Mmmmmmn it looks GREAT in that colour... but... the jurys out on whether GT-R/GT-R face conversions are ok.... I don't know, what does everyone else think?

Btw, Funky, the S15 onevia conversion is a little old... maybe two years? Some other mob had a bright orange one way back with black rims etc, set up for drift. Can't remember who produced it though.

i think its just the square bits combined with the round bits.. i remember seeing that 33/34 on here before.. looks great too

but mmmm.. that onevia.. *cream* .. although it defeats the point a little of taking a banged up cheap car and sticking an expensive looking front on it

R34/R33 is gonne get more popular, coz URAS just mass producing the kits at very cheap prices. Also the R34 on R32 kit is gaining popularity too amongst the wierd but wonderful tuners.

Yeh the 34 front end on a 33 looks tough

Youd be starting arguments with people everywhere you drive 'Its a 33' 'thats not a 33!' 'Yeh it is look at the back' 'no its not, look at the front'

hehe

kit = fenders + inner front brace to attach the upgraded bumpers onto, headlight clips etc...

my bomex strawberry face kit had like 14 pieces in it. including new hood clips etc.

I managed to confuse people by sayin I had Australia's only S15 200sx hatchback. 180's weren't so popular back then, esp strawberryf aced ones ;) I got away with murder.

Hey Shan, the URAS "kit", do you have to find your own R34 GTR front bumper? Or do they make R34 GTR front bumpers that fit straight onto GT-T guards like East Bear? I've got a couple of options at the moment but East Bear might be the least hassle one, but could be quite expensive.

Could you possibly find out how much East Bear sell their 'GTS-R' kit for? probably just the front bumper at this stage, if you could find out the price and throw it on the next container, i will grant you 3 wishes :).

EDIT: just checked the east bear site, www.east-bear.co.jp and looks like they've updated their prices. Looks to be 103.950(99,000) yen (not sure what brackets are for) for the Front Bumper/Lower Spoiler, and something to do with the grille. Bout $1300 all up. How much extra will it cost to get it to my place?

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
