June 14, 200915 yr comment_286670 Your brother has done an awesome job on the arches., i'm pretty impressed with the end result.The sedan is a nice ride too, all they need is a set of rims and away you go.I'm all for seeing it painted black but it will look killer in any colour you choose even canary yellow.

July 2, 200915 yr comment_288615 Hey buddy anymore updates on this car? Just came across it now. I would love to get stuck into a K one day. Have always liked them and felt kinda sorry for them rotting away unloved in many junkyard in Australia.

July 22, 200915 yr Author comment_290131 Hi Lenny, sorry about the delay in replying. The flares were copied from the original gtr flares, only made shorter ( distance from the ground). The flares were made by a local panel maker, the number was given to me by the local hotrod guys, I'm happy to pass the number on if you wish..The only problem is that they cost me $1650.00 and you need a set of fibreglass ones to copy (which i have). If you are interested please let me know...he has also fabricated rear beaver, lower quarters (front and back), lower doors, lower guards, wiper tray, and inner and outer window gutters for me. Thanks for your kind words on my build...will post photos of the R33 aluminum radiator and intercooler install soon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31880-operation-240k/?&page=3#findComment-290131 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 22, 200915 yr Author comment_290136 Making replacement panel parts aren't to much of a problem...We have templates for some parts, front guards, 2 door lowers and four door lowers, the rear quarter on the coupe are an issue as my replacements parts didn't include the wheel arch, as you can see from the photos there's a fair bit missing because of the flares...as a general rule you cut out the rusted section as good as possible and he will make a replacement with welding rids in place so it doesn't buckle when you weld it in place...by the way his in Melbourne...
