anyone know if there are matching paint codes for the r34 gtr range and the Stagea range?

i'll be looking to import a stagea in the next few months with the intension of doing a r34 gtr front end swap, i have silver in mind as i think thats the closest from memory. any help would be great..

worse comes to worse i have to get the front repainted...

I am about to do this conversion once my car finally gets here (3 months and still sitting in Japan)

You will need to at least paint the front guards, as you have to use the Masa conversion guards (fibreglass)

R34 GTR guards do not fit!

You will also have to change the top, if not the complete radiator support panel, so this will need painting too

along with bonnet hinges

Good luck trying to find a genuine bonnet and front bar in the colour you want in Australia

I had to get my complete front bar from Japan $1050 and the bonnet I found locally, could only find 2 and only one was under $1000 secondhand.

Expect to pay approx $4500 for parts plus fitting and painting to do the conversion

You could do this alot cheaper with a FG front bar and bonnet. but expect poor fitment and quality.

The Masa guards you will have to get from Japan at approx $1100-1150 pair

I am about to send mine to Sydney to get copied, so If you are still keen let me know.

i've read the other thread that you have been posting in about the conversion and will be following your example, if i can source the parts for the $4-5000 thats fine, budget is $8000 for the conversion, i've done S1-S3 r31 front end conversions myself before which seem to just be the same sort of work but a hell of a lot cheaper..

i might look for an aftermarket bonnet for a gtr rather than a stock one depending on the price..

if i have to panit the guards and maybe bonnet and a few other things i may as well use the stagea code and match the front to the rest of the car..

the plan is to buy the car then while its on its way over get the parts together for the conversion, what are you sending to get copied? if its the front guards i might be very interested, i'd need to get the car purchase set in stone before putting $$ down for parts though..
