So I have seen 2 stagea's with R34 fronts on them here in Brisbane, a silver one and a yellow one.

Noob question, how involved is this?

I think it looks shit hot and wouldnt mind doing it, but atm $1 is out of my price range.

I know they are out there, but how much of a hassle is it? How legal is it, do you need a mod plate?

I absolutely love them. There are a few that have crept into the country.

On that particular one above, I don't like the gab between the front of the bonnet and the grill. Not that that would stop me from owning one :D

Definately good. Seeing as you own a stagea, im asuming that you are contemplating this front end conversion. What you will find if you havent searched already is that sourcing that masa kit + postage is going to be a pain in the ass. Since its a prefrabricated kit there shouldnt be any hassles in terms of converting it. The lagalities of a 34 front end on a stagea i doubt will be legal but as there are many front end swaps done already ie sil80/onevia and the likes, i doubt you will have any problems with the authorities.

from memory the kit from masa is panels only and you will still need to source things such as the r34 gtr radiator support and headlights to take this into account when you start on this path

also i recall that someone in wa mentioned that here in wa it is illegal to fit plastic front guards as they dont meet adr's for crash requirements

i love the look of the front but i think cost and insurance would be a big factor for me also legality for insurance reasons

Hmmmmmm that is a lot of money just for that look, cant justify it for about 5 years I reckon, yes I will be whipped sometime soon ;).

But yeah cool thanks for the info, still looks damn nice dont it :P

Oh also was pointed ou tthe the rear guards would look better if they were flared, as from the perspective of the camera that took those photo's it looks like the rear is not as wide as the front, as the gtr panels really fflare out, but still, I like it!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
