I guess this is a subject that pops up now and then with no real resolved ideas.

I have a S1 R33 gts-t 4door AUTO. It has the full m-spec body kit already.

NOW..... i am putting the FULL factory R33 GTR front end on it. I prefer the std look not the N1 etc.

All i want to do, is add the WIDE rear guards like the AUTECH 4door gtr version..... thats it....... no prawn trawler body kits etc ..... Just an identical wide rear guard.

I will mold the m-spec side skirts to fit front and rear..

Has anyone done this at all ????? (i think i read 1 guy did, was full custom, any pics mate ?) If i cannot buy replica guards that look EXACTLY like the autech, then i will get it custom done in metal.

Oh, and for those who bag people who do GTR stuff on there GTS-T's, the motor is a full house RB 2630DETT with twin GT-RS's running pump OR Methanol when racing, so im not pussy footing around.

However STILL using a worked AUTO. Oh and i will be putting on those awesome "GTS-R" badges east bear make !! ;)

Yeah i have resigned to the fact that i will have to Rhys, which isnt a bad thing, as it means i will have quite a unique car.

Because for the 4dr gtr's, they only ever came in S2 spec.... notice the popped out rear taillights.... which i hate. So i will make a S1 4dr autech gts-r haha :(

Hey mate,

Just done a wide rear guards for a gtr on my gts-4 2door coupe atm...contact PSI Parts in Dandenong Melb, or www.psiparts.com.au

They are fibreglass guards for $299, if your after metal guards from a GTR unsure, guess it'll have to be custom

Dan

My mates actually looking at doing the same conversion but super widebody on a 4dr 32...will let you know how that goes

Edited by ShyBoi
Yeah let us know Dan, thanks

Unfortunately the only rear fenders i've seen , including yours are for the coupe version of the gtst ... nothing for the sedan .

Gary

start with the coupe fenders and modify em. most of the 4 door skins I've seen look like arse or something out of a sci fi movie.

I thought the same about the coupe rear fenders they do , can't say they look like a gtr fender..... more a compromise.

This is not a job for the average panel beater..... its needs the attention of a wizz. I know just the guy up here in the north..... problem is getting his time !!

What would be good is to know someone with an autech 4dr gtr so i could get some measurements.......

Anyone got any really high res photos of the 4dr gtr's ? All the pics or vid online ive seen is pretty crappy....... need some good pics to show panel guy.

Hi Bud,

Ive been looking at doing this for a very long time, ive even tried talkin to nissan/ autech in japan to see if I can get the specs of the rear panels on the autech 4 door but with no luck. I was even told to order rear quarters i would need a vin number of an autech edition :cool:

Anyway i spoke to the fella who owns www.jessestreeter.com and he mentioned to me that if i can get a part number for these panels from nissan he should be able to get it, but there in lies the issue....

Il add some pics up and from what i can see the autech wider body starts from the middle of the rear doors and from what ive noticed on my 4 door there is a little bulge but no where as near as the autech.

Lemme know if you hear anything coz im interested as you can see.

Heres some of the other kits ive been looking at from japan just out of interest.

Aero Palace( http://www.aeropalace.co.jp/sports)in japan have 3 kits , Impul, BN and their own for an r33 4 door. I even thought of taking the rear quarters from the BN Kit and try to reduce the width since i didnt want the wide body look.

Heres some pics as well.

enr33...r u sure, cause I have a GTS-4 and the chassis no. is ENR33 ... :P

that's exactly what they're based on... R33 GTS4's 4 door sedans. Basically the chassis is put together at nissan, but before the mechanicals go onto it, its pulled off the line and sent to Autech/Nismo/Altia/HKS etc.

If you punch the number in Nissan FAST, a blue box pops up and tells you that its a special edition and that you need to contact the shop for further details.

LOL :)

So what happend to the Vin number of an autech. Also there was a fella on this forums a while ago, pretty sure from qld who did a couple of mock ups of the autech. I cant for the life of me remember his name.

Anyone know his name maybe his contact numbers??? he might still have the moulds???

your best bet is to grab an R33 2 door GTS to GTR conversion kit ("skyline imports" in QLD had a copy of one back in the day 9 years ago, so I'm sure they're floating around oz) and then chop the rear and custom fit it to the door etc.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
