R32 Gtst Rear Wide Custom Job

[Proximity Motorsport]

Hey,

I have an r32 gts-t, and I have recently pulled the motor out to spray the engine bay and whole car. At the moment the car has a original gtr full front end, and the rear is standard, just slightly rolled. I'm trying to decide which way to go for wide rear. If anyone has ever cut slits in their gaurds and rolled them more, or fitted aftermarket panels themselves and have pics to go with, or any tips please post them up.

Also if I was to fiberglass to the car, should I grind the paint back to bare metal or just glass onto the paint. I'm not too sure about if it will rust. Cheers

hpi did it the slits to the century, cant remember what issue though sorry... they just slit them, bent them up, then hi-filled it and filed back... it looked the goods.

they also fitted a widebody kit to the drift battle silvia.. i think they just sikaflexed and rivetted the panel in place, then added hi fill to blend it in..

you wont be able to fibreglass straight the the car, you have to screw, glue, or rivet a panel in place, then hi fill around it, so no dont rub back to bare metal. sikaflx around the edges keeps water out and provides a barrier between the panel and the paint.

if you want to do it properly, ive seen some r32 gtr rear guards (actual panels) for $350. you'll have to cut your panels out and get the gtr ones welded in, which shouldnt be a drama for a panel shop, but its a lot of work.

have you got any pics of yours with the 32 gtr front and stock rear??

im tossing up whether to do the same thing or not. i dont want it to look like a gtr.. but i dont like most of the r32 widebody kits

I saw them do it to the century... I think I might do it like that... Im just worried about how it will turn out.

What is "hi-fill" ? Is it just bog made for filling quite thick layers?

These are the only 2 pics i have on this computer of the car... the rear gaurds atm are slightly flared
