r33 owners will know bout this

on the rear guard theres a 25mm fin that shoots over the tire in the rear guard, i need to delete this or bend it 45deg up cause its sliced my tires.

what to do, can i .........

1) fold it up 45 deg with muliti's? (will that crack the paint)?

2) 4 inch grinder with a 1mm blade and slowly grind it away (if i do this slowly to keep the heat down will this work)

plz let me know which option is better..... 1 or 2

ok thats all well and good but which of my 2 options is best......

i need peoples opions plz.

neither are good

grinding will make the paint flake, bending by multigrips will also make it look like crap.

heating the panel up with a heat gun and gently massaging with a rubber mallet is better than multigrips if you must do it yourself.

best option in this thread was from user "J'z-R33" - get someone to roll them properly

i grinded it today, the 1mm blade was a bit slow so i swiched to a normal grinding blade, the guard is pretty solid and it didnt shake around at all, came up perfectlyi left a 5 mm fin over the tire, and gave it a light file manualy to clean it up....

i winded the tein coilovers down a bit and the tire just pops in under the guard, went for a drive on a bumpy road and itall good.......

grinding is best

  • 3 weeks later...
paint may not crack straight away, but eventually it will ive been told by several tyre and suspension fitters.

This is correct from what i've heard... sooner or later it will crack due to the pressure put on it, and you will get crack marks... i would be careful and only proceed if you're after a quick fix. otherwise, get a widebody full kit.

Just so you know whoever you are grinding your guards.. You'll need to paint them asap because it will rust, rust will travel and ur car will start peeling and bubbling the paint..

1. Will look like SHIT

2. will degrade the car and its value

3. will reduce the structure strength of the vehicle (but you've already achived this)

So i Suggest you get a paint pen, some masking tape and mask up your exterior paint and then with the paint pen cover the open metal, Spray will prob work better but it will prob cover your exterior.

Seriously get it done.

lol

from a quick lip rolling to " widebody full kit"

i have a car that had its guards rolled about 8 years ago now, no cracking, and they are not rusting

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
