  • Just got an 89 GTS4 Sedan in the US need some advice.

    Greetings from the US,

    I've already posted in the new members section, but I'll reintroduce myself.

    Firstly, I know I'm not Canadian but since there's not much of a Skyline scene here relative to anywhere else I've joined to do some research and ask questions.

    Here's a description of what I'm working with.

    89 HNR32

    66k Km and virtually no rust. All stock except for exhaust!

    My first and foremost question is who exactly makes wide rear overfenders for 4 door R32's? I've been doing some research and I've seen them on some sedans but can't find a reliable description of a source.

    Any help appreciated!

    Ask a panel beater to custom make the rear fenders out of sheet metal for a factory finish.

    Here's an example of R32 4 door in black with a RB29 engine, custom overfenders (car No 9) -

    Last year I decided to do a Top 10 of 2010, featuring the cars that were the most prominent and quality builds of that year. It was received incredibly well, so here is this year's countdown.


    Or you could adapt some fibreglass copy overfenders from a 240Z to fit on a R32 (what some people do) -

    Get the best deals for 240z Fender Flares at eBay.com. We have a great online selection at the lowest prices with Fast & Free shipping on many items!


    For example, 240Z overfenders on a R32 2 door racecar -

    jonsibal.com features Jon Sibal's digital automotive art renderings.


    That's if you like to do it yourself.

    With R32 GTS-4 you can convert into a 4 door R32 GTR with R32 GTR drivetrain, etc from a crashed R32 GTR.

    I think you fit R32 GTR front bumper, R32 GTR rear spoiler, R32 GTS 2 door tail light's, trunk lid modified to suit, R32 GTS rear bumper, factory R32 4 door side skirts.

        Haha not at all,

        I was hoping to at least have something to work with which it does seem that I have my work cut out for me.

        I did find out about some china made fenders. Even if they don't fit very well, I would have something to go off of.

        That's fine.

        Here's pics of her. Again, I'm sort of hesitant to cut her open even if this car isn't all that "special".







        Also, this type of stuff isn't my first rodeo.







        Overall excited with the new platform!

            Someone on here has done the R32 GTR 4 door look (not the engine part that I know of, but have seen that conversion elsewhere) before and widened near the rear doors. The photo's might be still here if you search. From memory, same grey colour too.

            But with really widened fenders is not something someone has done that I know of and can run a Bee-R style body kit for the R34 GTR look.
