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 :)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
