Just so you know, it's not a conversion "kit" as such. You get the guards to do it and that's it. You need to source genuine parts - bumper, lights, reo, bonnet, bonnet latch, and bonnet hinges to get it done (OEM parts aren't cheap!!!)

Keen to see the final product though, uras photos look nice.

You don't have to get genuine parts to make it all fit, i have a r34 uras front bumper already waiting to go on mine, really the only thing you need to get oem is the headlights from what ive read any bonnet designed for the 34 gtt will fit fine with the stock r33 latch as long as you have the rest of the parts to go with it so if you can source aftermarket stuff cheap might as well go for it. But someone correct me if im wrong

A mate of mine did the 33 > 34 conversion a while ago. and from what he went through its not worth it. You do have to source all OEM parts. We had trouble lining up the headlights as they dont bolt straight in, and he had to get brackets made up. Also the biggest issue was the bonnet hinges. R33 hinges didnt fit to the bonnet right so he had to get custom ones made up. if i remember right he used the r33 hinge as the base and got s15 hinges for the top. I myself thought the r33 hinges should work until i was proven wrong. Oh and you can get away with using the same rio bar, but you would have to hack it up a bit depending which front bar u put on it. It looks good in the end but i wouldnt recommend it to anyone. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
