before i made this thread i searched for a month. i live in japan so i have every drift tengoku magazine, option magazine ect ect, i have scoured the net. the only thing i have found is, 1 tiny tiny picture of a silver R33 with abflug flares, but he car is so incredibly riced out that its not an accurate representation of that they would actually look like. also, there is a car by ATTK'D called the "tuoho GTR" its a white R33 gtr with abflug flares and its in option2 from about july/aug time frame.

i have never seen the viva garage over fenders on a 33 gtst. supposedly they are +20 or so, so it would make it look like a GTR in the rear. but, they only go up to the body line, half way up the panel, so they would look liek total shit if you sk me. thats why i am leaning toward the flare route. but there just arent many R33s out there with flares, let alone 33 specific flares and not universal units.

C&Y sports, a prevelant tuning shop is about 3 mins from my house, and they have a silver one in their showroom with flares and a 26 swap, but they got the flares off an old ciffy.

i would hate to think i would be one of only a handful to try out the abflug flares on an R33, but the fact is, i just havent seen them out there.

i guess if you come across anything post it. thanks. "cheers mate" lol.

i had GTR rear quater panels fitted to my 32, cant see why it couldnt be done to a 33. about $1800 for panels Genuine.

payed a beater cash to fit them but if you are a beater/painter it will be easy for you.

hi guys... with the rear quarters i brought genuine 05 STI front guards ($240 each i think) chopped them up and welded them to the rear. Fronts i just cut the lip section off a VL calais front guard welded them on and then pulled my original guards out a bit hope that helps ;)

this is a great thread !!

but how come there are no R32 GTR getting big fenders done ??

i have been eyeballing the Abflug flares, and thats probably what ill end up getting. they are for the GTR but im sure theyll rivet flush on a gtst.

R33 GTSTs are just so narrow, and look like pencils going down the road.

Bit of a thread revival but was wondering if people had some pics of 32's with some mild flares.

I'm going for GTR offset rims so with bigish rubber I'll need a bit of a flare to clear. I want it to stand out but don't want anything bolt on or really big.

I was considering GTR guards but I don't want to look like a slow GTR, I'd prefer to look like a fast GTSt haha.

I just want to know what I want for when I go the the panel beaters. Thanks guys.

i made my own :blush:

hey Kevzilla. great idea moulding STI front guard sections onto your rear quarters. did you cut away the metal from the existing guard that would have been underneath?? how did you clean this up to make it look all smooth inside??

also it looks like you have a GTR front bar but you said your front guards were standard and you just pulled them out a bit.... how did you mount the front bar? looks original too with the plastic bottom lip??

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
