There is something not quite right about the look. its the width or something, can't quite put my hand on it. But I think it looks great.

Question is, spend 15k on that and have a stock motor? Or keep the normal nose and drop 15k into the engine? I think i know what i'd rather... :D

I think it looks good. The rear arches need to have the same styling though(somehow) and needs bigger/ lower side skirts and a rear bar. Other then that, looks great and would be super different, so i would still have it in a flash.

I've tried pricing it all up, Nissan over here wouldn't give out prices for GTR parts.

But I imagine it's not cheap, an M35 bumper is $4,300 + gst here.

Check out Japn yahoo for second hand. Parts are cheaper than R34 gtr's. Easy to get front end bits due to people upgrading to carbon bonnets and fancy front bars.

Front bar approx $200

Bonnet $300-400

Have seen head lights on SAU for $1200-1500 each

My R34 front cost me $4500 in s/hand parts alone.

Reckon you could get it all done for 15k?

I dunno aye... I reckon the headlights will cost around 5K each :)

Considering our headlights are around 2.5K each haha

Thats what the guy says so in the other forum.

"You can pick up an M35 Stagea for around 5k upwards. If you could source second hand parts, which are rare, I reckon that would be around 2-3k So with the car, parts and labour, I reckon you'd be into 10k+"

Of course your talking GBP, not AUD. I guess it comes down to how handy you are with a spanner + Welder eh? 2nd hand parts would be the only way to go. Lets not forget, the guy owns a R35 anyway, so he mustn't be short of coin!

hmm.... interesting! Would be interested to see the exhaust he has in there (and how loud it is) and how he got around the ATTESSA pump

wow, way to make your stagea look like a bag of dicks.

front's wider than the rear. the fender and the A pillar doesn't line up properly. the front bumper doesn't line up with the bonnet. man if you're gonna do something unique, do it right.

like wilson tuckey says... do it once, do it right and do it with fibre.

Farken lol. Always good to get a colourful response from you shan. I bet Neil is missing his stag.

Totally agree, doesnt line up at all and needs to to be wider. Some others I have seen look better.

Me too, not sure about the styling issues. Also I'd question why you'd bother, especially in Britain where cars are cheap. For that money you'd get a 2001 Maserati. For just under 20K (pounds) you can just get into a V12 Aston Martin Vantage.... or for less than the 10K take your pick of M3's, Audi Rs's etc.

There's a limit to being different I reckon. I play with my cars but if those sort of cars were that cheap here, I'd be getting one of them rather than a bodged up half breed.

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
