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?

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
