Hey fellas,

Was wondering, how much would pumping of the back guards cost? Not wanting my R33 GTS-T to look like a GT-R, but just like the look as it looks really nice...

Also, pics of non-GTR's with the above done would also be nice.

Thanks.

That's it mate... the lady at jetspeed that normally says "it'll set you back at ..." is not very helpful at all. :P

But the thing is, I want it done properly... don't know how this can be done. Obviously, they'll have to remove your quarter panel so it will no doubt be a big job!

Give custom bodyworks a call 9773 4339, they were doing a wrx last time i was there, but that was to fit wheels on it, still worth a try though, they do great work

Thanks so much mate... I'll try them.... where are they located?

Anyone pumped a GTS-T before? Pictures please! ;)

I'm sure Primal Garage would be able to help you out. They're just around the corner from Dr Drift's workshop.

Thanks bro.... it is much appreciagted.... I rang them, they can indeed do it... they sound pro and knowledgable too... they quoted me $2K for pumping, prepping and paint.... not bad....

^^^ Yes, their work is very good!! They specialize in this type of work on these sort of cars too (Silvia's, Skylines, etc). If I were to get any guard work (which won't be too far down the track) this is the only place i'd go to!

maybe a n00bish question, but please dont flame, but, putting gtr rear guards on a gtst... can/how is it done?

From what I know and after contacting Primal panels - they put on fibreglass flares... then repaint the whole quater-panel.

It should be very nice and unnoticable.

or you could just put on GTR panels like everyone else does.

GTR rear quarters are joined at the c-pillar to the roof etc, putting new metal quarters on a GTSt is kinda hard.

Do you have any pictures of what a GTST would look like with GTR pumped/flared guards??

Does it look nice or shonky?

oops, thought we were talking about the front guards.

although, there is a guy around these parts driving around with genuine rear GTR guards on his GTSt. had it cut at the c-pillar too, big job.

GTSt rear quarters are joined at the c-pillar too, seen a fresh one from nissan at the workshop before.

Ive done it to my car.. as mentioned in another thread, costs around $3000, very big job.

I had the GTR fibreglass add-ons guards before, and over time they start to crack, and the paint finish will nowhere near be as good as a metal GTR guard.

I was thinking of going fibreglass for now due to cost... I know it's a quick fix... would it last 2-3 years... not expecting something top-notch... any advice? Anyone done this to their car - please post up pics?

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
