Got some pics of the damage from QR. only lost one side skirt but the other side got knocked around alot so i took it off and need to buy another pair and not mold these ones on this time, and while i have the skirts off ive decided to remove the front guards and paint up all the front end to make it look a bit nicer. Plus i finally got a decent set of wheels 17x9 with a +22 offset with 30mm spacers on the back and 25mm spacers on the front.

Is this conversion really worth the money how much you guys spending on these kinds of builds? Just wondering if it's better of for people just going an r34 so that you have better gearbox motor and brakes straight up plus it's definitely legal. Unless of course you have a r32 GTR but why you would do this to a 32 GTR is beyond me

Its called a project car mate, mines going to cost about 12-14k all up, this includes a set of bride buckets and evo brembos.

most of the guys here are doing them to 32 gts-t's

With an rb25 slotted in your looking at a pretty mean car for under 14k, a decent 32 gtr is worth at least 17K, any less and your looking a an expensive repair bill.

I dont like the lines of the 34Gtt's and GTRs' are still 45K+

Insurance is allot less, engineer certs arnt that expensive and its a car thats a bit different and slightly rediculous. Im also a huge fan of the r32 chassi, much more then the 34gtt's.

In short its something a little different, that isnt much $$ to build (kit 1k, headlights $800)

were is the fun in just going out and buying a r34. At the end of the day it more than likely would cost close to what it is buy a r34 but then all you have is just another one of 40000 other cars driving around

It doesnt cost that much at all really. I bought a crashed 32 and ordered in a r32 gtr halfcut from Japan... at the same time while doing the kit I also put a whole new front on my car this January, did the Rb26 conversion and all the customizing into a rwd. I got it all running last night and now the car is gettin for the paintjob......... my total cost including the cars and kit, EVERYTHING has not cost me anymore than 15k!!!! Plus Im a 18 year old female who has done it all by myself in my garage!! :D

Do I feel good about myself FU*K YEAH! You appreciate the car more when u have experienced with things like this!

EDIT: Plus I called up regency here in sa and the kit and motor is legal (:

After my first practice drift day i worked out the sunroof had to go cause i kept hitting my head on it and while i was at it i cut out the doors to save a bit of weight and also installed a new fixed back seat in nice and tight.

dude! that is pretty hairy having your doors cut like that without a comprehensive cage with proper side intrusion protection. you are very exposed in the even of a side impact. You might even find many events with scrutineering will not allow you on track as that is massively unsafe.you might as well drive without doors at all. in fact that might be a bit safer than what you have now as whats left of your doors is likely to end up embedded in your body somewhere.

seriously considering you have no roll cage at all I would either be running factory doors or get yourself a proper cage quick. the doors are heavy for a reason. they protect you from dying... :/

A nice shiny cage with some side intrusion bars will done before the car sees anymore track time. As for the doors being heavy its only the power windows that make the doors heavy.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
