R33 Gtr Front Guards On Gtst

[candy33]

Need help guys.. about to buy gtr front guards for my GTST, just wondering if it will bolt up with the standard GTST bonnet.

Ive compared the 2 cars side by side and can't really notice anything too different about it.

Any help would be apprecaited.

I think so too.

I've done this on my car. Don't bother. The R33 GTR bonnet is longer and higher. It needs to be changed. Even the headlights, which look identical, are different. The GTR headlights have spacers to push them out further forward. Here is a list of items which need to be changed. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't need to change headlights or that you dont need the front guards raisers. Everything needs to be changed. It ends up a VERY expensive exercise. Trust me I know...

GTR Bonnet.

GTR Bonnet Hinges.

GTR Bonnet Latch.

GTR Guards.

GTR Guard Raisers (Piece of metal which sits above front aprons to raise the guards.

GTR Headlights.

GTR Front Bar.

hey does ant one know if its the same for a 32 to put gtr guards on a gtst

I think the R33 is the worst model to do the GTR front on as you need headlights and the raisers in addition to all the other crap. From memory on the R32 and R34 you don't need the guard raisers or headlights.

Here are some pics off my phone...

The front has been resprayed black (looks mint). But the rest of the body could use a spray. I can't really be bothered with the car anymore. Will probably be up for sale soon. It's a Manual Turbo. Probably looking at around 12.5k if anyone is interested.

what bonnet is that? looks hot?

So your selling lol wouldnt wanna sell me the gaurds, headlights and bonnet then? haha

$400 a guard. But i'm not going ahead with it now. as it seems liek its way too much headache and $$

[mikymouse]

Not sure what bonnet, came off a half-cut from Japan. GTR Bonnets are soo expensive. You'll need more than the gaurds, headlights and bonnet buddy. From someone who has done it, not worth the headache.
