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

we were a bit sus if the d-max gear that empire euro were legit, cos they look like they've been pulled from the mould a few too many times (like the edges of the guards weren't quite 90 degrees to the rest of the panel)... but they assure us that they are originals... and also they're not as wavy as the viva stuff... either way is still needed a high fill, sand and stuff to get it looking mint. couldn't comment on what racespec sells, never seen or used em.

I got the BN kit from BN Sports in japan, cost a fortune to bring over. Sold it below cost cos I never got around to fitting it (just wasn't a reasonable kit for a road going car). In the meantime we comissioned a company to copy my kit... we fitted a couple... but at the same time and they sold copies to other companies without us knowing... so there's a few getting around now.

Having flared guards without the wheels to fill them would look pretty strange and imo homo.

definatley agree with this, but when i got mine fitted i told the guys that i wanted them to sit out from the body just slightly and they would set it up for me. also wouldnt stretch tyres over.

i wanted it to look very similar to the white 33 with the flared gaurds earlier in the topic but was told they wouldnt do it!

who will do it, and cant spacers bring your rims out more?

peace

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.

depends on your offset dude...

go pull a wheel off (or crawl under your car if its stock ride height :P )and it'll be stamped / stickered on the inside

are you buying new rims?

its the offset not the setup...

you can use a spacer for a few mm but after that it becomes dangerous as the more spacer, the less thread...

the best way to do it is to use an offset calculator when getting new rims :P

someones been browsing zt.com :P

Yeah, I browse zt.com's wheel whore thread, but those weren't from zt. I stole the pics from zilvia.com's thread. :D

I always browse those two threads. Best two threads for wheel fitment info and pics. :D

pics?

did it affect/damage the paint at all?

hehe theres a build thread for that 32 in the body section, hickmaster r32 or something rather

Oh really? Thanks for letting me know, will check it out now...

Edit: This is his second 32 I think. He had a nice red onevia, sold it to get an R32, got over it, then bought I think it was an S14, then went back to the 32. haha. I remember asking him about his onevia's wheels specs, I didn't realise this was his car!

Okay, back to main topic.... :P

Just an update to all - I finally spent some cash and got brand new tyres today which set out a bit more to fill the guards - looks tough as in my opinion...

To answer your question, R-SPEC - only the lower edges of the arch had some paint flaking off, but i touchd it up with some paint and it's barely noticable... i would definltey recommend this, although it's not a big flare, it's definitely a noticable difference. awesome.

yeah already got some, they sit nicely with the body but still would like it to look a bit meaner lol.

how many mm do you think is too much? cause im looking at getting flared front fenders, only 30mm wider.

sorry about changing topic a bit btw.

cheers

Who did you end up getting it done by?

I would say that anything more than 10mm spacers are too much if you're looking at only slip ons. If they're bolt ons then I wouldn't really care as long as they're hub centric.

there is no way in hell you can safely run 30mm spacers...

i run 3mm on the fronts just to clear the calipers.

you will need either:

a custom unit

a bolt on set if there is one available

new wheels

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
