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??

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
