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?

      It's not any meta data. They have scraped images from everywhere, and then use AI to compare your photo to other photos and work out where you are.

      I just looked at my camera phone settings, apparently I have "not allowed" for location  Will that stop that app?

      Can you not just turn it off on your phone if required? I remember a brief on this, well, I remember the brief, not what to actually do. LOL

      Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?

      Stagea obd II low voltage

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).
