So my car was in a bit of an accident and a rear quater has been pretty badly damaged.

Before this happened I had the rear guards rolled and flared and I have never been happy with the way they turned out.

The paint is chipping away and they look all warped, so Im going to try and fix all this at once.

I have spoken to a few panel shops but am still undecided as to what I should do.

My options are:

- Replace rear quater and fix flares... this is the most expensive option

- Try and repair quater and fix flares.... probably not much cheaper than the first option

- Use fiberglass quaters.... going to be heaps cheaper as the panel doesnt need to be repaired or replaced and it fixes the flares at the same time. It also gives me an extra 20mm or so to fit more rubber.

Im leaning towards the fiberglass option atm but I wanted to get some opinions first.. anyone used them? where can I get them?

Also, with the fiberglass quaters I can choose wether to just rivet them on there or actually blend them into the existing panels.

If I blend them they will look better but there is no gaurantee that they wont crack.

Anyone had any experience with this?

if the over fenders are done properly, they won't crack.

these guys use to make the R33 GTR style over fenders for GTST, but isn't listed anymore, try sending them a PM and hopefully they may have a spare set lying around.

full gtr style over fender for a gtst, they also have half style ones too. The only bad thing is this mob is in the UK so shipping might be pricey. I got an estimate for these to be shipped to me in perth and it was 125 british pounds.

I had GTR over fenders on my old 33.

You can either get:

GTR fibreglass and mould them into the body (PSI Parts, Melbourne) is where I got mine

Cross Factory has them in Japan

EPR in UK has them

Possibly Viva Garage may have them, not 100% sure

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
