Four Door Rear On A Two Door R33?

[daslingdale]

I want to change the rear of my R33. I never really liked it. Don't get me wrong... I love the tail lights just... nothing else. Wait no it's not that I don't like it it's more I love the rear of the four doors much much more.

Want something smoother since it's a smooth car. And it would look unique.

I haven't see anyone doing this or asking about it. So I thought I might leap in there.

I am guessing maybe getting a halfcut and implementing the rear on my two door? Does anyone know both rears really well? Does anything match up?

If there is an existing topic then give me some search pointers or something?

Cheers

EXPLAIN The look you want a bit more and maybe we can help.. i know a little about mix and matching gtst parts for gts4s so this would be backwards for me but if you could post a pic or something that would help

Never seen a picture of anyone doing it. But it's just the four door boot and rear tail light setup.

But imagine that as a two door? And without the wing. I honestly wish I had a picture.

i personally tried with a 32 and it don't work, so i guess 33 would be the same.

Like pretty much impossible? Or if it was possible it would just cost too much and require a lot of custom work?

you would need to cut the rear quarters out just after the windshield, weld 4 door ones in, modify the boot latches to fit a 4 door boot and modify tail light and rear garnish mounts to make it work. Rear bumper mounts would need to be modified also. I have a feeling that the rears on 4 doors are longer so you would need to cut and weld the boot lid to accommodate.

it is possible... but how deep are your pockets, and how much spare time you got?

Spot on! Sedan boot lids are slightly longer and narrower aswell. Rear quarters are more rounded than coupe ones. would require a lot of work, but im sure it could be done, depending on how deep your pockets are. Just not sure the finished product would look right.

[jeffworld2]

i would cut up the quarters just enough that the lights fit, and fibreglass the gaps. The lights might even not need to be cut out they might be smaller.

for the middle "skyline" section, just cut some alluminium or similar to size and stick it on the back of your factory bootlid, that will give you the crease at the level of the lights.

put on a duckwing or more glass to flush the boot and/or make a little whate tail and your done

[daslingdale]

Interesting. I might shop around for a cheap four door boot lid and rear fascia. See what I can do with it and weigh up my options to which way I will have to go about doing it.

My money is spoken for right now. But I am expecting big bucks at tax time.

not sure if your interested, pretty sure from memory i can get you a 33 4 door rear cut, with bar, no lights no garnish i dont think for about 250$ for you to toy with ...

Didn't know Do Luck made those. That will be my last resort if I cannot get this other thing to work out. The four door rear just looks much sharper.

cant pm, um not sure on shipping its through a mates parts shop.

not sure how heavy it is and how far its got to go, you could always work that out ? lol. i have no idea what a bare rear cut is worth.

dont think so to GTR cut, i just remember him having 2 4 door cuts he offered me
