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.

    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
