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?

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p

      Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32

      AC not coming from top vents

      By Templim · Posted

      Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.

      Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
