would the fender have to be cut & rewelded and flared ??

found myself some 40-50mm bolt on flares for the front.

need them to clear my wheels. i rather this path as i dont wanna go frp guards (fitment problems etc i rather the strength of standard guards)

any input much appreciated :devil:

cheers

^ thats not my car guys lol

im not moulding it in, im leaving it like that as the old school style flares coz i rekon they look hot!!

anyone know if i have to cut the fender or not??

of course you have to cut the original fender otherwise u wouldnt gain anymore clearance to fit ur wheels

You would have to cut your guards to get the most out of it. It'll look tough, but cutting your guards, there's no going back!

Edit: This is going on your sedan right? Is some of it going to be stuck to the door as well or?

im doing the fronts only as the rears fit fine (will probably just flare/lip the guards out by 10-15mm)

would it look weird if the fronts have bolt ons & the rears are lipped ? lol

i think the only way to find out is to trial fit the flares on..

I take it you have rims that don't fit but you really want to have them?

Hence the rears fit kinda but the fronts won't at all..

it will look weird having the flares only on the front, maybe if this is the case though the offsets on the rims is going to weird anyways? usually rim offset to guard or flare measurement is the crutial bit in making rims & lowering look great...

get better offset rims....

i think what im gonna do is get the fronts flared out 15mm at least. gonna have to speak to a panel beater about this as the guy in my area that does flaring only flares rear guards.

if worse comes to worse im gonna have to go wide front guards i guess..

bolt on flares idea scraped!!!

    • No no, sorry I think I made you misunderstand. I have this Tee as well as the lines that go from there. What I am missing is the banjo bolt that connects this line (OEM turbo oil supply line) To this hole, this line is mounted on the turbo and reaches around it so you have easy access the oil and water supply being rerouted to this dual banjo port in the front. like this
    • Nothing at the moment as previously there was a crappy braided line going from engine block directly to the turbo. I have bought a used OEM hardline for the turbo oil supply, which goes from the engine block to the marked hole. I don't have any of the OEM banjo bolts for oil except the one at the block.
    • This is the tee No specs on the page I grabbed it from, out of stock there anyway. But it kinda looks like a 1mm pitch. Would not think it's going to be 0.75mm pitch.
    • OK, I'm with you now. The outlet of the tee that is banjo'd into the block. Dunno what it is, will have a scratch around. The M11 question is.....messy. The minor diameter of an M11x1.0 male thread is 9.917mm. This is smaller than the minor diameter of a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 10.08mm). The M11 major is 11mm. That's smaller than the major on a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 0.4375" or 11.1mm) so an M11x1 bolt should pass on the major side. The pitch of a -24 thread is 1.058mm, which is really close to the M11x1, so it should go in at least several turns. I would expect M11x1 to be loose in a 7/16"-24 UNS, at least until enough thread are engaged to make it stop screwing in, if that can happen. Probably wouldn't happen on such a short bolt as you're looking at on the oil tee. Keep in mind that 7/16"-24 is NOT a standard/typical 7/16" thread. Standard is 20. That's the UNF or fine thread. -24 is really fine. I imagine that Garrett chose -24 for the turbo housing oil inlet to get the number of threads engaged up. I would not expect Nissan to have an imperial (UNF, etc) thread on that tee. I would expect it to be metric (if it is a bolt thread) or BSP (actually the Japanese equivalent of BSP) if it is a pipe thread. Given that it's a banjo, it's going to be a bolt thread. If it looks like an 11mm will go in there, then 11mm seems likely. It is very possible that some clown has stuffed that thread by trying to jam some imperial "near equivalent" into it, perhaps with those hoses of yours. Got verniers? Measure up the threads on the hoses.
