the only things you would use from a complete front cut would be stuff like the bonnet, reo, front bar, hinges etc, which kinda defeats the purpose of buying an entire front cut especially since the R34 GTR front cut is not the cheapest thing to buy – even more so just for some of the body parts.

the side guards need to be the MASA or CCubed guards, i can vouch for the CCubed guards being the highest quality. and plus its very hard to find a complete R34 gtr front cut - or even a stripped R34 GTR front cut. I havnt heard great things about the MASA guards

if you're going to do it, weigh up the costs and time it takes, because its not cheap and it doesn’t happen over night...

I payed approx 4000 US-dollars for my GT-R33 frontcut, there was a 5 speed manuel gearbox, RB25DET-Neo engine, complet HKS suspenssion, front and rear, complett dashboard, and all the parts in the engine room.

I can get the GT-R34 frontcut with the RB26DETT engine for 8000 US-dollars.

anybody seen these guards on ebay??

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Bodykit-Nissan-Stag...1742.m153.l1262

not a bad buy @ $380. but they would be pretty useless as it makes no mention of any of the required brackets. might be handy if u have already done the swap and damage a guard.

I'm getting interested in starting a conversion myself, just wonderin if anyone knows if the R34 GTT front bar and bonnet would work with the MASA front guards?
Um, pretty sure that is what the Masa gaurds are designed for dood :)

the masa guards are based off the GTR guards, which are wider than GTT guards.

the front bar will likely fit, however the sides will be pulled out a little, which may cause the bumper to buckle a little in the middle.

you also need the GTT bonnet, hinges, latch, etc. as they are different from the GTR items. (unless you want a GTR bonnet, then you will need t0 use an add-on lip, such as the one that east bear offer that fills in the gap between a GTT front bar, and GTR bonnet, http://www.east-bear.co.jp/shopdetail/003013000001/order/)

the guards themselves shouldn't require any brackets, as they are custom designed to adapt the R34 front end onto the stagea chassis.

i'm pretty sure its adapting the lights, etc to the radiator support that requires additional brackets, as they obviously differ.

i know guards dont need brackets. the point i was making is the guards arent much good without the backets required to adapt the lights etc. unless u know how and have the means to manufacture them yourself.

i doubt it, the guards are designed to suit the 34 bonnet, as well as the headlights and bumper.

would be better off having them in metal, but the work required would make it expensive. :banana:

Have we come to a final conclusion of what the whole thing will cost landed. And who to use to get it to Oz.

Also is the Masa Kit for the S1 or S2 Stagea?

Buy a Australian made kit for less money, less work and better quality and fitment

www.ccubed.com.au do them

Series 1 and 2 the same

Is this kit just something you have to ask for specialy??? I couldn't find anything regarding it on the site.

Here is a cut and paste from a email from Andrew at CCubed. . . .

The complete kit costs;

-Guards $ 690.00/pr

-Bar reo $ 350.00

-Headlight adaptors $ 200.00/pr

-Bonnet Hybrid $1,200.00

-R34 GTR bar $ 450.00

-Front Lip $ 250.00

-Splitter/Diffuser $ 600.00 (Opitonal)

All these pieces come to $3,740.00

All these prices are for fibreglass (FRP) products.

We can do the bar, lip and diffuser in a flexi version too, so it behaves just like a O/E plastic item, even sounds like them when you tap it.

This kit means no de-gassing of the air conditioning core.

The bonnet goes straight on to the factory Stagea hinges. It lines up with the rubber stops and bonnet catch. As it is a R34 top skin with a Stagea under-skin, so we call it a "Hybrid hood".

The headlight adaptors are moulded brackets which allow the R34's lights to mount to the Stagea's radiator support. You only need to trim a small amount of metal from the Stagea's radiator support to allow the wider R34 lights to fit in position.

We supply a template which allows you to mark out where you need to trim.

To fit them, drive in drive out would be approx another $2,640.00 (plus paint and assuming the car is straight to begin with). We can paint them too, but most people have their own painters.

This price would fluctuate depending on the mounting of any other bits and pieces, e.g. FMIC or Factory SMIC etc that may need moving or trimming to make fit.

The only other things to probably grab would be head lights and the rubber strip which fits between the top of the front bar/grill and bonnet front edge.

We can source these too if needs be.

The kit even comes with a carbon fibre bonnet prop! As you don't use the gas struts on the new hood. Or you we can get your existing gas struts de-gassed a percentage to compensate for the lighter hood.

We've done that on a few cars now when they fit lighter hoods.

Depends if you want to spend that little bit more, or just use the prop.

time to bring a thread back to life.

has anybody looked further into or know about these frankenstein gtr/ stag conversions keeping the stag healights, bonnet and i assume guards?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
