R34 Front on a R33

[DAMQIK GTS-T]

Hi Guys n Girls,

Dose anyone Know if a R34 front (Gards, Bumper & Bonnet)

will fit on an R33 body?

This is a mod I am Seriously looking into. And I have not yet seen this done.

I like the 33 ass better but like the 34 nose, so I'm thinking the best of both worlds maybe.

I have done a simular thing to a TX Gemini coupe that I once Owned and put a TG front on it this required me to change the radiator support and crossmember,

But with the two series of lines it seems they have the same basic floor pan and turret. so it may be even easier.

If anyone has any idea or comment I'd love to hear form you.

Main point of consern is weather the door line matches the the gard line.

Thanks

An R34 GTR front goes onto a Stagea, This may be no help at all, but a bit of info nonetheless.

Yes it can be done, a place called "strawberry face" in japan do it, they also do the S15 front on S13, which you may have seen. I'll scan the small write up in an old HPI mag, if I can find it.

Cool,

Thanks guys for the info

I would do all the conversion myself except the painting.

The next thing I guess is weather it would be cheaper to get a complete wreak or to buy the required parts only, then again if I got a complete wreak I could get a GTR R34 and do the 4WD system and motor swap as well.

Plus all the other bit n peaces that go with.

I would love some pictures and any other advice

Thanks Again

If you're going to do mechanical mods as well, I'm guessing it would probably be cheaper to just do an R33 bum graft onto an R34 car.

This way you get a newer car, too.

Just a thought.

I think you'll need the "strawberry face" f/glass gaurds ect, as I cant see real 34GTR ones fitting onto a r33. good luck finding those though, ive done my R n D on it, and no one has them, or can even get them.

I think it was in the HPI mag with a blue R34 on the cover.
