R34 Front End Conversion to R32

I'm in the process of doing a R34 front conversion to a R32. I'm aware that they have a kit for this conversion but I'm not a fan on the style it has and not sure if you can swap parts around so I decided to just use OEM parts for now until I can find parts locally for an R34. I've been searching local for a better bumper but this will have to work for now.

I was lucky to find someone local that sold me the front end with the radiator support. My R32 Front radiator support is not in the best condition so I decided to use the complete R34. You can probably get away with cutting a larger hole into the R32 headlight pocket and use the r34 upper radiator support for better headlight alignment.

I'll attach photos as progress happens.

 

So far I drilled out the R24 support and the R32. Swapped it over and tested everything out. Nothing fully mounted. I didn't like the wheel gapping so I chopped 2 inches off the R32 front aprons to allow 2 inches for the front to fall in for the gapping. I will have time tomorrow to retest fit everything to see if I'm happy with the wheel gaping.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?

      Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)

      +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
