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.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
