Hey guys

Someone was kind enough to back into my car the other day :D so now i need to get some things fixed.

i have already pick out a front bar (do luck) but i was also thinking about getting some wide gaurds done.

just wanted to know what everyone thought and here from some people who have gone through the trouble of doing it.

is it worh it? how hard was it? adn what did it look like (PICSOBARN!)

This goes for both front and rear ones, do the wider GTR rear guards/quaters fit on the GTS-T

Thank for your help in advance.

Hi

Yes the GTR fronts will fit a GTST, bonnet and grill will aswel, you will have to play around with the front bar though to make it look perfect. Or just get an R32 GTR front bar aswel while you're at it which would be the best option IMO

For the rears - that will cost some big money for the result, i dont think its worth it, but run around and get some quotes, they may be in your budget

My Silvia is in getting it's widebody fitted.. and he had a GTS-T in there that had been crashed in the rear.

The guy found a slightly damaged R32 GTR Rear cut which he basically got for nothing.. (this is NZ :P ) and has now had the whole thing stiched on.. old skin removed and the GTR one put on. It was done in a couple of days.

All up though by the time you include the painting etc, your looking a few thousand just for the rear guards..

front guards will fit but you need GTR indicators as well

just dont get fibreglass guards

they always look shit compared to genuine metal ones

i did the rear quaters on my car

its not a massive job compared to some other shit people do.

only issue you will have is the inner guards will be too short

and the fuel filler wont line up properly

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
