So that price would be with a fibreglass bonnet and front bar and guards and other parts genuine BNR34?

Looks like they only replace part of the radiator support not the whole panel

New bonnet hinges and bar reinforcement

I am half decided between buying series 1 and doing the conversion or buying a series 2 stagea and leaving the standard front

I have been doing some more research

Ernie will not make and sell a pair of guards.

He wants to sell the moulds for the front guards, front bar std GTR, Nismo side skirts and rear bar for $6000

He has got to be joking.

Can organise the genuine Masa front guards for $1150 plus freight from Japan EMS

thru a Australian company that deals with them

I have studied the photo of the parts in the kit Masa sells and priced the parts up

Guards approx $1650

Bonnet $650 fibreglass carbon $1050 could maybe get a genuine alloy one for $1000

Head lights s/hand $400 pair (just bought some) :O

Front bar copy of GTR or most other aftermarket ones $500

All the factory bits needed, hinges, bonnet catch, bar support, radiator support etc $1000-1200 new

Front indicators $150

Total approx $5000

Less the sale of the factory stagea front of $1500-2000

I can do the conversion myself and most the painting, so it should cost me about $3500-4000 for the conversion.

I just need to find a car now!

I have one in the pipe line that will only owe approx $11000 landed and complied, so will see how I go. It is a petty that the conversion will cost as much as the car will

When i get the guards, I will be making a set of moulds, just incase they get broken. (I might also sell them too :( )

Hhmm. Pricey.

Add on a Neo turbocharger, a Neo tortiseshell engine cover, the tiptronic gearshift / manual conversion, etc etc...

Best to buy a straight Series 2!!!!

If you do that, I want a mould of those gaurds! And bonnet etc. Who did you buy the lights from?

When you thinking of doing the conversion? :O

I got the lights off the forums

To take a mould off the guards will cost me an extra $1000, so I will be making extra sets for sale to get some costs back.

I will most likely buy a carbon bonnet or a factory alloy bonnet, as most fibreglass bonnets I have seen are full of ripples being a large flat surface.

As soon as I get a car. Hopefully I will find a car in the next few weeks and then wait for it to arrive from Japan. Would like to do the conversion as soon as the car is complied. The time waitng for the car will allow me enough time to get all the conversion parts.

I am waiting on another price from another supplier which I think will work out cheaper. will let you know.

In the mean time, it would be great to sell my VX wagon and R33 gtst.

Picking up a factory 34 GTR alloy bonnet tonight

Got it for a bargin $650

Found one other for $1100

The headlights deal fell over, apparently the guy selling them off these forums has sold the same ones twice before to other buyers and never sent them

Luckly, I found this out in time before I direct deposited the money

I am bidding on 2 sets on Yahoo, so hopefully i will get a pair. New ones are $1100 pair.

Still trying to get the guards out of Skyline imports. He is not interested in making me a set at any price....strange

The guy I am getting the bonnet off knows him well and is going to try and get him to make a set for me

The other choice is to buy the Masa ones, but everyone who has or does deal with them said they are not normally in stock and take 2-3 months to get them and they are rude to deal with

At $1250 a pair plus EMS freight and possible duty it could cost me upto $2000 for a pair

So things are coming along slowly, but I have plenty of time because I have still not bought a car yet! Word of advise... Do not get married!

Nice to see it coming together....lets hope you get those front guards ^_^

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
