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.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
