hii guys i was just wondering if anyone can help me im trying to convert my rear end with the gtr rear quarter panels and with the gtr rear bar which i will get from viva garage does anyone know if i can modify my nismo sideskirts to fit the rear panels and the front fenders or if i need to also get the gtr rear tailgate covers to ? i already have big wheels to fit on along with spacers ? anyone please help

Edited by sevan34

i dont know if the vivagarage ones are for the gtr conversion... i think they may not be but im not 100%

they change the look and make em wider but pretty sure not gtr

sevan: yes, the gt-r conversion is MONSTROUSLY costly, while the body parts themselves may not be overly so, the cost of fitting and spraying it is likely to double the cost of the parts, since the gt-r conversion covers almost all of the car.

I think its estimated at around 6k or so? you could do alot with 6k mate

those are also really expensive, imo if you want a body kit just get something nice that was made for a gt-t, and if you want put a bonnet made for a gt-r on, and a mole to give the front that more round and aggressive look

thanks for the help guys really appreciate it, this is my plan i wana buy the rear fenders and the rear impul rear bumper and get my side skirts modified to fit iv alrerady got monster sized wheels at 18 X 10.5 volk wheels and 38 mm rear spacers so it sits flush with the rear guards im quoted for the parts at $650 including shipping from viva garage and the guys i know quoted me $2200 fitted and sprayed (good mates of mine) is there anything else i should worry about before doing so or am i set for the job ?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
