ooo dam nice, how much did the parts (bonnet, guards, lights etc) for the 34 front conversion cost

kk here we go, this is all off the top of my head.

Lights - $1600

Fenders - $500

Bonnet - $700

Indicators - $110 x 2

Front bar - $450

Thats just on the front end, not including widening those guards further and makeing all the custom brackets to hold it on. The rest would go something like this.

Rims - $4950

Tyres - $1650

Boot - $350

Sideskirts - $300

Rear Bar - $400

Painting/fibreglass/labour - $17,000 give or take about $1500

Spacers - $300

R34 bonnet hinges - $75

So nearly $29,000 in bodywork alone, now just the engine and interior to go and im done >_<

edit: spelling

expensive.... i hope it puts a $30,000 smile on your face! car looks really sweet....

Theres nothing quite like getting a trophy for all the hard work put into the car, i was a bit worried before it was finished but after i saw it i couldnt have been happier, truly a one of a kind. Something tells me jerry wont be too keen on doing another r34 front end anytime soon >_<

Lol @ baconer, too much info? i never said it was cheap :( a nice detterent to those wanting to copy lol

haha yea, always loved the 34 front ends and when i saw pics of the bee*r R33.5 i started looking around for general prices. URAS says $600 for guards but buyer must source lights, bonnet and other necessary parts which didnt sound too bad till you said $1600 for the lights alone :rant: Cant wait to spot this car on the road haha

Its mainly the wheels that really hurt us in price, a new set of R33 lights i got quoted around the $1200 mark so i thought well $1600 for R34 lights aint too bad. The front bar is at a much more driveable height usually we just had the coil overs all the way down for the show.

The problem i came across with the bee R kit is that it isnt even bolt on, they provide you with no brackets/instructions as to what needs to happen to get this all together whilst they provide with you with many of panels a real R34 GTR bonnet is not an easy item to find, making the brackets for the bonnet and lights was another adventure in itself.

For those daring enough to attempt it feel free to pm for a more indepth guide as to what it will take, i was extremely involved in the build of the car and could tell you what it took almost every step of the way and what costs you could be looking at.

And also for those who are handy with a welder and some skills with fibreglass knock off about 3000-4000 off the price as you will save your panel beater a large amount of time making all these little brackets.

Edit: Please remember guys this price was for the widebody aswell, if you just wanted to bolt an R34 front end on theres no reason why it couldnt be done for around the $11000 mark including a complete respray, again if someone wants a price on what it took me to get just the R34 front including labour PM me the standard R34 conversion guards are fairly normal width so a wheel change wouldnt really be necessary.

hey man

i was just wondering wat rear guards they r?

obviously modified but wat did they start out 2 b n how much di they cost

thanx 4 ur help

Hey, the rear guards are completely custom made, they started out as a shape cut from foam/matting that we played with size/shape etc then used the foam as a mould for the fibreglass which was then grafted onto the car. The rear guards were inspired by the charge speed supra. So the short answer being i cant really give a price as they were quite literally made from an idea.

Thanks billisphere for the positive comment im glad that it got such a good response from many people on the forum it definately was not the easiest conversion we could of done.

cheers, semo

ps. i didnt know u were on here tuong :)

Just saw the car today in the J racing show room. Honestly the pics just do not do the car justices. It’s freaking awesome and looks so much better in real life. Jerry said it took almost 3 to 4 months of straight labour to finish. Man I would hate to count the Hours Spent.

But a seriously sweet looking ride, congrats on an amazingly well done job. Can’t wait to see it crusen the streets. Rock And Ride!!!!!!

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      Hello Everyone

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
