Thanks Stagen,

I have had email back from a agent in Japan that Masa put me onto

response

1. What parts are included in the 134,400 yen kit price

A : Front Bumper , Front Lip Spoiler , Fender / total 3parts

2. What parts are included in the 239,400 yen kit price

A : Front Bumper , Front Lip Spoiler , Fender ,Bonnet ,Side Skirt, Rear Bumper, Rear Wing(Spoiler) / total 7parts

No mention of the brackets

I contacted Rampant and Aaron will get back to me by the end of the week.

Can someone confirm that Nissan has world wide pricing on parts?

I.e the same price for parts in Japan as Australia?

If they are, there will be no point getting the brackets from Japan then paying for shipping and duty when Nissan Australia have the in stock here.

Update

Purchased a genuine R34 GTR front bar and lower lip with mesh and GTR badge on Yahoo auctions last night

So I have all parts except the under bonnet parts like hinges and bonnet catch etc.

Will buy these new from Nissan once I can fit up the panels to see what I need.

I also bought a set of 34GTR factory 18x9 mags last night aswell from Yahoo auctions

Just need to buy a Stagea now and some side skirts and rear bar.

Minor update

Finally got the Masa front guards yesterday

They are of the highest quality fibreglass I have seen for a car bodykit part

The fibreglass work is perfect

All the edges are trimmed neatly, no fibreglass dags, pre drilled bolt holes

They will only need a very minor rub prior to painting

Much better than the other 4 Australian/China made bodykits I have bought before

i'd be very very interested in a copy of the gaurds or a mould, whichever, so make sure u let us know if u plan on copying them :P

so around 4K for the entire conversion with lights, is that about right or what? plenty of prices thrown around but no definate answers.

gotta make mine look like a gtr now the motor is almost finshed :P

cheers

Brad

The cost to date

New genuine Masa front guards $1100 pair landed

S/hand genuine alloy R34 GTR bonnet $650 (was quoted upto $1100 s/hand)

S/hand genuine R34 GTR front Bar with lower lip and mesh, badge and indicators $910

S/hand R34 GTT 4 door head lights $500

The remaining parts are all the brackets ie bonnet hinges bonnet catch, rad support etc and front bar reinforcement

Approx $1000-1200 new

You could save money by using a fibreglass front bar and bonnet

I was not a fan of the f/g bonnets, because I have never seen one without ripples and I have had enough of f/g front bars getting broken

If I/we copy the front guards the cost will come done a bit

guards $700 approx.

Bonnet $600

Front bar $500

S/hand lights $500-600

All the metal parts $1200

Front indicators $100

Total $3600

Fitting approx 2 days work $750 could do yourself.

Painting including front doors $1000

ANOTHER thread about these fronts lol??

I did a lot of pricing on these when I was gonna get my yellow one done - had a few brokers in Japan tee up quotes from Masa....

Heres a recap of some of the threads on this kit that exist already....

One of the SAU traders posted he could organise the Masa kit at a good rate... Sidewize Imports http://www.slidewizeimports.com

Based on the buy price of 239400 Yen (front and rear bar, sideskirts, rear wing, front guards and bonnet) is approx $4600 landed in Melbourne. For used headlights add another $1000.

For just the front half of the kit at 134400 Yen (front bar, guards, bonnet) is approx $2810 landed in Melbourne. Add $1000 for used headlights

MrZac from Sidewize quoted:

Masa will include the headlights/indicator kit for around $1000. The front kit also includes the mounting brackets and other bits needed.

So yeah - $3810 for the full front end including headlights, or $2810 if u have headlights.

Then the Takelows sideskirt and rear lip (with carbon fibre air-dam / under-lip) to top it off :P

http://s108.secure.ne.jp/~s108121/ssl/stag...ges/01_10_2.jpg (the "Vol III kit with carbon fibre rear air dam is the only one I like)

Past thread on other bodykit options:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=51202

But yeah - theres lots of info in the older threads... SEARCH is your friend new Stag owners :huh:

looking at these prices for the full kit (front bar, side panels, bonnet, sideskirts, rear bar & rear wing) including headlights with the expectation of having to buy hinges here in aus, you'd be looking at under the $7,000 mark less stagea front re-sale, extra bargin if hinges are included.

anyone have a link to Masa kits, sideskirts and rear bar is what i'd want to look at.

anyone know what these sideskirts are also?

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
