ok guys this is my second post for SAU but for those of you that frequent NS.com you may know me as 1ATSXDRFT

anyhow, following on from gumnuts thread about the sedan overfenders i'm looking at bringing them over :blink:

now for it to be economically feasable for myself to do so i will be making copies of these guards and selling them (gonna cost about ~1k to get the originals here)

if this goes ahead the kit will consist of both rear quarters (~+50mm) and a pair of rear door skins and the price will be set at ~600 bucks for the set (dependant on final purchase price, how much work i have to put into them to make them fit nice, cost of laying up moulds, materials etc) and should have some ready in about 3 months time :wave: (damn containers take so long to get here :) )

Whats so funny

Its either we buy them and make copies.

or buy them and paint them white and stick them on my car with no moulds and every four door owner who wants to make there rears wider gets to miss out.

your such a bum head Ryan.

ill take 3!!!

Seriously though Id absolutely love a set, I've been looking for ages and I'm willing to do just about anything to get some (especially if they cover the dents in the back of my car).

None for me... I only buy body parts that are already the right colour and ready to fit :P Nah got no money and got more important things to spend money on, like a bigger turbo... :)

Would love some though, would look sick and cover my damage well too :P, but then dont have the wheels to fill the guards etc etc. :D

I used to think you were kewl. Spacers are your friend. get a nice wide track, makes for easier sliding.

Dont be soft, go wide for your ride or gimmie cash so I can.

does the car have to be ruber back to metal where the urethane goes or will the paint be strong enough to hold?

dont the rivets stick out too much to blend in?

how do they attach to the wheel arch? can the original wheel arches be cut out so the wheels can get right up behind the wide gaurds or are they needed for suport?

sorry for all the questions

to be honest i'm not a panel beater so i wouldn't be able to tell you, i only have limited information that i have gathered from panel beater mates, so i would recommend speaking to someone about fitting them if you are going to do it yourself.

i said rivets because i'm not sure if glue will be enough to hold them there even if you glass them in but as you said they wouldn't sit flush as there are no recesses in the panels to put them - something i might look into putting in?

looking at the pictures, it appears the guards are fixed to the lower section of the arches only which means you can cut out/bash up/whatever you want to do to your existing guards

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
