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

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
