Hi People,

Ive got a 33 4door sedan. I want to do some body work to it and im just after some info.

I like the 33 GTR front end, how hard is it and what do i need to look for, for the wider tougher look like the front of a GTR do I just need to find Original GTR Quarter panels and front bar and just fit it on or do i need something else to give it the wider look.

For the rear being a sedan ive looked around but cant find anything that gives it a wider look that will match the front. I tried looking at the autech 4 door gtr edition but i cant find any parts for it. Does any out there know of wider rear panels and where i can get them.

I dont want a wide body kit id like it to look neat, tough and suttle.

Hope you guys can help.

Hey dude

R33 GTR original parts can replace the WHOLE front end. I know some people use just the bumper, but it wont give the wide look your after. I believe you will need all parts that make up the front end of the GTR ie guards, front bumper, reo, lights, and bonnet, maybe even the bonnet hinges.

As for the rear end, R33 GTR 4 Door was made by Autech, the rear 1/4 panels and doors are custom. I think a guy named Ernest Parry once did a 33 Sedan to 33 GTR sedan conversion. Apparently there are a couple floating around OZ.

If you want it slightly wider and subtle, the best i can suggest is custom hand flaring/pumping of the guards, that way the amount of extra width is up to you and you can also fit wider wheels :rofl: (as opposed to "bolt-on flares"), probably cheaper than sourcing Autech parts too.

cheers

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
