My R34 Gtr Front End Stagea Build Thread

[GoldZilla]

Good work, Darrin!

[SCHSLYF]

Damm i love this car.

the colour looks better on the stagea than the fords. now if only i could afford to do this (different colour of course) to my car, i like the gtr front ends, i think they look more how they should be than the stagea front end.

hmmmm to win lotto

[Tangents]

Darrin, or anyone for that matter.... is there any difference between the gtt and the gtr bonnets?

[darrinspencer]

Bit of an update. Progress has been slow

New turbo is in along with new manual rear cradle

Currently have inlet plenum off and fitting a greddy copy along with detail and painting engine parts

New wheels sitting there ready to go on. Rays GT-'c 19x9.5 +12

Still to come, paint and rebuild brake calipers, modify the exhaust and inlet piping and get it tuned and fit the evo 8 recaros

That should be it until the engine blows and then decide on rb30 or rb26

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

haha and money comes pouring in!

[BoostedBarge]

Nice to see the progress coming along. It's gonna be awesome when it's on the road again.

This is probably Oz's best example of a 34 conversion.

Great to see progress on this particular car.

What is the cost of doing the R34 GTR front end conversion...? And can the conversion be done to any model stag..?

[M I K E]

cost depends on how much work you can do yourself, what genuine parts you use, what quality conversion guards etc. expect a clean 'factory' looking conversion to set you back around 5k

can be done to any c34

[stagman]

lol.... That's pretty optimistic mike. It is almost 5 k in parts alone..if you include new HID lights. Second hand GTR lights(have a black surround) arnt to cheap either. But mike, including paint and depending on if you fit the kit yourself, new or used parts, your looking at anywhere between 5-9k..IMO.

[M I K E]

sorry, i assume most people won't fork out for the HID's so i never include them in the costing of it haha

Haha, Dw..im continully thinking about doing this conversion, calculating it all up and feeling..optimistic that it'll hapen sooner than i thought. Only then do i remember i forgot to factor in the Lights, plus the frount mount I would want, and wheels to set it off haha.

[Tangents]

Mine comes soon, factory bonnet, front bar with lower lip, gaurds, rad support, some cool rear flares, and headlights.... not costing anywhere near what you guys (Scotty & Mike) are saying

[180fan]

I take it you got the one Import Monster was selling, very nice buy if so

[Tangents]

Yeah I did will be sweet after I get it on pretty much the same way Darrin has done his

Great work. I would love to see some close pic's of the bonnet hinge mounting. Also what front bar reo they used, if it has one and what/how they did the radiator support.

Do you know if it was fitted by Masa or someone else.

Get IM to to take pic's as they pull it apart

Are you lucky enough to have a white stagea as well?

Pm what you paid for it.

Aaron sent me alot of pics already, I'll be throwing them up after I get the kit. I'll make another build thred about mine and be taking loads of pics, I'm getting basically the whole front end from what Aaron has told me so I'll be able to unstich the rad support myself. This way i'll be able to check out how it's done. Not sure who fitted it in japan but apparently they are genuine masa gaurds.

I have a black rs stag with leather and sunroofs, looking at importing an autech and "exchanging" the rb26 gearbox and awd get up... But it will stay black they look porn in black

[BLUEGTTR34]

hey stageatype S....i was wondering where did you end up buying your front quarter panels on your car from? because i found the masa motorsport R34 conversion, but they dont have your quarter panels.
