Apporximatly how much would it cost to get the front end conversion done? I have a quote from Garage-13 for just the frontend. $1500 incl. all parts to do the conversion. Is that a good price? Oh, and then around $200 to get it freighted to Tamworth :D So yeah, how much for an install? Just one more thing, When/if I do the whole front end thing, how much would it cost me to get the whole car re-sprayed in Candy Orange?

Thanks Guys :)

It depends what parts they are giving you.

If that is gaurds, lights, bonnet and all, GO FOR IT.

MASA kit is ~6k

As for spraying a car... one this big...custom color....i wouldnt pay any less them 4-6k for a paint job. I want a black paint job, and my mates a painter, so ill probably get a black job for ~1.5k

As for install, its pretty basic, you COULD even do it yourself, depending how technically minded you are...

I say, dont bother, its a stagea not an R34. If you want R34 front, get an R34 (roughly same price anyway)

I did not think You can get for 1500$ because only head lights its more like 1500$.

One what was probably first in Australia they paid 8000$ for kit only from Japan plus lights ,etc etc.

So maybe is a good price anyway.Try to have a look somwhere else ,maybe???

I reckon it's rice. People keep complaining about how it's a waste of money to make a gtst look like a gtr.

how many times have you guys heard this phrase whenever gtst owners ask about making their cars look like gtrs, they get told 'buy a gtr'.

therefore, in my opinion, it's just rice. for 6k, you can get a nice collection of go fast and handling bits.

Oh no doubt it is rice, but it is not like we are putting gtr badges on it or anything, just a great look, well that is all I am after. I think people who make thier gtst look like a gtr is because they want people to think it is a gtr, whereas there is no way we could make people believe that they made a gtr wagon, oh hang on a sec they did, but they called it a Stagea :D

But as you said, the price leaves more than a deirable effect on other possible mods, turbo, suspension, brakes, rb26dett, etc etc etc.

Still, god damn I love the look of it.

What are the full parts required for the conversion

Front guards- masa motorsports $75000 yen pair plus shipping etc say $1500

Bonnet- factory r34 GTR or carbon copy $1000

Head lights $500 pair s/hand

Front bar- R34 GTR genuine $750-1000 s/hand

Thats the obvious parts

What else

Bonnet hinges?

Radiator support? $500?

Bonnet catch? GTR? $150?

Once fitted, does the front guards flare out wider than the factory Stagea guards?

If yes, would you need wider offset wheels for it to look good?

If the whole thing costs 5-6K plus paint and fitting, you can sell your old parts for upto 2k to offset the costs :)

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
