Does the phrase half cut mongrel enter anyone elses mind. I have no idea why people would basterdise a good car by adding a heap of fibreglass and bog to it. I hate any of those half this half that cars except the r34 front on a stagea as it seems to be the only conversion with any merrit just my opnion .

just my opnion

exactly...

I was thinking of doing this conversion myself until xmas time and rego sent me broke, but we'll see in the new year...

Its not as expensive (apparently) as youd think, ive had a word with the guys at Uras who've done a few of these conversions, and (once again, apparently) theres no real crazy modifications needed.

All that is needed for this to work is:

R33/34 conversion fenders - $300-400 roughly

R34 headlights - $5-600 plus

R34 bonnet - around $2-300 or go aftermarket which is around $500

R34 front bar - $1-200 or once again aftermarket $3-400

Budget around $2000 which should be enough. And if you can source the front panels which are the same colour as your car you are laughing!

Those conversion fenders are popping up all over the place now, so they are not that hard to come by. The only thing thats hard to find ive found is the R34 headlights, and if you can source them they are generally quite expensive...

If your going to do it, good luck and take many a picture!!!

:banana:

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

u r a f**king idiot if u think that an r33 has better aerodynamics then an r34 then ur just a retard!!!!!!!

Saw something weird as today - a s15 body with a R34 head but with WRX doors...pretty hot....

Was this in the West again? :devil: That's some weird conversion.

Come on now... No need for that. We all know R32 has the best aerodynamics. :blink:

hhhmmmm. yea that explains why r34's have a severe porpoising problem (!)

r33's squat lower and are far more stable.

im just saying this from seeing hill climbs, talking to drivers

and driving an r33 and an r34.

i think the r33 has best handling and stability.

i have only had a short squirt in a r32 gtst, so i cant really comment on a r32, all i can say is if u have a r32 gtst your gay. soo guttless

Cant really comment on drivability... but I think R33 looks much tougher.

:D:devil:

sorry but i can't find the smiley face with the WTF sign.

:laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

You bring a smile to my face at the end of a shitty day .

Someone find me the WTF sign please LOL!

Yeah, good to see that you're laughing... :(

But sorry to say, a R33 GTR does look tougher than the R34.... but then the R35 owns all... totally up to the eye of the beholder. :P

I have to agree with the R34 guys, the 34 looks better. The back end is pretty tall, noticed on a SAU cruise, but I'd still love one. That said, I think the R33/4 hybrid looks awesome, and is something different at least. Would like to see pics of one without the wide guards though.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
