Stagea's With R34 Gtr Fronts

[darrinspencer]

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.

Ordered the front guards today

$980 delivered air freight

plus any duty and GST

[ylwgtr2]

just noticed this thread....thought i might add that when i repaired my 34 i bought a left guard from a nissan dealer here and they had it in stock at nissan australia for $500...

[ylwgtr2]

oh and i bought a new bonnet from them as well......i pulled a mould off it before i painted it ....was going to do the guards too but needed a multiple peice mould and i couldnt be knackered at the time

[darrinspencer]

What guards you talking about??

These are not Nissan 34 GTR guards

They are Masa Motorsport Stagea/34 GTR conversion guards

[darrinspencer]

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.

"Just need to buy the Stagea"

[jasevr4]

do you mind me asking how much the rims set you back darrin?

[darrinspencer]

I won the auction at 77000yen, about $900

[jasevr4]

sweet

nice one mate

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

[CruiseLiner]

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

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

cheers

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

[darrinspencer]

If anyone wants to a do cheap look alike crappy conversion you can buy this front bar and just bolt it on

cost 150000yen plus delivery from JP

If my bloody car ever arrives from Jp, I might get to start my conversion

[AlexCim]

I saw that the other day.

I dont think it SUCKS, but its not the best front bar around.

But for $1500 for a front bar plus delivery, f**k that

[AMS]

True - wayyy to expensive for the bar.. But I like it

[stasis]

personally i think its weird for this mod. its like putting a godzilla head onto a hippo body

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

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

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?

i will second that... the masa front bar i received.. is top shelf.......

the monkey warehouse side skirts feel like rubbish compared to the masa bar......

[rsx84]

ok i did a bit of a search and came up with the 2006 catalog from Masa motorsport.

needs translating though..

it does say M-34 but the pics are low res...
