So my 6 massive boxes arrived today! was like Christmas when i got home from work!!!! took some photos will put them up soon the list includes...

genuine front bar, carbon fiber larger lower lip, headlights with eyelids, some crazy looking bosch zenons, radiator support attached to nose cut, genuine bonnet, genuine masa guards, custom bonnet hinges, rear flares and a few other bits.

Hopefully get stuck into it this weekend :thumbsup:

Cant wait to see this one in black? The rear end will need a decent wing, rear bar and chunky sideskirts to make it look right.

Bastid. My abflug kit and eyelids is three weeks from landing. I will be just as enthused me thinks.

nice work, tho i do like the stock rear wing :thumbsup: thinking about rear bars and skirts tho, i wouldnt mind finding a vspec rear bar and drastically modding it to fit the stag :D

ok some pics from today...

Note the welding on the bonnet hinges, looks like a lot of effort was put into getting this car done right.

Oh yeah, seen a few now with GTR variant front bars, good luck fitting a Vspec II rear bar. I reckon a z-tune bonnet, autech wing and nismo or masa skirts would really set it off. Ditch the roof racks aswell.

where did u get the splash guards from and how much, if you dont mind me asking???

they came off the stagea that had this conversion previously, they came with everything else. To me they just look like stagea gaurds that have had bits attached to them

Looks good. Nice to see all the genuine r34 parts have been used. The front bar reo is worth over a grand all up

The peice of foam accross the middle alone is $150!!

I see the carbon lip has a bit of battle damage. They hang fairly low. Mine sits at approx 70-80mm clearance from the ground. A bit too low.

When do "plan" to have it all together?

I was quite chuffed to see it had a genuine reo :( the lip I will have repaired and painted black, it's a bit bigger than the stock lip.

I "plan" to start this weekend, but before I go to far I will be getting the panels edged and and backs painted so the whole car can be blended in the booth avoiding putting it on and taking it off too many times

Pic's of rad support? If it has the full R34 support, there will be a bit of time cutting modifing to get it to fit

That lip is actually a one peice version of the factory lip and vspec lower diffuser.

Good idea is to get some 50x3mm alloy flat bar and fix it to the under side and profile it to match the front curve. That way when going thru drivways etc it will scrape the alloy and not wear away the carbon lip. :(

I will get some more pics this afternoon when I get home, the rad support is still attached to the old cars skirts and rails buy after a quick look last night it looms pretty straight forward :(

good idea about the metal under the lip too! :O

Teren, I do plan to come and meet you to compare the AWD chassis to your RWD one soon, but I'm a bit under the weather at the moment and trying to get better.

Hey mate, all good get better first! I'm planning on starting to strip the front of the car on saturday (hopefully) always welcome to come over and check it out :blush:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
