THEN!

put the r34 gtr wheels on..

and as you say ryan..  

Its is possible, just expensive, Denzo from JMS did it to his 33, apparently its a matter of cutting off your rear quarters and re-attaching (ie weld) gtr ones on. Then smooth over with body filler. As for the fronts they should just bolt on from looking at them unless theres some attachment point that the GTS-t don't have. You could always try to making copies by molding up the guards with light alloy and they fiber glassing over them. I know the VIP guys from Japan love to do this. :D

yeah.. i know about Denzo's car.. i read it in Sp33d

but he says.. thet it was a hell of a job.. so i'm thinking the front ones would be easier... but the rear ones might be a lot harder...

i found them at Unique Autosports... www.nismo.com.au

then just go to a panelbeater or something and then mould them into the sideskirts that you have...

THEN.. r34 wheels

Those lip tack-ons look horrible!

Well you can the guards flared in any car... popular thing done on commodores and things for 20 years to fit wider rims so i can't imagine any pro panel beater having trouble doing it (at least fronts).

Seems like a heck of a lot of money/effort when there are plenty of other rims that *will* fit just fine.

It all depends on whether you intend on keeping your car a while. If you do then go do it, it looks awesome, cause for the money it costs you won't get back when you sell it. i'm not sure of the exact price so I'm just guessing here. I was considering buying a 4 door R32 gts 4 at one stage (before I bought the VL) and molding up the guards with fiberglass and body filler and a few light welds of a light sheet alloy and making something unique, to look like a 4 door gtr. If your dead set on having the rear guards ring a few good panel shops and they may be able to do some custom work. Other wise contact JMS ([email protected]) and ask, you may be able to get the guards for a reasonable price and get a panel shop to quote them fitted.

yeah, can't u just flare the guards which are already there?? if u can bang something back into shape, can't u bang something into a shape that u want?? :mad:

here's a R34 GT-T, 4dr which has had the guards flare. Pretty spot on job....well at least i think they've been flared and nothing has been welded or stuck on.

that's a real GTR front bar, and if the front guards aren't flared, it ain't gonna fit.

'ylwgtr' was telling me about it. PM him if ya want, he was gonna mould me a R34 GTR front bar. So he might know about what to do with the guards.

Those guards are definately not flared and have had some serious mods to get them to look like that. All flaring and rolling of the guards does is take the inner lip of the guard and flatten it out. Then the guards are stretched outwards givving maybe a cm or two more width. No where near as much as that R34.

Tell me about it.

The r33 GT-R and r34 GT-R wheels are so goddamn sweet.

Unfortunately the 33 wheels are $2,500-$3,000... maybe...

Thanks guys.....Dark...mine was a GTST....The JUN kit made it look like a R. The R rim just fit prefectly, it's off 38 9" at front & rear. I preasonally scare that is too big for front...however, it's saft to put that on. It's my dream rim......I got it fm a friend's GTO which came w/ that..but it's not going to fit GTO...so he offer that to me.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA

      That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
