Has anyone considered this or done it.

You may well ask - why , and thats a good question , but please humour me .

I am looking to do something really different

I suppose "could you fit the R34 front to a m35" is the same question.

This is not "would it bolt straight on" ( I wish :D ) but - are the dimensions close enough to make it possible using the stock or aftermarket panels.

I am not worried about the internal brackets etc. but more the relative heights of the bonnet and wings .

All comments welcome including of any along the lines of ............ mad as a box of frogs

Hmmm, if it is (even remotely) achievable, I'm worried about how it would look - the M35 front looks too round for the C34 rear, in my opinion.

Quite possibly but I was not thinking about using a standard m35 front

if youre not thinking of using a standard front, then yes it will fit as all the parts will be custom made.

but if you want to use factory parts on your C34, then i think youre going to have major problems. the front ends arent even remotely similar. its hard enough attempting a V35 front swap on an M35, let alone trying to get the M35 front on something that doesnt resemble it at all!

pop the bonnet of an M35 and youll understand why

Can someone reminder me what a m35 stagea looks like ;)

Round -> Square. . . .hmmm

Give it a go, should only cost approx $5-8K aust. to see if it looks any good or not.

Photoshop someone. . . . .

why dont you do an R33 front?

thats pretty different

If i do anything its got to be something thats not been done before as I will be replacing a genuine nismo bodykit thats on the car now. That rules out r34 front (and r33)

Pretty much finished the rest of the car only painting left so wanted something off the wall .

shame the r35 wont fit ( in fact that probably shpould be - just as well as bank manager would have a fit :) )

just chucking this in there.

Ceferio front end ?

Legnum Front end ? (because the legnums ass's are horrible to look at)

R33 with 400r front bar ?

anything is possible, you see the tools in the UK making there honda's looks like porche gt3's and there little fiat's to look like Z4's . stupid yes, impossible no!

EDIT: just saw your from the UK. . . .

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
