If you wanted R34 headlights to fit you'll have to get:

1. R34 Headlights $500-1000approx

2. R34 Bonnet $500-1000approx

3. R34 Frontbar (or aftermarket) $450-600?approx

4. URAS or Dude bee racing panels (which were made specificially for the purpose of fitting R34 parts on a R33) + spraying

guards estimated $800-1000,

5. Then you gonna get everything sprayed to match the colour of your car $500-$1000?

So all up if you wanted to do it at least $2500-$5000

IMO its not worth doing,

my 2 cents

i don't think its worth it IMO.

my 2 cents

yeah it is very stuck together you have to use a hairdryer and a thin spatula to pull it apart.

i did it yesterday to my r34 it sucked to do but now it looks heaps better

will take you all day and you need to take your whole front bar off.

yeah it was easy i used black windscreen sealer rubber/rtv silcone stuff to reseal it. just incase i need to open it again. Just be careful when opening it dont heat it too much in one area. Trust me it will look really good when you are done. My car now looks brand new worth the ball breaking effort.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
