landing a hot chick with everything then askin her to have reconstructive surgery. But i'm lovin what your doing will be watchin this one for sure!! You are keeping the Yellow colour right?

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
