nah, u got it all wrong, wide track is tough, skinny track is well gay. wide gaurds are boonta, stock rear on a four door even with rolling and flaring is like the little lacey bit that hangs out of your silk nightey skirt, its just wrong and needs to be done proper.

look at the pros and the con's.

gay or tough

skinny or boonta

dicks or chicks

wide wheels or space savers

Not interested in spending ~$1500 (+ possibly new wheels and spacers) on looks, would rather spend that on a performance mod that would make the car go faster :D
skinny or boonta
As above
dents or rivits
Dents are annoying, but with the fibreglass, if it happens again, it's not gonna be pretty. And I dont think the rivets thing looks great. My opinion anyway
dicks or chicks
I guess, but not all that interested in a girl that just wants the car.
wide wheels or space savers
I can fit 18x10s on the back now without rubbing, dont think I'd really be getting rims wider than that.
normal or something different

Same as the first 2 points

Basically, I would rather spend that much money on something that would increase the performance of my car. Right now, I need more power, so all funds go towards a new turbo so I can get more speed going into turn 1 and dont need to clutch a lot during turn 2

Sure having wider guards will let me increase track etc, but I could just as easily spend ~$2000 (guards + painting + BFO spacers) to have my shocks rebuilt with better pistons, more valves etc and have it grip a shitload more like that.

From a perforamance point of view, it is very poor value for money and that's what I care about the most.

dont think u understand how much he is going to be making them for. I may be wrong but $1500 is what its costing him to buy them and then copy them so we can have them for around $600 depending how hard it is for him to copy them. I'm a tight ass and you know why, so for me to think this is a good buy means its good shit. haha

Even if it's $600, add fitting and painting (I cant do it myself) and it's possibly gonna run me in the range of at least $1200. And then after that, I'd probably have to get a kit to go with it to really look the goods, so that's another big wad of cash. If I'm doing all of that, I may aswell get the whole car resprayed at the same time as it's a bit rough. So it'll all add up to a lot of money :D

It may be quite cheap compared to everything else on the market, but it will do nothing for performance, so I dont think its necessary until I've got lots of money and nothing to spend it on.

Each to their own.

LOL. Its not gunna cost $1500.

Im forking out the money to buy the originals. Im looking at $1000 max to bring them over. I may have found room in a mates container. Hopefully.

I have 3 days till the auction finishes.

I need money. Someone buy my bucket and EBC.

If all your girlies arent keen i will have thm on my car and you can all look/ think of ways to steal them off my car and then use them on yours.

Im going to just rivet them on like 1400R silvia.

Ryans silvia looked hot ass with his over fenders just riveted on.

^^^ brenton mate, read what i wrote. cheapest quote i have to get them containered here is roughly 900, then add in the cost of materials and work involved in making 4 different female molds and you'll realise where the price of 1500 comes from. and i think you'll be very lucky to get them into terry's container for free as they would take up space for items he could personally make money on but you could be lucky.

i agree that overfenders on coupes look hot riveted on but personally i think its gonna look like shit on the four door. the door skins appear to be slightly smaller than an actual door size to allow for blending into the body lines and you will end up with a ring ov rivets on your doors... in the end its your car but...

sooooo since brenton wants to be the only one with them on his car and he was the one that i was originally going to bring them in for looks like you other boys might miss out. talk to him if ya got a problem :P

Oh ffs, even if I dont use them straight away, Its something good to have sitting around as there hard to find.

So what price are we looking at now? or is it just not going to happen?

I have better things to spend money on aswell but this isnt something that happens every day, I've never found a wide rear for 32 four door that hasnt been discontinued.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
