Hey everybody,

I'm starting to look at converting my 25GT 34 into a gt-r, going to start with the front end first.

So far I have decided on:

Either an East Bear or a Top Secret Front bumper

GT-R front fenders from Vivagarage

Type W fibreglass bonnet also from Vivagarage.

Is there any others parts I will need?

Also, where is a good place to find a Top Secret Front Bumper (gt-r style, not gtt)?

Final question, is there a place anybody can recommend in perth to fit and spray the parts on who charges a reasonable price? my pockets will be severely damaged just buying the parts, hoping not to spend another fortune on fitting and spraying.

Thanks!

yeah, I have heard that it is pretty simple to fit the kit on yourself, but I'm not too sure exactly what clips or pins i need. if i can figure it out then it might help take some of the price off. but if anybody knows a reasonably priced panel beater that would be great ..

You will need the hinges for the bonnet and the latch/lock mechanism,this is a special order part from Nissan Japan, estimate closer side to $500 for these parts depending on the yen value to our dollar., do a search its been covered in the past.

im already at the rear end of the on going project

i just finished getting installed the R34 GTR MFD into the console as well see pic.

good luck with this project it has been expensive for myself so i know what your going through.

cheers,

David.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
