Just so you know, it's not a conversion "kit" as such. You get the guards to do it and that's it. You need to source genuine parts - bumper, lights, reo, bonnet, bonnet latch, and bonnet hinges to get it done (OEM parts aren't cheap!!!)

Keen to see the final product though, uras photos look nice.

You don't have to get genuine parts to make it all fit, i have a r34 uras front bumper already waiting to go on mine, really the only thing you need to get oem is the headlights from what ive read any bonnet designed for the 34 gtt will fit fine with the stock r33 latch as long as you have the rest of the parts to go with it so if you can source aftermarket stuff cheap might as well go for it. But someone correct me if im wrong

A mate of mine did the 33 > 34 conversion a while ago. and from what he went through its not worth it. You do have to source all OEM parts. We had trouble lining up the headlights as they dont bolt straight in, and he had to get brackets made up. Also the biggest issue was the bonnet hinges. R33 hinges didnt fit to the bonnet right so he had to get custom ones made up. if i remember right he used the r33 hinge as the base and got s15 hinges for the top. I myself thought the r33 hinges should work until i was proven wrong. Oh and you can get away with using the same rio bar, but you would have to hack it up a bit depending which front bar u put on it. It looks good in the end but i wouldnt recommend it to anyone. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
