Hey fellas,

As the topic suggests, anyone done a R33-R34 front conversion yet? I am very interested in doing this - how hard would it be, what would be involved and what would costs look like?

What can I say, a flawless R33 body and tough back lights with a breath-taking R34 front bar - damn, if only such a car is sold on the market... no other car would come close.

Please post up some pictures and/or your experiences.

Thanks all.

When I read the subject line I thought "oh no, dont tell me..."

but when I saw the pics I thought that actually doesn't look too bad.

I'm all for making your car unique as long as it still looks good and IMO this fits the bill perfectly.

If you did this you'd have one VERY unique ride >_< would turn heads for sure!

That looks tough as! I probably couldn't justifying spending so much to do it though. Probably better off selling the 33 and getting a 34, but even then you wouldn't have a 34 gtr kit on it.

just buy an r34...

i dont know why ppl do this shit....

its like 34 gtr fronts on stageas, i dont like them either.

waste of time and money imo.

people do this because apart from the front nose all r34 look shit house. the rear is 10 metres off the ground and porpoise like a bitch. they are big fat bricks with no incling of aerodynamics.

atleast here u still have the nice flowing lines of a r33 with the sharp bulbous nose of the 34.

best of both worlds

u see how it looks low and sharp. where as if he bought a 34 is would look shit

nice job, but still not worth the cash

for the money you'd pay you can get a 34

Actually, it doesn't cost all that much considering.

A couple of thousand inc panels.

And considering people are struggling to sell R33s for $13000 these days, it's a far sight less then buying an decent 34.

Not sure what 34's you've been looking at. The only reason that 33 looks low is because of the rear bar. Get a similar thing on a 34 and it'll look low as.

Couldn't have said it any better... you stole my words... exactly mate, and this is totally personal - but the R33 has very fine looking lines, a great shape and a timeless look to it... the front is tough as too so overall, in my opinion; the R33 if modified cosmetically right (or R33 GTR stock) looks awesome... having said that... the R34 front is (especially on the GTR) is... damn... I'm stuck for words... totally jaw-dropping... very nice... hence, a lot of people do this conversion as you get best of both worlds...

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
