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

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.

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
