I have seen an R33-fronted Stagea done once, but I think it was a custom job for some workshop in Japan

If you want an "easy" solution, MASA motorsports in Japan make a kit for the R34 front end, and this is one you've most likely seen around. It's far from cheap though, especially with the way our $Au is compared to the Japanese Yen.

There might be someone doing a copy of the kit around Australia, but I'm not sure. There was talk of it happening, but whether they actually went through with it I don't know. Probably the person to ask would be Darrin, I think he actually has his R34-fronted Stagea for sale at the moment. His username is "darrinspencer" and I'm sure he'll pop along and contribute to answering your question soon enough.

i'm 99% sure that dave from viva garage down here does fibreglass conversion guards for r34 front end, he has done it to his car also

and goldzilla, the 33 fronted stagea you are speaking of, i have a suspicion that you're thinking of the r33 (can't remember if it was a coupe or sedan though) that they tuned into a wagon with a custom rear box section?

I do know of that one too, Mike, but I'm pretty sure I have seen one that's actually a Stagea with R33 front grafted on.

Brycey in Newcastle had one done by CCubed Performance I think it was, down here somewhere in Sydney. He's since sold it on to another SAU forum member, and pictures of it are in the "Post a Pic of your Stagea" thread.

There are two for sale in NZ at the moment ...probably too expensive to import but you can look at the photos...

that would look.. interesting? haha

any idea where you saw it? i'm quite intriqued now

R34 front is the way to go. I have done my car myself and had to learn the hard way. The best and easest option if you want to do it is to talk to Andrew from CCubed. He has developed a full kit for ease of installation and speed with little mods to the original car. Not sure of his prices, but generally budget for approx $4000-4500 for parts and then add approx $2000 for labour and painting if you can not do it yourself.

My car is still to be painted, but I am thinking of selling it once it is completed.

If you are interested, it is a series 2 converted to manual, silver, R34 GTR wheels, teins, exhaust, fmic, apexi BB turbo, full body kit etc etc. Pm me for more details and price.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
