Bolt on wide body guards. Most people cut the standard guard out to get more clearance once the new guard is installed. There's no going back!

Any idea where to find em? Hard to find anything for sale in terms of a widebody R32 kit but i know some people have them! Something to make the guards look like that silver R32 would be awesome :)

When I last looked, carmate sold those type of guards. Not too sure on how the quality will be like though. :)

Cracking only occurs when/if you don't heat the paint up enough/too much or are pulling/stretching the guard out too much. If you got the guards flared before the respray, there's nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't say that's "flaring". This is what I see flaring as...

Obviously flaring and some extra work done to it to make it look a little better.

Flare people normally go for.

d-max make them. You can get them off race spec who is a sponsor here.

As for the silver gtst, i think it looks rubbish. They've obviously put some effort into blending it all in nicely and then stuck bumps everywhere on top. It's silly. I'd be inclined to either blend it all in properly and paint it, or go the honest look and trial fit, trim and paint the wide guards, then alloy pop rivet them straight onto the quarter. Obviously, it's my opinion only and every one has different tastes. As long as the guy who owns it likes what he has then thats all the matters

Is it this? http://racespec.com.au/product_info.php?cP...products_id=552 Not so crash hot about the front bar would go Vertex but would that kit be the widebody? or is it something from http://racespec.com.au/index.php?cPath=29_57_247 ?

Yeah i agree the bumps on it looks shit.. would look way better without it..

Thanks

Was only talking about the over fenders. The pic in your fist link has their wide front and rear guards on it but there is a better one from the rear floating around the net.

You mean there are better wide front/rear guards then the D-max? Can never find any.. seems hard to find wide body kits for the R32.. Im planning on a vertex kit but if i get those wide guards from the link u just posted, would that make it look pretty much like that silver 32?

no, i meant there was a better pic of the blue r32 with all the d max bits on it :domokun: It's a rear 3/4 view.

I'd say that that car would have plus 20mm rear over fenders on it. If you want bigger there is always the blister kit, i think it's from uras, but the lines of the car are all f^&ked up with it.

^^ Yeah i thought that was flaring too.. that silver R32 what is done to that? just widebody kit on it isnt it?

check my epic build thread

I got viva fender skins... lol they're wavier than a sydney to hobart boat race and don't even line up with the body properly. we had to chop and reglass to get it looking somewhat decent and actually fit on the car. Seems to be a problem with a lot of wider guards... even genuine stuff from Japan.

but it's looking alright now.. should throw up some build pics soon.

I was selling an original BN Sports widebody kit last year that made your car wider by about a foot :) jetman on the forums should be sporting it on his car soon.

Hmmm so dont buy from viva coz they sell kits that dont even line up on the car? lol ill take that into account..

Any comments on the D-max from Racespec though? Whether it's gonna be the same or not?

Yeahhhh where could u get a BN sports widebody kit from? Can never seem to find em around!

Well, I got my guards slightly flare today for $120.00 (only the two back ones) - quite plesaed with the result... however, now I will have to get fatter tyres and spaced them out a bit.

Does anyone know of a good profile for 18 inch rims on a R33? Cheers.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
