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?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
