If anybody knows wherr i can get a rear end write off of a stagea let me know. Dont need the motor or tranny but will need the body and some interior parts. Will pay $$$$$$$$

With or without wheel arch flares i dont care. Dont care what colour either

Have a few problems/issues that need to be addressed:

-i know i have to change my radiator support but i dont know if the bonnet latch will line up, could i use my V series one or will i have to use the stagea one.

-the blinkers on the V are bumper mounted but fender mounted on the M series, do you just line up the four square things on the cover and twist on on and clip it in the guard, could someone take a photo for me.

-i have factory HID lights, how do i change them over to the M series ones. Do just take the bulbs out like i am changing them and put thr stagea ones in or......

I can get all the parts from nisswreck but trying to avoid it because theyre expensive, more expensive than new from nissan sometimes.

Wants to put a series one nose on. What changed in the series 1-2 facelift, did quater pabels change or just lights, bumper, grill and hood

not sure about rad support

re: blinkers, they are built into the M headlights and there's another 1 on each of the fenders, i actually forgot whether V has blinkers on the fenders. i think it's just a matter of moving the V bumper blinkers to the M headlight ones, might need to extend the wiring i'd imagine.

re: HID, 98% sure they are the same as M35s, i remember checking my mate's v35 cos he was asking what bulbs he had to buy

ask iamhe77, he used to have s1 m35 with s2 front end

ive already done all the research and planning on this...

yes, quarter panel indicator looms needs to be extended approx 1 metre. same bulb fitting.

headlight plug should be interchangeable. assuming both are HID of course

you have to swap the bonnet, guards, bumper, rad support, grille, radiator, headlights, splash guards... when all parts are changed the bonnet catch and hinges will line up.

oh and you'll be struggling to get all the bits for under $3000

im placing bets on this never happening ;)

Engine and tranny would be so expensive i might as well buy a stagea.

The v series already have blinkers in the headlights so the link would just switch over to the blinker inside the M series light.

Im talking about the ones in the corner on the V series bumper near the wheel arch, do the m series ones that are on the gaurd have the same thing were you line up the four things and twiat the cover on.

I rekon i can get the lot for just under 3k.

It will take time. I could sell off my old V series parts atleast then ill get a little bit back. Only the bonnet and headlights are still in good nick (tyres have finch and pulled my gaurds and bumpers is beyond repairable)

Are the turbo and NA radiators the same or will i have to find a NA stagea front cut (which i have found)

as i said before

its a standard T10 twist-in base

you obviously have ALOT more research to do. to transplant the turbo motor and trans requires stripping the sedan to a COMPLETELY BARE shell. the entire electrical loom and dash needs to be swapped aswell - which means seats, carpet, dash, a/c, heater... all need to come out

i discovered this a little while ago whilst having a conversation with guy who did my transmission service and a friend of mine who works for nissan.......if only you could comply a 250GT four, would be easy as.

@Deep Dish V35, what model stag nose are you thinking of putting on?

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
