rolling the guards doesnt sound like it'll help...you need actual flaring....

look on nissansilvia.com...there's a guy that rolls and flares guards...i'd say with the amount you want it flared, factor in $ for a respray :(

most panel shops can flare guards, but 1 inch is alot, and could look silly, + you will most likely have to respray the rear quarters as you will flake/chip the paint in the process.

are the rims 2 peice rims or anything ?

is this on a 32. 33 or silvia or?

beautiful

was hoping you would say that ...

u can order a rim (outside part excluding the centre) to the desired offset, well the correct offset and simply bolt your centre back in and ur done. Depending on the brand of wheel also.

dont stuff around with the guards, they look stupid flared unless u cut them off and put gtr guards on, or get a crappo wide body fibreglass thing and cut the shit out of the guards anywho ..

even lipping the guards there is a danger in damaging the paint no matter how good the person is at doing it, especially if its been sprayed at a panel shop outside the factory.

the coat of paint is thicker, and the grade of paint could be poor.

Try to get a new outside rim for your wheels.

Sounds to me like you've got the wrong offset...

I've got 18x9 +35 on the rear of my 33, with 255's and they don't rub at all....I had 265's on at one stage and they didn't rub either...

yeah my 225/40s are fine on the fronts no probz just the rear my 265/35's are the probz wat is the offest surpost to be? and wat camber are have u got ur car on atm?

try raising your suspension.. it may actually improve your handling.

i thought the lower ur car the better the handeling and also if u had adjustable sway bars to stiffen ur body is this correct or not? :(

my wheels also stick out a tiny bit at the back..

since i got whiteline suspension stuff the car sits 1cm lower or so but it doesnt rub against the guards as much now.. only when i go over stupid train tracks and crap.

with the stock suspension it would rub when there was 3 ppl in the car and u were just driving along normaly.

rubbing would occur wen 3 or full load is in the car over bumpz or turning i think i need to harden up the rear any thoughts abt that pplz? so at least i can carrie a full load with out it touching as much.....and wat is this whiteline suspension sutff? :(

not necessarily.. depends on your setup. sometimes too low is not going to give you enough suspension travel, thus making handling worse.

atm it handles really good i like it sits nice looks good however the slight rubbing is eating away my tyres thats the bad thing

ok soo far the things

get new rims

change the centre bit of the rim get correct offset

and rise the car up :(

soo once agn wat abt making the suspentions harder like just enough so it isnt going to touch evan with a full load?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
