hi i own an r32 and am about to purchase some wide front and rear guards for it

now ive heard dmax is of the best quality, anyone bought dmax or know of the quality??

i should hope so that they good quality for $400 a pair front and rear

now the dmax branded wide guards only come in i think 15mm or 20mm rear fenders and 15mm front (although there is the d1 spec 30mm front guards but they stick out outside the door)

so i dont know if should go with the dmax fenders?? or go for cheaper more wider fenders from somewhere else?

anyone know where i can get some wider ones that are of good qaulity?

sorry for all the questions

thanks guys

yeahh i bought the dmax front fenders and just fitted it like 3 weeks ago

all i can say is that i encounter a few problems ..

first of all the fenders are too thin which can easily be crack if someone lean on it

so i had it re-fibreglass which cost me $100 each ... (rip off i reckon)

and secondly the tip of the fenders where it line up with the front corner indicator

has a gap that run all the way down ..hard to explain need to show you guys pics

and lastly it dosent line up with the bonnet properly, it sit abit higher ..

thats about it ..maybe it was just a one off thing for me or the guys

that installed it did a shit job .. wasnt happy they offered to fix it but

i have to leave the car there for a few days .. havent had time .. soo blahhhhhh

other then the above problems it fits good and look good aswell

dude imho spend the money and get decent guards i payed 500 a pair front and another 500 for the rear they were espensive but the quality was awesome.if you go cheap guards almost always the quality will be shyte, they were veilside combat r by the way on a r33

dave, the part where it sits higher then the bonnet, that can be fixed with just some sanding to make it even :down:

if you got problem with them, speak to the dmax seller/rep and he will look after you.

URAS gaurantee 100% fitment on them, but it also depends on the car whether its had previous accidents etc.

heres a picture of mine. for some reason the front guards are strange.. the bottom of the guard where the side skirt meets it is narrower than the factory one and leaves quite a big gap

behind the wheel. dont know if they were made that way intentionally??

do you have any more pictures of this?

think it looks wierd cause of the rims, rims look abit to small and needs some (alot of) dish

but good work for a non exprienced panel beater :blink:

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
