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??

reduce your caster to close that gap (if you have aftermarket caster rods

they dont look finished in that picture, there is no clearcoat im guessing on those guards, not a bad job mate, i appreciate the effort it takes.

Yeah whats with the paint on the gaurds? Bit hard to tell from the pic. No clear?

lol nah mate its not the final coat just temporary, cause of the fact that im attempting this myself it still hasnt reached that stage yet theres still minor touch ups then prepping left to do which will take awile.also ive had to customise everything since they were made for gtr.which was a real head ache

and thanks craved ill have to get a set of those to fix that gap,

i could explain why the fronts dont look right but thats another story

I bought a set of front DMAX guards for $550 delivered to my door. They fit fairly well with only minor sanding needed. A couple of small issues though,

The indicator hole did not quite fit the indicator so had to silicon them in instead of using the clips and the mounting screws under the bonnet could not be done up too tight without cracking the fibreglass. Apart from that I was happy with the fitment.

Oh also one guard had a small crack in the wheel arch which cost me $100 to get repaired.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
