Hey boys/ and girs

I know this topic has been addressed a thousand times, but im wondering has it been dont with metal front guards? if you could take the time to read this and help me out I would gratefully appreciate it:)

I'm planning a R34 front end conversion on my R33 GTR body, because of the fact that i have 4 months of no uni starting from November so i might aswell do something interesting. I have found R34 genuine GTR front guards, and bonnet, would someone be able to tel me, if I buy the R34 GTR guards can I bolt them in with some modification work?

or

Will I have to cut my R33 GTR guards and mash the 2 together?

The reason I ask is because the genuine GTR guards as you know are made from aluminum and if i do cut and mash them together, I’ll have to give them to a welder. Instead of welding them myself.

If that is the case I have also found R33 standard metal guards, and R34 standard metal guards, so i could employ the same idea but save on someone welding them for me, and weld them myself.

If I got the standard guards, or the GTR guards they will cost the same, so there isn’t any win or lose on money.

If you could please help me or point me in the right direction I would be most appreciative.

Best regards,

Vlad Adam

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
