Just get the guards rolled, it'll be much easier and cheaper in the long run than to just throw in some camber when you don't want it. Don't lower it anymore either, you'll be sacrificing performance for looks.

I think you can hire out guard rollers for about $50 a day or something like that. Or just get someone to roll them for you. About $40 per guard.

Car's looking good though mate.

00skyline00 have you got any camber on yours ? and what size rims you have ?

Yeah I got camber on mine but my rims are 17". I'll take some pics.

My rims are,

Front = 235 / 45 / 17R

Rear = 245 / 45 / 17R

The front and rear camber is pretty much all the way down (Negative) any lower I will probley need a camber kit my mechanic told me.

Hrmm ok I have 265/35/18

I see, so you got a lower profile of tyres but are a bit wider. Maybe try using spacers to give you abit more room (Im guessing...)

I got it on mine so it can fit the larger rims and have the negative camber so the rims don't protrude out of the guards...

BTW did you put the rims on yourself? Maybe take it to ya mechanic / tyre place to see what they can do, if it still rubs then take down the tyre size to say... 235 / 245 ect

How much castor are you running?

One way of fixing a problem on the rear of the front tyres is to get some rods & wind some more castor into the front suspension.

The fundamental problem is that the rims are the wrong offset. They should be +22mm ie 20mm narrower in trackwidth than what you have.

Well bugger I was always told +12 To +20 was good for a GTR.

The guy at Fulcrum Recons its no worries he has done plenty of 32s,

I dunno Most people are amazed the wheels dont fit well under the guards especially under the back. It sticks out about a cm. :D

Whats the issue with rolling the aluminium guards ? He just said it was hard thats all.

Then the guy at Fulcrum Recons is wrong.

What are you going to bolt the liner to once the guards are rolled?

Nothing the Liner will be gone, then what ever electrics there are under there I will have to cover another way.

I dunno had the wheels for 2 days and they are a pain lol u recon an offset of +20 same size everything else would fit better.

Well this is a bit annoying I didnt do my research good enough the wheels are just to god damn big.

I took the car to Fulcrum today, the boss had a look and said my best bet is to roll the front and rears leaving the front inners on, and then they will take it for a drive and see how it feels, if its no good then take the inners off.

the rears the only option I have is to put adjustable rear upper arms on and run camber to try get the wheels under guards.

other then that he said get smaller wheels :P (9")

How the hell do all you guys run 9.5 18"s on 32 GTR's hope the scrubbing is better after rolling.

Mines lower than yours (attached is a recent pic)

all you do is get 235's on there with a slight stretch, 2.5neg camber, roll the fronts 1.5neg at the front

:)

EDIT: Actually that pic doesnt do it justice, but trust me, its fkn low, and the above solution fixed the problem :)

Thanks N1, the car is getting the guards rolled as we speak, the fronts I am hoping will be ok, but the rears will still need rear upper arms (adjustable) to get them under the guard I think, when the tyres wear out I will put 245 on them, what width are your wheels ?

I have 265 on 18 9.5 +12

Well i got the rears rolled and took the linners off and bent up the tabs that screw went into, so far its a lot better.

still rears stick out to much, I looked at camber arms but I wil need to much and tyres wont last longer then 3 months, I am not looking for some second hand decent 235/40 or 240/40 if anyone has some, and I will have some 265/35 for sale.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
