wow that really would be unique!

r33 GTR could look quite cool, with black v spec lip down the bottom, would be tough as.

But I gotta say I'm lovin the look of the wagon with the conversion... Hmmm makes me want to consider a stag... they are much more practical... :rofl:

:blink: loooook`sss AWESOME DUDE it has to be the YELLOW just mint BRYCEY :P i think it`s a STAND OUT ,Are they the wheel`s ???,dude have a look at the last pulsar side indicator bling fit in well on series 2.WELL DONE IT WILL INSPIRE US ALL :rofl: ,CHEER`S chuckie.

Hey Brycey im still in envy of your car mate it looks great :)

I headed down to Nissan yesterday and got some prices for anyone interested... These were trade prices from memory

these are all genuine r34 gtr parts

Hinges - $171 for the pair

non zenon headlights - $1150 for the pair

zenon headlights - $3630 for the pair

bumper reo bar - $355.80

im still up in the air about going the zenon lights at the moment, they are a damn site more expensive but still tempting. I found a brand new set on Yahoo Japan for $2800-$3000 delivered from Slidewize imports.

also Brycey i cant wait for some more pics, especially of the headlight mounts and the cutting of the radiator support u mentioned earlier.

hey brad u can get ballasts, leads and globes to suit any light type for around $150 on ebay so unless the headlight enclosure are shaped different go the cheaper 1.

Thanks Jerome, good info, so Zenon is the same as HID yes? have u got your zenons working yet mate? how much of a difference is there between normal and zenons for vision at night?

unique1 - nice list of prices! it took me about 45 minutes to get prices on the Xenon headlights and the R34 front indicator enclosures at my local Nissan parts outlet (hopeless!) so i just gave up on them. i got the same price for the Xenon's, and the orange indicators were around $80pr.

as jippa mentioned its much cheaper to buy non-xenon headlights and install a HID kit, you'll save a fist full of cash. i prefer the design of the Xenon headlight enclosure but the non-xenon style has really grown on me, especially with the eyelids!

cheers Chris :blink::devil:

here are some new pictures from today. i kept them at a high resolution so just a warning if you have dialup! few things to point out - the bonnet needs some slight adjustment, the bonnet also needs the rubber that goes between the front bar and bonnet, the plastic inner guards need to be re-installed, the rear bar needs some new chrome strips, the side moulds and rear wing need to be re-sprayed, engine bay needs a re-spray, all the engine parts and piping (plus plenum) need a re-spray, CCubed is currently working on a v-spec diffuser - which will be fantastic as it will bring the front end down alittle bit, a few other odd's-n-ends and mild mod's down the track, but for the moment im pretty happy with how she stands :sick:

have a great new year!

Looking great Brycey, i emailed CCubed and he replied with great and info and pics, definately good customer service, gonna order the bits and pieces through him asap once i sort out what i need. I picked up a r34 gtr genuine front bumper yesterday from a mate for $300, the bonnet and east bear front lip fell through and is sold so i missed that dammit :D

Im definately gonna go the lower lip, vspec or east bear one (i think they are the same?) to make the front lower.

have u got little flares on the rear gaurds? is that part of the rear kit?

nice work mate a very interesting spin on the stag. we will have to meet up so i can see it, and you can see ours.

Boz

yeah mate for sure :devil: let me know

Excellent customer service :blush: great to hear that you're getting parts! took me a very long time to get my collection happening.. that’s extremely cheap for a genuine front bumper! nice!

CCubed make both the skirts (the lip and diffuser) for the R34 if you didn’t know.. and yeah on the rear they are flares, genuine Dayz option, i had them on the front aswell but they are made for S2 guards :bunny:

nice 1 brycey. i reckon you have got a few people interested in the conversion now. what u gona do bout that number plate blocking all your cold air to ya fmic?

i trimmed my plate down to fit in the bars recess for plates. not shure if its illegal but it looks the goods and being a yellow plate will blend in good. i kept the state name and trimmed off the black border

post-32337-1199059488_thumb.jpg

defiantly going to mount the plates in the correct position, i think its actually illigal as it sits at the moment :D ... i plan on getting some slim front plates.. just gotta find a number plate extender/mount for it, and think of some plates!

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
