do u guys think its possible to guard roll 3cm?

ive just got my hands on some dirt cheap gtc's but they wont fit and ive worked out that its around a 3cm increase on the rears and 80mm on the front.

anyone who has done guard rolling could u give me some tips?

also how much would this cost? :)

You can flare your guards 30mm, but it'll just gonna f**k up your guards and paint. On the S13's, a dent appears after flaring about 10mm. So it doesn't take much to f**k up your body.

Best bet would be to throw some negative camber on it with stretch tyres.

Its not necessarily going to f**k up his guards, but the chances are there that it may happen. S13 guards don't always dent when flaring by more than 10mm, i've seen some flared 30mm with no dent!

R34NRG- What are the widths and offset's of the rims?

just raise your car a little dude... my wheels stick out by 3 cm's on the rear end...

stretch some tires on & ur laughing.

No point having shit hot wheels and having it sit like a 4wd. It needs to be lowered to gain the neccessary camber. Increasing the height will make it stick out further.

Andru, what happened to those 75mm widebody kit u were gonna get???

i heard s13s have the weakest guards there are and thats why they crack and flake alot.

i kinda bought 5k+ rims and spent another 2000 on suspension. so i dont really have the funds to go wide body atm. so i guess the next best thing is workn the guards

Rolling guards wont get you 30mm.

You need to install some flares or flare your guards. Either option requires significant work with painting involved and a big change to the look of your car. Just to fit some wheels.

yeh i know wat u mean but i just keep thinkin how shit hot its gonna be.....and i gotta do it lol

just some pics of the ones i bought

Nice choice on wheels.

Those offsets and width don't seem to be that low or wide. Are you sure you need guard modifications to fit the wheels? I don't know 34 guards so please ignore my inexperience if they clearly don't fit.

I know I've asked you how wide your wheels are currently, but I've forgotten. How wide are your wheels again? I always assumed skylines had the same guard clearance as the silvias. I've seen a few S13's with ~9" wheels with 0 offsets and they only needed guards rolled.

Edit: The S13's would've had stretched tyres.

Yeah, from what I've seen in my calculations, there's not much you can do. You're gonna have to put on some stretched tyres and put some neg camber or just flare your guards.

I never realised how high of a offset you have to run on skylines. Like you said your current wheels of specs, 18x8 +35 with 230/40 are pretty much flush with the rear, these are 18x9 +15 , 225/40 with neg 2 camber on a 180sx:

With these wheels and tyres on your car, they'll stick out and extra ~35mm.

they ARE rolled...

you do realise rolling guards is only 'rolling' up the inside edge of the wheel? the outside of the panel doesnt change or move, thats called flaring.

and whilst flaring might be 'cheap' to do, it will need to be resprayed.

if they're genuine R34 wheels the specs are 18x9 +30 not +15

      This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.

      I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.

      Rusty roof repair

      A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway.

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
