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:

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 :)

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
