Shhh. Fast > Pretty :D

nah, u got it all wrong, wide track is tough, skinny track is well gay. wide gaurds are boonta, stock rear on a four door even with rolling and flaring is like the little lacey bit that hangs out of your silk nightey skirt, its just wrong and needs to be done proper.

look at the pros and the con's.

gay or tough

skinny or boonta

dents or rivits

dicks or chicks

wide wheels or space savers

normal or something different

Not interested in spending ~$1500 (+ possibly new wheels and spacers) on looks, would rather spend that on a performance mod that would make the car go faster :D
skinny or boonta
As above
dents or rivits
Dents are annoying, but with the fibreglass, if it happens again, it's not gonna be pretty. And I dont think the rivets thing looks great. My opinion anyway
dicks or chicks
I guess, but not all that interested in a girl that just wants the car.
wide wheels or space savers
I can fit 18x10s on the back now without rubbing, dont think I'd really be getting rims wider than that.
normal or something different

Same as the first 2 points

Basically, I would rather spend that much money on something that would increase the performance of my car. Right now, I need more power, so all funds go towards a new turbo so I can get more speed going into turn 1 and dont need to clutch a lot during turn 2

Sure having wider guards will let me increase track etc, but I could just as easily spend ~$2000 (guards + painting + BFO spacers) to have my shocks rebuilt with better pistons, more valves etc and have it grip a shitload more like that.

From a perforamance point of view, it is very poor value for money and that's what I care about the most.

dont think u understand how much he is going to be making them for. I may be wrong but $1500 is what its costing him to buy them and then copy them so we can have them for around $600 depending how hard it is for him to copy them. I'm a tight ass and you know why, so for me to think this is a good buy means its good shit. haha

Even if it's $600, add fitting and painting (I cant do it myself) and it's possibly gonna run me in the range of at least $1200. And then after that, I'd probably have to get a kit to go with it to really look the goods, so that's another big wad of cash. If I'm doing all of that, I may aswell get the whole car resprayed at the same time as it's a bit rough. So it'll all add up to a lot of money :D

It may be quite cheap compared to everything else on the market, but it will do nothing for performance, so I dont think its necessary until I've got lots of money and nothing to spend it on.

Each to their own.

LOL. Its not gunna cost $1500.

Im forking out the money to buy the originals. Im looking at $1000 max to bring them over. I may have found room in a mates container. Hopefully.

I have 3 days till the auction finishes.

I need money. Someone buy my bucket and EBC.

If all your girlies arent keen i will have thm on my car and you can all look/ think of ways to steal them off my car and then use them on yours.

Im going to just rivet them on like 1400R silvia.

Ryans silvia looked hot ass with his over fenders just riveted on.

^^^ brenton mate, read what i wrote. cheapest quote i have to get them containered here is roughly 900, then add in the cost of materials and work involved in making 4 different female molds and you'll realise where the price of 1500 comes from. and i think you'll be very lucky to get them into terry's container for free as they would take up space for items he could personally make money on but you could be lucky.

i agree that overfenders on coupes look hot riveted on but personally i think its gonna look like shit on the four door. the door skins appear to be slightly smaller than an actual door size to allow for blending into the body lines and you will end up with a ring ov rivets on your doors... in the end its your car but...

sooooo since brenton wants to be the only one with them on his car and he was the one that i was originally going to bring them in for looks like you other boys might miss out. talk to him if ya got a problem :P

Edited by M I K E

Oh ffs, even if I dont use them straight away, Its something good to have sitting around as there hard to find.

So what price are we looking at now? or is it just not going to happen?

I have better things to spend money on aswell but this isnt something that happens every day, I've never found a wide rear for 32 four door that hasnt been discontinued.

Man these are sweet!

Also, kinda off topic but, how do you purchase off Yahoo Japan Auctions if you're in Australia? Do you have your own account or u using a mates? (I was told you needed a Japanese Credit Card) Thanks.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
