Just wondering if anyone has done the r34 front end conversion as i would like to do it to mine. Does it simply just bolt on or is it alot of stuffing round? and which front end works and looks better r34gtr or just r34?. any help on this would be good. O and how much would i be looking at, at a guess 4 an r34 front?

I bought mine the way it is but looking at it, as long as you can get the fenders, it doesn't look too hard. There's some cutting on the radiator support that has to happen and spacers need to be made for the aftermarket fenders (don't know why they didn't just make them fit correctly). When I bought mine nothing lined up correctly so I've had all of it apart and readjusted/modified stuff to make it all fit right. Looks like stock hood latch works (I just had to slot the mounting holes to line up better). You can use stock R34 hood and bumper, and you'll need a hood rod (probably be able to use gas shocks but they fail eventually anyway). My headlights don't quite line up properly with the rad. support but that just means I can buy cheaper ones with the upper mounting tangs broke off that nobody wants because I don't use those tangs.

I think it's more a case of how expensive the project is - i've heard these can be a not-so-cheap exercise but i'm sure if you hunt around on Yahoo Japan and play your cards right you'll get off fairly lightly.

Idea: Anyone ever done an WGNC34>BCNR33 nose job?

      Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.

      Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.

      Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
