Hi

I am thinking of doing something different to my 32 I am going to get some new mags for it (which isn’t really that different). I also been thinking about changing the front end to a R34 front end as a mate sent me a pic of a 32 with a 34 front end on it and I thought it looked sweet as and very tough. And he said it isn’t very hard to do just bolt on but I don’t know. My brother changed the front end on his EXA to a ET front end and that was piece of cake. But yeah I am looking for a price (approximately) to do a mod like this.

Cheers Adrian

even if u used the panels etc your still looking at a lot of money... plus, then lines wont line up properly from the guards to the doors so ur going to have to fix that... not to mention the massive front end and skinny rear.

The Bee R kit (front end only) will cost $3500 in Japan + Shipping, Duties and Taxes. But it ONLY comes with the Front Guards, Bonnet and Bumper. No Lights, bumper reo's, radiator supports, headlight brackets etc... which you will more than likely need.

so roughly $5,200 landed ready to sell

R34 Panels and so forth wont be cheap either and as others have said, you will have to modify them to fit the lines of the R32 around the door etc...

Headlights alone cost $590 each for non-Xenon's

I would contact Sam @ G&S Bodyworks about doing the conversion as he has done an R34 front end on a Toyota Soarer recently. 02 9681 2686

they aren't TE37s. they are Bee-R rims. also they are 5 spokes TE's are 6 spoke. personally i prefer the five spokes over 6. nice to have an un-even number of spokes i reckon.

hey "SW20-GT" and "darK" thanks that was just what i was after, those were the pics that got me keen on doing this mod hmmm i may b able to make this happen but thinking there could be better things i could spend the money on all though this would still be really awesome to do. R34 front end on a Toyota Soarer dam that would have cost a sh!t load i think that me and my dad would be able to do the labour for the swap of panels and sh!t. But yeh cheers for the prices just what i need to get my brain really thinking

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
