So, here's something I don't have much experience with, the R32 bodystyles. Say, for example, I want to toss on an R32 GT-R front bumper, possibly hood on, I understand the GT-R has wider body panels in front and rear, but how much of a difference? Enough of one that the bumper/hood combo wouldn't fit and/or look just awful?

Also, any decent solutions for fixing some rust around the rear quarters/wheel wells? Save for riveting on GT-R Rear quarters.

Thanks for any input!

to properly fit the gitr bonnet and front bar you also need to get a r32 gtr front bumper reo, for the bumper to sit perfect

as far as the bonnet goes, it sits perfectly, but you also need the gtr bonnet latch, as it sits slightly differently. apart from that, no further changes need to be made

I wouldn't rivet on the r32 GTR guards, unless you like the drift pig look.

It would cost around 2,500 to have the rear guards unpicked and unwelded and the GTR guards welded in their place (and that is if you have the GTR guards). That's a ballpark figure, but in labour and materials as well as general annoyance, that's what I'd charge with paint.
You could do it yourself if you have a mig welder, spot welder, basic maths, and a flat face spot weld remover drill. (among other tools to remove windows, window trim, etc.)

As PWND said, you will need a GTR front reo to get the GTR front bar to fit correctly, and you don't need the GTR front guards to fit the bar or hood.

I'd say, just GTR rear quarters and front guards purely for factory width and wider tyre appeal. lol.
As long as you don't go and put a GTR badge on it's butt I'm sure most of us would be happy. :-P
But it's your car. :-)

    • I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in what MCM were going to do with the NC I really enjoy their banter and occasional collaborations (like Alan from TSF, Ben from BCW, or any of the Haltech guys throwing around their experience), and I have probably watched everything they have put out
    • Not yet, we basically drove it to a private road, got the logs and drove it straight back. I think I need a new passenger seat belt after the mrs squeezed the life out of it. 
    • Sounds insane! 🤤🤤🤤  Do you have any vids of it driving?  A flyby would be nice!
