Wide Fender Problems...

[CR34M]

Hi all,

I had a question in mind that seems to be a bit sketchy. Im sourcing some Cross Factory rear Quarter panels that are about 30mm wider than the 34 GTR wide panels and im getting some front Cross Factory fenders aswell that are bout the same size as the standard GTR 34 factory fenders.

The question is my car is a 25GT and as you all know the panels are flat and arn't very agressive in looks, i know its not so dificualt to bolt these parts on to my car normally but i have a full bomex kit that i purchased and is sitting in my room to be kitted up to my stock looking 34.

the problem is will the side skirts and rear bar stretch to the wider fenders and will it look ok? i seen it done on a bomex kit before but i don't know if the rear bar was a customised version, would i need alot of improvisation and customisation myself??! Is this possible to achieve or do i need to go out and buy a new kit that fits the GTR's?

This is my problem and i havnt really asked around yet cause i havnt exactly purchased the parts, but i will be soon, either way i guess worst case im going to have to sell my kit if it doesnt fit and re- purchase all the parts again but as a diff kit for GTR's....argh the agony...

If anyone can help it'd be very much appreciated!

I think it would depend whether or not the guards that you are lookin at getting were designed for the gtr or the gtt/gt, if they are designed for a gtr then you probably will need a new kit to match them but otherwise you might be able to get away with it if they are designed for the gtt/gt.

That said, being that much wider (which should look hawt!) do you know how it looks coming down to the skirts? ie: does it stay wide? or pull in as it gets lower?

Get your wallet out and ask them to fit them up.. enjoy the labor cost..

FYI look into a Fibreglass GTR kit in IMPUL.. it looks best.. no doubt.

Just buy the full Cross Factory Kit, it looks sex.

Good luck with it all, I was origonally going to buy Cross Factory parts, but I couldn't justify the outlay.

Yeh i was orignally gonna repurchase the whole kit! but it costs too much, if i didnt buy the Bomex kit for GT/GTT then yeah....i've heard mixed opinions that it can and can't be done, so i guess it depends on how much i end up spending.

To answer the quesiton about the fenders, The rear panels like a GTR come in slowly toward the skirts and the skirts themselves don't stick out like the Sunline wide kit for example...

Also, i have to respray my whole car since i got an aftermaket hood GTT Trial style and thats gonna be black, i have to fit it paint my mirrors black and my carbon fibre boot will be white though...spoiler GTR high bar will be black...along with my matt black rims will look like a serious J-style 34...along with the bomex kit (hopefully customised to the wider fenders) and the rest of the car stays white.

Well personally i think even the wider fenders when they pull in toward the car still makes the 34 alot more agressive and brings out the true character of the car (just my opinion) i think that agressiveness in itself really intimidates other drivers on the road, no matter what car they have, even if it be another skyline, if at worst case i will have to sell my bomex kit, and repurchase the new gtr kit...*sighs*

I really wanted it all done by the time i get off my suspension at the end of October but its looking less likely that ill even be able to mount the nismo clear lights indicators and new xenons by the time i figure out whats happening lmao...ah well thanks for the help peeps... will post pics up as soon as i put it all together...

hey im also doing the same, i dont think your bomex GTT kit will line up with them guards as they come out wider you'll need an actual kit for GTR and GTR tail light covers.., heres a pic of it lined up on my car
