r324 body kit

[Daniils]

Does anybody know a shop in vancouver that would fit r324 body kit? and how much would it cost?

[blkgtr02]

Any shop would be able to do it for you. But depending on how much work is needed to make it fit right will tell you how much it'll cost. Take it to a shop and get a quote. We've done a supra and s2k widebody before and just for ballpark pricing it was around 7000 for a complete paintjob in and out.

Does anyone actually know where I can secure one of these? I have scoured these forums, GTRPWR forums and Google, Unfortunately I have turned up blank. I went to the bee*r website but for some reason I don't know japanese and it was no help lol.

If anyone has a lead on where to find one of these or actually has one let me know. I'm not even really looking for the "whole conversion" just the front end really but i'll take a complete kit if thats all thats avail.

Also!, Does anyone have a line on r34 headlights? I took a quick look on ebay and found sets selling for upwards of $750.00 to $1, 140.00.

Use Google translate for the Japanese page.

I think cshepp did this conversion so you can try talking to him, or you can go the route of MWRacing if you have deep pockets (check his build thread)

Daryl at RightDrive or Adam at Feast can likely source you the parts and from all acounts are good to work with.

Even used R34 parts are pretty expensive since a lot fewer of them were made than R32

haha good luck finding the kit now. Luckily i got mine last year. Bee*R had a law suit against race-on-usa for their knock off kits, aka the one i have. It was significant enough FRP took there kits off the market too so as far as i know unless you know someone who can pull one out of china you deal direct with bee*r. You can no longer buy the kit new off the shelf in north america.

The kits from bee*r, or the knock offs are all extremely rough and extremely difficult to mock up and get the lines all straight. I spent over a month working every night and every weekend fitting mine. Not a small job. No pre made holes all gets put on and fitted from scratch, and hardest part are making parts that don't fit actually fit. I finally got it painted over the winter. Luckily my gf's brother in law is a body man and did mine for a stupid good deal. He said if he were to charge anyone else shop rate to do it it would have been 7-10 grand in paint and body work easy.

The kits being so rough also there are many ways to fit it, i have yet to see 2 kits that look the same, eveyone has very different interpretations on what to flush up, what to elevate, what to smooth, what to piece.

Long story short i can say i've done it but if i were to ever go back and do it again, not a chance, WAAAYYY more work and money than its worth imo.

^i completely agree! I don't really want this kit on my car anymore! I would prefer to throw on some Gtr parts and a nice do luck front bumper and call it a day. I bought this when they were first released and they weren't that cheap. Now a couple years later I still don't have it completely finished because of how expensive the body work and paint will be. If I could find someone to do if for 5k$ I would do it in a heart beat!

Btw Brian I want some more pics of that beast

[Tairance]

OH NO! This is really discouraging!

Im looking into pricing and found 1 used kit at $2700.00USD. I really don't wan't to spend my whole summer on this conversion when I could be using that precious time to cruizin' lol

Does anyone know if it would be easier to fab a R34 front clip? flipridah17 has one for sale so I think I might try it. I also found one from a local JDM dealer for relatively cheap. I hear they're 6" longer than the r32 and wider aswell? Currently I got the GT-R kit on there but its rather bland ;/

Thanks for the replies guys! Really helpful.

no matter which way you go its gunna cost a friggin gold brick to get it done!

I got lucky and through the business i got lots off good prices but still after the kit,paint,lights,decals,etc. I probably spent around 7-8 grand all said and done. Thats me fitting and doing a good chunk of the body work. To get a shop to do it all i'd say you'd be looking closer to 15grand easy. Like i said i'd never do it again, it was one of those things i started so was committed to finish it. Here are a few pics of how mine turned out.

yoo thats a proper modded car like not some half ass jobéwork in progress that i see alot of them likke. only question, if you were gna spend over 7 grand on the kit, why not do it to a gtr... lol

[BrianV8]

haha basically because i already spent 7 grand on a motor swap and mods. Once your tied in the deep might as well keep going haha.

[cschepp]

Looks beautiful man! Great job. I am going to try and line up some good body work for over this winter. In the mean time I'll just drive my other skyline. I might even sell the second skyline to finish this one properly! Good work man

[BrianV8]
