R34 Front End For Stagea

[Mickya]

how much do the r34 fronts for a stagea cost?

[Bis-e Bee]

If they are direct fit off an R34, you may want to ring NissWreck (www.nisswreck.com.au) and see if they have any on-hand.

They are located in South Australia but they ship Australia wide.

I've just checked their "Currently Dismantling" section and there is a grey R34 that is due in their next shipment, not sure how often they update the site so it may be available now.

i reckon i've seen it broken down a number of times by the couple of owners on here that have already done it.

Bos-e-Bee, the front end isn't a direct bolt on, you need conversion guards, headlight bracket adapters, think you have to notch the rad support from memory and custom bonnet hinges. to use genuine BNR34 HID headlights, bonnet and front bar with lip and diffuser you'll be looking at quite the cost. the conversion guards can be bought from viva garage here in adelaide

i've just copied and pasted this from my for sale thread- sorry if it sounds like a sales pitch

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/-t...20#entry4466420

Here is a cut and paste from a email from Andrew at CCubed. . . .

The complete kit costs;

-Guards $ 690.00/pr

-Bar reo $ 350.00

-Headlight adaptors $ 200.00/pr

-Bonnet Hybrid $1,200.00

-R34 GTR bar $ 450.00

-Front Lip $ 250.00

-Splitter/Diffuser $ 600.00 (Opitonal)

All these pieces come to $3,740.00

All these prices are for fibreglass (FRP) products.

We can do the bar, lip and diffuser in a flexi version too, so it behaves just like a O/E plastic item, even sounds like them when you tap it.

This kit means no de-gassing of the air conditioning core.

The bonnet goes straight on to the factory Stagea hinges. It lines up with the rubber stops and bonnet catch. As it is a R34 top skin with a Stagea under-skin, so we call it a "Hybrid hood".

The headlight adaptors are moulded brackets which allow the R34's lights to mount to the Stagea's radiator support. You only need to trim a small amount of metal from the Stagea's radiator support to allow the wider R34 lights to fit in position.

We supply a template which allows you to mark out where you need to trim.

To fit them, drive in drive out would be approx another $2,640.00 (plus paint and assuming the car is straight to begin with). We can paint them too, but most people have their own painters.

This price would fluctuate depending on the mounting of any other bits and pieces, e.g. FMIC or Factory SMIC etc that may need moving or trimming to make fit.

The only other things to probably grab would be head lights and the rubber strip which fits between the top of the front bar/grill and bonnet front edge.

We can source these too if needs be.

The kit even comes with a carbon fibre bonnet prop! As you don't use the gas struts on the new hood. Or you we can get your existing gas struts de-gassed a percentage to compensate for the lighter hood.

We've done that on a few cars now when they fit lighter hoods.

Depends if you want to spend that little bit more, or just use the prop.

So to recap:

Parts- $3740 (for fibreglass copies- my stagea has GENUINE R34 GTR alloy bonnet and GENUINE R34 GTR front bar)

Fitting- $2640 + paint

Headlights (non-xenon)- around $1100

I'm up to $7480 (plus paint) so far... This aint a cheap thing to do to a car

If my stags don't sell, I'd love to do this conversion to one of them one day.

Thanks for the links.

i've tried to use the search function on afew occasions and don't find it that useful/accurate, if people are happy to answer my question 'directly' i don't see the harm in it.

U won't be looking at much change from $10,000.

Original kit comes from Masa Motorsports. http://www.masamotorsports.com/

There are a couple of people who have done copies.

Kit will cost wroughly $5-6,000 depending on conversion rate.

Then you've got fitment. (Depending if you fit it your self or get someone to)

Then paint.

Do a proper search. As CL11QE said it has been covered thoughsands of times.
