You might have to work your guards to achieve this look, most panel beaters can do this.

You'll need a chat with couple of panel beater and go from there.

Hope it helps.

Yeah I'm aware of that. I just want some more pics and ideas.

Alright, maybe try looking at nissansilvia.com forums, pretty sure these guys do this kind of thing to their cars quite often.

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??

Yer with both front and rear i cut away some of the existing metal because having rims wide enough to fill the guards they will rub against the standard body. The front bar is a genuine GTR with plastic lip...pulling the guards out a bit made the bar sit ok. only problem now is there's a gap between the headlights and the bar because for some reason the gtst guards and bonnet seem to be shorter than the GTR ones.

This is what I ended up getting done.

It's about 1 inch wider at the back and front was a bit less. It's plenty though for the GTR offset (+30) rims and fatter rubber. The paint did crack however so they needed to be touched up.

Pics aren't the best.

Has anyone bought any rear guard flares from Topstage on their R33? I am thinking of getting some done by Topstage but would like to see some results please... many thanks...

Anyone have any idea where I can get bolt ons like these?

u can get some like them i think from tokage on the gold coast ... think they look very similar, they really look good n 32s..

i was thinking guys instead of pricey sti guards why not go to a wreckers n just get honda legend guards

Hi Shane,

Thanks for that mate... I am so looking forward to getting them done but pictures would be super.

I will PM you now. Thanks again, buddy.

sorry for the late reply: firstly, try this

i've uploaded a couple of pics there. i've also included another pic i found of the guards in progress, and also some pics of freddy from topstage at work.

Freddy's design ideas and creativity are amazing. i told him what i wanted, i showed him some pics of some idea cars, and he/we came out with a rough draft of what you see below. There was another final draft after this one that i signed off on and we started working with, but that's just an example for you.

The guards I don't even remember getting done now, it was so long ago and there was so much work going on with my ride that i don't remember how long he took with them. I know the front guards were extremely quick, and he smoothed out the indicator lights seemlessly and waited for after painting to do the grill, but i'm sure you can work this out with him. As for the rear guards, this was a lot of work! the amount of hours of labour that went into them was crazy, but the end result is amazing. it's fibreglass over the metal shell, so i've strengthened my car up with strut bars front and rear and never once has any of the fibreglassing cracked. I guess some things did take some time, but with another daily car it never mattered so i didn't notice.

The best thing about Topstage and Freddy is he is honest and helpful! I've had 3 front bars proir to this custom one and his quality is 100 times better than any previous bar. The costs involved were very competitive, as mentioned i tried 3 previous places and searched the net for days before deciding on topstage. if you wanna see my car at any time, or any specific questions please buzz me anytime.

cheers,

shane

p.s. if your guards are too wide your wheel offset may look a little silly. i've got 4 sets of spacers, the fronts are on all the time but the rears i no longer use due to the tires rubbing because the car sits low. if you want the pair, we can work something out.

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
