my front are rolled out but i dont know how to up load the pics

you can push them pretty far, well compared to s13 fronts

but my wheels still hit so i am using import blitz s13 fiberglass

overfenders not the old datsun style but ones that flow with the

line of the guard and sort of give a small version of the rear

hip line.

they need to be trimed to work but do fitt and look cool

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

Oi! How is using the newspaper method dodgy? Using a pole is dodgy. hahaha

The newspaper roll/flare would turn out pretty good if you've already got the guards rolled. It just 'pumps' the guard out, you can say 'naturally'. The guard will be pushed out of the way where the wheels will go because the wheels themselves put it there.

abu, do you change rims like you change undies? haha what happened to the work emotions you had on..

Seems like it ey? hahah. He sold the Kai's long ago. He's only had the 33 GTR wheels for like 2 months and sold them already!

I know what he's got on the way now though, definitely something to keep an eye out for. :)

havent seen anyone that i know of do the fronts, but i presume you use the guard roller. unless you want to go ghetto style.

oh ok

I might just do it with a roller, I want it to come out as smooth as possible but not fussed as one of my front guards needs a touch up anyways so would rather paint the whole thing

doing my fronts tomorrow!!!

dont expect the guard to stay straight but as long as my wheels fit in im happy!!

ah make sure you get pictures and post up how it went, I'm keen to see the results

hahah :thumbsup:

Yeh KAI's sold a while back but you wait and see what I got lined up this time

lolll man as long as this newspaper thing works I don't care! haha

Yeah just need to pump them to tuck the wheels under but I've been thinking and I don't know how the hell were going to get them to tuck under haha

hahahah we'll get it under. We've seen them get under before so we know it's possible. haha

whats the size / offsets of your new rims?

I don't know if I should give this information away... :(

Better not. I'll let abu tell you, but I think it's better if you just wait! :wub:

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 :(

Mate if my car looked as good as yours i would be a very happy camper. As for wheels, mostly 17" wheels, i have two sets of WEDS, a set of Desmond Regamasters, Work XD9s and a set of Enkei 18" RPF1 which i hope will squeeze under the rolled and lipped guards....so too many wheels :P

Once i get the body done, wheels that clear the brakes and look good on the car then i am going to have to have a fire sale as i have way too much money tied up in wheels. Coming home drunk and bidding on yahoo auctions is bad :wub:

whats the size / offsets of your new rims?

I will say sizes but thats all

Fronts: 17 x 9.5 + 17

Backs: 18 x 10 + 18

Now you wait for pictures lol

Thanks man

Thats quiet the collection of wheels, all quality wheels too

ah thats good, you will have it looking mint in no time. Not many silver R32s around, mostly all black so make sure you keep it silver whatever you do!

Your bidding drunk, I'm bidding sober which is far worse!!

got good & bad news..

the good: flare job was perfect, paint cracked as usual not major dents or buckles :) the guys who did it did a fken marvellous job

the bad: still not wide enough to clear my rims.. i need another 2cm Lololol only option is GTR r32 front fenders + roll/flare if i have to.

how he did it: used a guard roller to roll the inner lip flat..

chuck the wheel on

used a small round pole or large socket extension and drive the car back & forth slowly.. did this a few times

then evened it out with hammer, rubber malet & some metal block thing??

i can post up pics of the flare job if you want.

Wow, he used a pole for flaring the front guards? How'd the guard hold up? With my guards, it went loose from where it joins to the car (it came out 15-20mm). I used the newspaper method, but don't see how the pole technique is any difference when trying to push it out.

Definitely post some pics up!

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
