its a kit not the same panels as an er34

costs about 7 grand there was a guy in qld actually who inported one of the kits and was looking making them up dont know how he got on tho

I know this might have been covered before, but would the BCNR34 front bolt on? or is the only option to buy this fibglass? conversion kit.

Cheers.

Take a look at the Stagea front guards, you will find that they are much higher than Skyline guards. This means you can't use Skyline front guards on a Stagea, plus the door trim and the crease lines are in different places. So you have to buy aftermarket guards. Otherwise everything off an R34 would fit (bonnet, headlights, radiator support panel, bonnet latch mechanism, bumper, inner guards etc). There is one other thing you need to do and that is make spacers to lift the bonnet up to the height of the guards.

In summary, sounds easy but it isn't.:)

too expensive and a real bitch if you have a car accident.

i dont think frp front guards would stop much of an impact.

i think i would prefer a body kit that allows an fmic but doesnt try to make the car into something it isnt.

But hey to each his own I guess.

I'm looking at this conversion as i want an FMIC, but my front end won't allow it without some major hacking, and that just won't do.  

Maybe a group buy could be organised if enough people want it?

Their is a lot of room their, all that my front has cut off it the number plate bracket, C-red's car is the same with the different front bar to me, I think it is more for looks than any thing else.

Get a Blitz, Greedy or HKS kit that fits nicely, trying to make a one off they usualy just cut instead of working out how to do it properly.

yeah, i don't have the stock front bar, i don't know if you can make it out from my avatar, but there's a lip attached. for an FMIC to fit, i'd have to hack away the piece of the bar that this lip is attached to, meaning the lip would fall off.

I haven't tried to fit an FMIC in yet obviously though, are you using a 600 x 300?

HI,

I have a used R34 GTR bumper if anyone is interested - $500

Also have a Trust 600 x 300 x 100 Drag FMIC to suit as well. It is actually a kit with all piping, HKS SSQ BOV, 300ZX AFM, and HKS POD filter. Whole thing for $1200 + freight or pick up in Brisvegas...

Have a R32 GTR now, with all the bits, so don't need this stuff anymore...

    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
