Ah the old reply " do a search" How i hated that haha. Dw i get it alot.

Mate, im looking at this path to. obviously its goin to take a while gathering all the funds etc, however the path im goin to take is with a local company who make thier own conversion kit. CCubed in sydney. Evomitchy i believe is one guy who had his car done their and it looked sick so i trust their work. Should work out less hassle and cheaper then masa too as its a direct bolt on kit!.

Really though there are so many posts answering this question, that cover both the masa kit

and how hard it is to fit, as well as the individual pricing on the CCubed kit....

Shoot a PM to DarenSpencer hes hes a brissy boy thats just finished the conversion, now doin major engine work.

Cant remember exactly but its round $4-$5G just from the kit from MASA n then you need fitment + paint etc. So youd want to budget a minimum of $10G.

I think there may have been a company that was gona do copies in oz but i dont think they ended up doing them.

And guys there r seriously so many of these threads. have a good search n you will find almost all the info you need

Yes so many threads on this already I have just been reading them the last few days and search worked fine for me. Reason people say it is so all the information thats gathered stays in the one thread instead of being strewn across a heap of threads making it very hard to find what your looking for. Otherwise you will have 20 different threads of the same thing with people asking the same questions.

Anyway I would look into (and am going to get myself this year hopefully) the CCubed kit. Go this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...R34&st=140# and go to post #159 (didn't take long to find it :rofl: ) and darrin has a copy and pasted an email from ccubed with full pricing and break down of the kit. I personally think its a way better option than the MASA kit seeing as its cheaper, its already in the country and from what others have said much better quality. Should bolt right on or close to it, MASA kits still require a lot of work. All you need is the lights which will cost anywhere from a few hundred $$ for used non HID R34 lights or about $1100 new non HID right up to $3200 if you want new genuine R34GTR HID lights......I know what I'd be going for. So really worst case with new non HID lights and shipping you'd be looking around $5000 then depend on wether you fit your self and get someone to paint or you pay someone to fit and paint in which you'd be looking roughly $2000-$2500 for fitting plus how every much for paint. Still not a cheap exercise but a lot cheaper than going with the MASA kit. Its worth it IMO!

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
