My Nissan Swagger Daily Beater (Now With R34 Front End)

[tooley]

Just thought id show you guys my other car as my s15 is not my daily any more.

bought myself a series 2 RS4 Was very happy with it! only bad point is the brakes are ****!

Fitted my ebc and a fmic now running at 0.8 bar.


Got r33 front and rear calipers to fit.


The intercooler was an easy fit to be honest just needed to cut away some of the bumper beam. The pipe work used the original wing mount openings.

tarted the R33 brake conversion on the stagea the weeked.


FYI BnQ stock the 14mm od tube £3.94 for 2m worth. I tried every metal place then called to BnQ on a whim and result.

I also bought longer M12 Bolts.


After you remove the caliper on the S2 you will find this issue.

So use the 14mm OD tube and the longer M12 bolts to fit the calipers.

Cut the pipe and slot the insert into the S2 knuckle.




Pics with wheels on! Just need to get the big front brake disc conversion and paint the Nissan part I the caliper

Fitted some bc coilovers today! Not a lot of adjustment in the front shocks. They won't go any lower. Will need to raise the back a bit to level it out. Anybody else fitted these?


As for the ride they are brilliant

Well had a mental day today! Started the conversion at 9am and finished it at 8pm! Just got a few panel gaps to sort with the bonnet positioning. Here is how it's looking right now.










It required alot of cutting

I was left with some panel gaps so i did some tweaking last night and it now looks much better.

[Chriscooke]

R34 fronted steagas are awesome. Good work.

 

[tooley]

Yea no idea why they never came like that from the factory.... cant wait to get it all fitted right and painted now.

 

[tooley]

Still sorting panel gaps and waiting for my gtr bonnet hinges!!!! Bloody nissan dealer taking the piss

 

[tooley]

Bloody fiber glass bonnet is not the best! Has dimples and creases in it. so im ordering a OEM metal one from jdm garage then ill have it all ready for paint at the end of this month. Still sorting out the panel gaps as its still not good enough.



Also got me some of these! fancy going the VIP route totally opposite from my S15.

 

[Parky]

Got a lot of time for this, looking promising James!

 

[Sender]

looks nice mate

 

[tooley]

Cheers guys..

Test fitted the wheels! gone full on JDM Scene gay wheels! cant help but love them haha

 

[tooley]

So I bought a OEM bonnet from JDM garage. As im not a fan of fibreglass bonnets.


GTR hinges have arrived. They are not direct bolt on to the stagea. I had to re drill one of the holes. Once fitted the bonnet sat 35mm to low.










So I had my mate make me some 35mm spacers for the hinges. Will buy some longer bolts tonight and see how it goes.

 

[meddler]

nothing like this is never easy! It will be worth it in the end

 

[tooley]

That it will

 

[tooley]

Hinges fitted and the gaps are much better now. Dropping it to get painted tomorrow





Need the rubber seal now like this one!




Dropped the car off at Endless Road body shop for paint on Saturday. I will be collecting it this Saturday cant wait.
