Hey guys,

Just need some help and a couple of suggestions on what needs to be done to change the front of my R33 to a R34 face. I'm hopefully going to buy some panels from another member, but thats still pending.

I've only heard of one other WA person doing this, so i'm interested in doin it too.

I need to know, what reinforcement parts do i need to get to change the face?

All help would be greatfull and hopefully i'll make this work, yay lol.

As long as you know you need the bonnet, fenders, front bar and lights to do it.

I remember reading a thread on here about some one who did it, and the hardest part was mounting the lights from memory. They had to make some brackets or something as they sit in a different position to the R33. Do a search, mabe you'll stumble across that thread. He gives a pretty detailed explination of what he did :)

Yeah, thats looks wiked. I was talking to a friend and he was saying it wont be as simple as i thought. If u look at the 33 and 34 closely the 33 fender panel finishes before the A frame and the 34 fender panel finishes after the frame. He sed i'll need to get adjustable fenders. :S

How much do you think the bonnet, headlights, fenders, and front bumper would cost all up?? I need to give another member a price but dont really know wat a realistic price would be. Cheers.

You will need conversion fenders, the R34 fenders wont bolt straight up.

Not sure about how reliable VIVA is, but it should give you an idea. Although you can merge R33 and an R34 fenders to get something a lot stronger, altho it will be more work.

Good luck, if I was keeping my R33, this is the conversion I wanted to do.

Wouldn't it just have made sense to buy an R34 instead if that's the look you wanted?? If you had it for a long time like Kym has then it might make sense if you were willing to pay decent money to make it happen, but in the end it will cost more then getting a very nice kit put on. Each to their own but that's just my opinion

yeah he could just buy a R34, but you wouldnt really much stand out..cause it'll be another R34 GTT or GTR

have a R33 with R34 and be the only one in W.A or second one..

you stand out heaps and people will remember it more..

if that makes sense..

then agian paying big bucks for it..good luck with the project

when i first saw the kit on a car...

over east, car was Silver R33 GTR with obviously R34 GTR front... wide everything with Carbon Fibre bonnet and had a sweet sweet wing...

fell in love, skirts and everything matched so well, don't have a picture but i'm sure some of you would have seen it before...

if you go ahead with this which i'm assuming you will, hottest R33 on the street in my opinion, only my opinion though bahaha

Haha thanks, yeh i want a unique car not just another 34. Hopefully it wont cost too much coz i have great ppl helping me out. I was already planning on gettin my car re-sprayed with a white pearl and maybe a blue flake thru the top coat so it will be even more unique. Cant wait, i've just gotta wait a couple of weeks before i actually decide if i'm gonna deffo do it, but at this point i will hehe.

If you know anyone with a set of 34 headlights, let us know. Thanks

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
