I checked it out a while ago; looked like well in excess of 7k. headlights themselves are ~2500 IIRC (for genuine new GTR).

hmm i may just stay with the 33 front end especially being non turbo im a just sell it soon to get a turbo anyway doing anything expensive to it will just be lost money

I checked it out a while ago; looked like well in excess of 7k. headlights themselves are ~2500 IIRC (for genuine new GTR).

Actually (as I'm more of a go than show individual) it was a pretty cheap job.

The complete fibreglass kit was $900 from a member (Drift Shop i think) here, the headlights also from a member here (non-xenon) were $500ish, and then the sandpaper, grease/wax remover and cheapo satin black spraycans, sikaflex, pop rivets and cable ties (lol!) added up to about $100

The installation was fiddly to tell the truth, but fairly straightforward. After a dry-fit, and Pre-drill for the mounting holes, all of the panels needed a cut or grind here and there to sit correctly, which I ecpected for a cheap kit. The Moulds seem to be good quality, but some areas had more resin than glass so due care was required. The headlights fitted nicely with some simple DIY aluminium brackets, but still require a bit of fiddling to get the alignment perfect. The original rear arches were cut, folded,and weld stitched before sealing (Room for 285 rubber!)

I might get some build photos together and post a thread on it in a week or two.

My goal was mostly to get more wheel/suspension room, and to look tough from a distance, and have (mostly) succeeded. That said, if you like show cars don't bother with a cheap kit as you will spend weeks getting a perfect fit/finish unless you have lots of time, money, or bodywork skill.

It's a long way from finished, and my family car/daily and my 3yo daughter loves it!

Ah, see I was more looking at getting it perfect R34 GTR front end.... plus I'd need it to be installed as I am the suck when it comes to bodywork

I think a lot of that was labour, but yeah, new 34 xenon's are friggin pricey. given that the price of doing the conversion would be basically the cost of my car (sigh), noooot gonna bother anytime soon.
