Has anyone considered this or done it.

You may well ask - why , and thats a good question , but please humour me .

I am looking to do something really different

I suppose "could you fit the R34 front to a m35" is the same question.

This is not "would it bolt straight on" ( I wish :D ) but - are the dimensions close enough to make it possible using the stock or aftermarket panels.

I am not worried about the internal brackets etc. but more the relative heights of the bonnet and wings .

All comments welcome including of any along the lines of ............ mad as a box of frogs

Hmmm, if it is (even remotely) achievable, I'm worried about how it would look - the M35 front looks too round for the C34 rear, in my opinion.

Quite possibly but I was not thinking about using a standard m35 front

if youre not thinking of using a standard front, then yes it will fit as all the parts will be custom made.

but if you want to use factory parts on your C34, then i think youre going to have major problems. the front ends arent even remotely similar. its hard enough attempting a V35 front swap on an M35, let alone trying to get the M35 front on something that doesnt resemble it at all!

pop the bonnet of an M35 and youll understand why

Can someone reminder me what a m35 stagea looks like ;)

Round -> Square. . . .hmmm

Give it a go, should only cost approx $5-8K aust. to see if it looks any good or not.

Photoshop someone. . . . .

why dont you do an R33 front?

thats pretty different

If i do anything its got to be something thats not been done before as I will be replacing a genuine nismo bodykit thats on the car now. That rules out r34 front (and r33)

Pretty much finished the rest of the car only painting left so wanted something off the wall .

shame the r35 wont fit ( in fact that probably shpould be - just as well as bank manager would have a fit :) )

just chucking this in there.

Ceferio front end ?

Legnum Front end ? (because the legnums ass's are horrible to look at)

R33 with 400r front bar ?

anything is possible, you see the tools in the UK making there honda's looks like porche gt3's and there little fiat's to look like Z4's . stupid yes, impossible no!

EDIT: just saw your from the UK. . . .

the front of them isn't much better :)

i've got pics somewhere of an r34gtr fronted legnum from the motherland, i'll dig them up if someone wants me to

    • I have copied the images in the original post from photobucket to the SAU servers to make sure they stay available.
    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
