Just wondering if anyone has done the r34 front end conversion as i would like to do it to mine. Does it simply just bolt on or is it alot of stuffing round? and which front end works and looks better r34gtr or just r34?. any help on this would be good. O and how much would i be looking at, at a guess 4 an r34 front?

I bought mine the way it is but looking at it, as long as you can get the fenders, it doesn't look too hard. There's some cutting on the radiator support that has to happen and spacers need to be made for the aftermarket fenders (don't know why they didn't just make them fit correctly). When I bought mine nothing lined up correctly so I've had all of it apart and readjusted/modified stuff to make it all fit right. Looks like stock hood latch works (I just had to slot the mounting holes to line up better). You can use stock R34 hood and bumper, and you'll need a hood rod (probably be able to use gas shocks but they fail eventually anyway). My headlights don't quite line up properly with the rad. support but that just means I can buy cheaper ones with the upper mounting tangs broke off that nobody wants because I don't use those tangs.

I think it's more a case of how expensive the project is - i've heard these can be a not-so-cheap exercise but i'm sure if you hunt around on Yahoo Japan and play your cards right you'll get off fairly lightly.

Idea: Anyone ever done an WGNC34>BCNR33 nose job?

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
