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..

glad to see you bought a front mount too. looks the goods and the 34 front will look the goods to. will be great.

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 am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
