got my flares in the mail this morning, just slaped them on to see what they look like.

i think they'll look tuff when done properly, what do you guys think?

they are a universal type flare. the front one needs to be pulled in a bit more at the back, but they flex pretty easy

and yes, i will get spacers/new wheels to fell them out

Hate it!..

Just lip the front and rear guards slightly. Look way better than bolt on Torana guards.

yeah, im starting to think rolling/liping the gaurds might be the way to go.

was worth a try tho, they were pretty cheap.

someones gotta try new things :worship:

PS: you must admit, it would look fat from behind with the wheels out to the gaurds

they dont look to be designed for bolting on, so molding them to the panel looks like a must anyway.

tp1gts2 - where abouts did you get them and how much? since they are universal i am keen to check them out.

dont forget that you can always trim them down so they dont come out so far

Reminds me of the 80's yankee style cars..

You definately need spacers.. MASSIVE ones!.. or massive offset

If you going to do it.. do it right and mould them.. thats what I think..

if not.. dont bother cos its gonna look shit..

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
