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

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
