wouldn't you have to change the front bar if you change the front side guards?

yes you can change the rear guards, you just cut them off, and put new ones on, not as easy as it sounds, but to sum it up that all you do

Well mate, I can tell u a bit, cos I did a conversion last year. The guards cost me bout $700-$800 each from Nissan, directly ordered. Because they are the same as the aussie delivered model, R32, dont believe them if they try and charge you freight from Japan when u order them. It wasnt until I had started that I realised that you will also need new guard liners, which I think were $150 each. New GTR indicators to fit the guards are bout $350 a side,again very hard, basically impossible to find second hand.

Im a still trying to work on the side skirts, as due to the flared guard the originals would not fit. I did the front bar and bonnet and grill all original too, so fortunately it all fitted ok.

Another extra cost was the need for spacers for the original wheels as the guards add bout 22mm to each side, so I had to buy 2 sets of those till i found a decent fit.

So be prepared to spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$ on it. Someone reckons mine is only one he knows who have done the whole front end, and I now know why

Good lUCk

Will

A friend of mine who is a fibreglasser will be comin around to look at my front gaurds n bonnet as towords the end of the yr we might be going to make a mould off them and make carbon firbre ones. I will keep you posted if i did sell them they would still be pretty expensive due to the cost of material and how long they take to clean up, but ill let you know:)

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
