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?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
