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

Stan

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.

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.

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.

$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.

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

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?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
