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??

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
