Where To Go For Pumped Guards; Any Contacts?

[satanic]

Thinking about pumping out all four guards on the 34 to accomodate some wider wheels and get a beefier look... been quoted around $1k including spraying from a prestige panel beaters in the local area... was just wondering if anyone here has any reccomendations or advice?

So if you have photos, experience with this type of body work, do's/don'ts please kindly post them up.

Looking at getting this done in a month or so

Thanks

Should've bought a GTR

Wider guards standard

[satanic]

LOL was about $10k short when I bought my car and really didn't want to blow all my money on a car @ 19

[N1GTR]

In all seriousness, just buy GTR guards

Wont be cheap

[satanic]

Still need the rears done

[N1GTR]

Heres what the GTR rears look like (even with the small extension, you get the idea)

Are your the same?

Actually this is a much better pic..

[satanic]

Hey maybe you're right and the rears are the same Mmm, does anyone have any contacts?

BTW Steve, cheers for that contact yesterday... called them up and sorted out those fittings - they'll be delivered to me today (not expensive either)

thats a bad example of the Z Tune dude they got different guards then GTRs... rears have the attechment lips and fronts are slightly wider and have that stupid looking edgy top part.

I had a pair of genuine front GTR guards but sold them for $600.

Thats why i added the other pics - i saw the attachment after id posted it

For fronts you could save some dough and get fibreglass ones as opposed to GTR ones.

Would make the car lighter too.

However I know they're made for 32 & 33 but not sure for 34.

Ive been looking around for this to get done also. Replacement front guards & pumped rears are usually the best way to go.

or better yet you could get the real thing

There's always GTR front guards on Yahoo Japan. Some need a bit of filler and a respray but that's par for the course and you were going to respray them anyway. These are the best option for the front.

The rears are doable with factory rear quarter panels as well but you're basically going to have to respray the whole car that way. There's been a bloke trying to sell a GTR rear quarter panel on Yahoo for a couple of weeks now he's only asking 40,000...

The GTR rears are significantly different to the GT-T rear guards...

I've been looking into this too, Stan, and cannot seem to break the 1G quote for getting front and rears pumped. That does seem like the best solution, though.

Someone was actually selling a set of fibreglass GT-R guards on ebay modified to fit a GTT last week. Sold for like $600 or so I think.

[satanic]

$1k was a ballpark figure I was given last night when I made an enquiry with the shop. Given that they do European cars mostly (repairs to BMW M3 guards) they would be more expensive but have the right tools and experience.

I'm going to have a hunt around, will post up if I find anywhere that's a little lower but of the same quality.

[N1GTR]

Why dont you buy the guards, and spray them and fit them at NBP?

You guys have the spray gun dont you? I think i remember seeing something like that when i was there

That way the cost should be HEAPS lower

Rocco's Skyline Pump n' Gym.

Where da muscles are made. Do eet nowh!

[satanic]

LOL Steve, spray painting is the one things we WON'T do even if we have the gear.

I'll shop around; can anyone confirm if the GTR guards will just bolt on or will they need modifying?

[N1GTR]

I think they should fit

[wilch]

Depends on the headlights and bonnet I guess.

But Rocco will sort that out. He'll give the car some protein drinks to sculpt it some.
