Hey guys,

Just need some help and a couple of suggestions on what needs to be done to change the front of my R33 to a R34 face. I'm hopefully going to buy some panels from another member, but thats still pending.

I've only heard of one other WA person doing this, so i'm interested in doin it too.

I need to know, what reinforcement parts do i need to get to change the face?

All help would be greatfull and hopefully i'll make this work, yay lol.

As long as you know you need the bonnet, fenders, front bar and lights to do it.

I remember reading a thread on here about some one who did it, and the hardest part was mounting the lights from memory. They had to make some brackets or something as they sit in a different position to the R33. Do a search, mabe you'll stumble across that thread. He gives a pretty detailed explination of what he did :)

Yeah, thats looks wiked. I was talking to a friend and he was saying it wont be as simple as i thought. If u look at the 33 and 34 closely the 33 fender panel finishes before the A frame and the 34 fender panel finishes after the frame. He sed i'll need to get adjustable fenders. :S

How much do you think the bonnet, headlights, fenders, and front bumper would cost all up?? I need to give another member a price but dont really know wat a realistic price would be. Cheers.

You will need conversion fenders, the R34 fenders wont bolt straight up.

Not sure about how reliable VIVA is, but it should give you an idea. Although you can merge R33 and an R34 fenders to get something a lot stronger, altho it will be more work.

Good luck, if I was keeping my R33, this is the conversion I wanted to do.

One word: Fibrevision. :happy:

"Body modifications completed in May 2007 for a total cost of $28,000"

God damn may as well bought a 34R straight away. :|

Wouldn't it just have made sense to buy an R34 instead if that's the look you wanted?? If you had it for a long time like Kym has then it might make sense if you were willing to pay decent money to make it happen, but in the end it will cost more then getting a very nice kit put on. Each to their own but that's just my opinion

yeah he could just buy a R34, but you wouldnt really much stand out..cause it'll be another R34 GTT or GTR

have a R33 with R34 and be the only one in W.A or second one..

you stand out heaps and people will remember it more..

if that makes sense..

then agian paying big bucks for it..good luck with the project

when i first saw the kit on a car...

over east, car was Silver R33 GTR with obviously R34 GTR front... wide everything with Carbon Fibre bonnet and had a sweet sweet wing...

fell in love, skirts and everything matched so well, don't have a picture but i'm sure some of you would have seen it before...

if you go ahead with this which i'm assuming you will, hottest R33 on the street in my opinion, only my opinion though bahaha

Haha thanks, yeh i want a unique car not just another 34. Hopefully it wont cost too much coz i have great ppl helping me out. I was already planning on gettin my car re-sprayed with a white pearl and maybe a blue flake thru the top coat so it will be even more unique. Cant wait, i've just gotta wait a couple of weeks before i actually decide if i'm gonna deffo do it, but at this point i will hehe.

If you know anyone with a set of 34 headlights, let us know. Thanks

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
