Pumping Of Guards...

[Spunky Munky]

Hey fellas,

Was wondering, how much would pumping of the back guards cost? Not wanting my R33 GTS-T to look like a GT-R, but just like the look as it looks really nice...

Also, pics of non-GTR's with the above done would also be nice.

Thanks.

That's it mate... the lady at jetspeed that normally says "it'll set you back at ..." is not very helpful at all.

But the thing is, I want it done properly... don't know how this can be done. Obviously, they'll have to remove your quarter panel so it will no doubt be a big job!

Give custom bodyworks a call 9773 4339, they were doing a wrx last time i was there, but that was to fit wheels on it, still worth a try though, they do great work

I'm sure Primal Garage would be able to help you out. They're just around the corner from Dr Drift's workshop.

Thanks bro.... it is much appreciagted.... I rang them, they can indeed do it... they sound pro and knowledgable too... they quoted me $2K for pumping, prepping and paint.... not bad....

^^^ Yes, their work is very good!! They specialize in this type of work on these sort of cars too (Silvia's, Skylines, etc). If I were to get any guard work (which won't be too far down the track) this is the only place i'd go to!

From what I know and after contacting Primal panels - they put on fibreglass flares... then repaint the whole quater-panel.

It should be very nice and unnoticable.

or you could just put on GTR panels like everyone else does.

GTR rear quarters are joined at the c-pillar to the roof etc, putting new metal quarters on a GTSt is kinda hard.

Do you have any pictures of what a GTST would look like with GTR pumped/flared guards??

Does it look nice or shonky?

exactly....what i was thinking...

is there any risk of the FG flares falling off at a later stage?

oops, thought we were talking about the front guards.

although, there is a guy around these parts driving around with genuine rear GTR guards on his GTSt. had it cut at the c-pillar too, big job.

GTSt rear quarters are joined at the c-pillar too, seen a fresh one from nissan at the workshop before.

would be a big job to transplant genuine gtr guards onto a gtst... but if the car was being resprayed it wouldnt matter too much....

Ive done it to my car.. as mentioned in another thread, costs around $3000, very big job.

I had the GTR fibreglass add-ons guards before, and over time they start to crack, and the paint finish will nowhere near be as good as a metal GTR guard.

I was thinking of going fibreglass for now due to cost... I know it's a quick fix... would it last 2-3 years... not expecting something top-notch... any advice? Anyone done this to their car - please post up pics?

Advice... sell the gts-t and import a gtr if you want the fat guards.
