Looking for some pics of GTSt which has had the std guards pumped a little to clear bigger rubber. Not interested in fibreglass flares, just looking for pics of an R32 with steel guards tweaked etc.

Have seen it on plenty of S13s and looks great. Only the R32 has a pronounced guard line and not sure if it will look any good on an R32 GTSt. Alternative is GTR guards which i am trying to avoid. But whilst OS want the car left with panel beater so this can be done in the near future

fronts ive got 20mm fenders, couldnt find anyone that could flare my guards.

my p1s are 17x9 +17 the rears atm have 255/45/17 (could do with a 20mm spacer and 235/45/17 tyres to make a better fitment.)

fronts are 17x9 +17 with a 10mm slip on and has 235/45/17 sits pretty flush but i would like to try and sit a 15mm in it.

racing harts were 18x8.5 +21 235/45/18 / 18x9.5 +21 275/45/18.

why are you trying to avoid gtr gaurds? the fronts would not be too expensive.

Think Roy is refering to the rear more so in reference to avoiding GTR guards, which is either an add on FG panel, or a cut/merge & repaint job.

Fronts require a couple of other changes (indicator & maybe front bar?) and isn't as cost effective as rolling guards.

If a big fan of a well done guard rolling job, esp. to fit deeeeeep dish rims :ninja:

Love that pic of the matt black 32 finshed with the GTR front bar :blink:

why are you trying to avoid gtr gaurds? the fronts would not be too expensive.

Well, partly because its a GTSt and i want it to saty looking that way. Partly because the change to indicators, side skits, front bar etc etc is a ball ache, and the rear qtrs need to have the innter guards and fuel filler neck etc done as well which is a more costly job. So, lol yeh, mostly money and complexity for a car that is a track car and likely to eat armco again sooner or later :D

just sprayed the quaters.

but yeah roy, you'll be able to fit a fair bit of rubber (with 18x9.5 +21 with 275/45/18 i still had heaps to play with.) if your flared your rear guards.

fronts ill suggest you get them lipped or go for the gtr guards.

ok thanks man

I need to flare my rear and fronts to fit my new wheels in

How had are the fronts to do and do they come up good or do they need a lot of work?

Did you use a proper guard roller or did you use the dodgy newspaper method lol

Thanks again

Piss of Abu :D If we end up with simialr gaurds then our cars are going to be too similar :D Actually thats not a bad thing :D

lol

Trying to copy my style hey!

What wheels you got Roy?

I just sold my R33 GTR wheels and bought something a little more crazy, but won't say too much at the moment :)

We should combine your R32 with my R32 then we'd have the ULTIMATE streeter R32 :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
