Gday

Not really answering ur question here but i'm also doing the conversion although i'm converting the front into a GT-T no point putting a GTR front on when it simply isnt a GTR and certaintly doesn't go like one but anyway the only thing i've been told is that u need to make up a bracket to hold the headlights or something like that!

good luck with the conversion!

i havent seen many in oz cos its probably not possible?

If it was we'd have as many of them as we do strawberry faces..

i think guards are completely differnt size etc , wont bolt up, even with bracket...

best buying a bee r kit like lynden reynolds has on his hott wheelworx beast.

And yes it is worth the money.. :D

Now.. from what I remeber.. There is a place in Camberra, called J Racing that I THINK to packages.. if not them.. I also think its DMD that might also do it.. not entirely sure. Theres a fleet of Purple/pink drift cars, one of which has an R34 face. Im sure someone very soon will elaborate.

You could always get a front cut and use the pannels.. See if you can pick up a front cut without an engine (possible?) and just use the bodywork. Or the cheapest front cut, sell engine and gear box that way you cover some costs and then just use the guards etc.

You could always get aftermarket wide body guards, mould the head lights and just slap on a R34 front bar.

Just for some info:

R32 Track Front [in. (mm)] 58.3 (1480)

R34 Track Front [in. (mm)] 58.3 (1480)

Linden was given the front kit by his Sponsor Viva Garage. His is a genuine Bee R Kit though.

And there is now 2 R324's driving around SA and one R334 also.

I would recomend buying a genuine kit. With wider rear gaurs so it doesnt go wide then skinny a the front doors.

SO its up to you but the whole kit costs alot of money. Sooooooooooooooooo save ur 5c's mate as you will need them.

viva garage only sell the kit as a full conversion not as seperate parts soo if u were wanting the fenders nd fit a different bumper its a no go

the fenders, bumper, bonnet, are all made specifically to suit soo other bumpers will not fit

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
