What do you guys think about this project?

[gtrlux]

Just a little photoshop, but would look cool with wide arches I think.

The trouble with a rear arch kit would be the rear doors. The gap between the edge of the wheel arch and the dorr is only about 3 or 4 cm. So you would need to make a door panel as well.

why jon can i not see some of the pictures on threads ?. i am after all a fully paid up member..

[Fuggles]

I think it is not really a problem. The wheels arch enlargement would be mounted over the arch and door section (in first place you couldn't open the door anymore). Then the panel would be cut for the door to open and the sides adjusted for perfect door fittement. A bit like the wide arch kit for the R34 GT-X 4 door saloon , as in this picture:


I think that as anyway this would need a custome job, the R34 GTT to GTR arch conversion kit from Cross Factory could be used and decut.
The front of the car in the photoshop has actually the wide front arch from Piers car (Sunline Racing) and a Do-luck front bumper. The side skirts would also have to be custome. . .a lot of work and money

Hi mate, you have to see your internet settings and IP settings. The pic is visible from my two computers. It was uploaded by ImageShack.

I can mail you the pic if you pm me your email.

You could buy a pair of r34 GTR 1/4 panels from a damaged car, weld them on and then cut the door shuts. You would then use steel fillets in the gaps down the door and 1/4 panel edges, fill and paint! Easy peasy!!


Well, if you got the balls and the talent.

I got the balls........................!

I reckon I know a guy who could do it. I might even lend him my spare RS-Four to practice with. If there's enough interest then it could work out quite good. So, assuming it works on my RS-Four I'll get it done on my GT-Four. So that's one provisional order already

[stagea-RS4-96]

I'd consider it as a direct fit kit, but would have to be steel though, would then get a pair of 34gtr front wings and graft the arches from those onto the Stage wings too!

Would look kinda good with my 34gtt front bumper and a set of light brows!!
