Howdo all!

Been lurking around for a while, mainly going through the 'post a pic of your stagea' thread and thought it was about time I introduced myself and asked a few questions!

Names keith, everyone calls me mowgs, drive a 1997 rs4 in wet and miserable Sussex in england.

I've started sprucing her up a bit and have my heart set on rejigging the front end. Now everyone seems to go down the masa route, but I've seen one picture that made my mind up for me.

I would like to make an r33 front fit the stagea, the one picture I've seen it looks like it should have come out the factory like it! Much more natural than the r34 fronts - and it seems to be a lot less common!

My question is, does anyone on here know the guy who did it? Anyone know what would be involved?

I've got bumper, bar and grill, with bonnet, headlights and wings in the pipeline.

I'm guessing I'll need new bonnet hinges, bonnet catch, bumper supports etc, and it looks as though the wings have been cut and blended around where the top of the wheel arch is, but does anyone have any more info - pitfalls etc?

Cheers peeps!

I have never seen one before you posted that up! Might look better in real life. Personally I prefer to put the time and money into performance but if you go ahead be sure to keep us updated ...with pics!

Cheers dude, yeah power is going to be looked at too! Got the basics on there for now - filter, exhaust ebc, neo sidemount, and hopefully push for 330-350bhp by end of the year.

Then sort out a manual conversion and start pushing a bit more!

Just realised last pic is upside down - thats not meant to be one of our usual unfunny English 'jokes' ;-)

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      If you are genuinely considering trying to get this engineered, I would strongly advise finding the engineer that is happy to sign that off first before you put the hole in your car.  I've seen cars get defected for this and not be able to be put back on the road as no engineer they spoke to was happy to sign if off.

      Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now.

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
