Will take pics of all the parts I've had to make etc brackets and what material i had to cut out. I've still not received my gtr bonnet hinges so I've had to make adaptor plates for thw stagea hinges.

Bloody fiber glass bonnet is not the best! Has dimples and creases in it. so im ordering a OEM metal one from jdm garage then ill have it all ready for paint at the end of this month. Still sorting out the panel gaps as its still not good enough.

So I bought a OEM bonnet from JDM garage. As im not a fan of fibreglass bonnets.


GTR hinges have arrived. They are not direct bolt on to the stagea. I had to re drill one of the holes. Once fitted the bonnet sat 35mm to low.

So I had my mate make me some 35mm spacers for the hinges. Will buy some longer bolts tonight and see how it goes.

Its a big ass job, and i can see why it costs so much now. As if I had paid for a bodyshop to do it all it would be very expensive. 2k+ I think. So as the car is getting painted im sorting all the rust spots etc on the typical areas.

One thing I regret though is not buying rear arch flares.... Cant find any. Ive seen a few stagea's with the rear GTR flare too. Are they just standard GTR arches?

The only point thats now playing on my mind is the bumper position. Im getting some vertical supports made up that will lift the bumper 5mm to close on the bonnet and lights perfectly.


This is how it looks now and ill post up pics of the finished car soon.

Haha! yea they aint my wheels they are on loan. My black ones will be going back on after they get refurbed.

Once the bonnet is lined up and the whole thing polished that is gonna look awesome.

(despite the wheels being too shineeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!) :whistling:

Here are some WIP pics for the geeks.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
