Does anyone know a direct avenue to sourcing flares for my C210 coupe. You look at these old school dattos' in Japan and every second car has got them. Surely some import company can source these and post them to Aus, or is it just to smaller item for them to care about. Does anyone know a ph. number of someone who makes them here in Aus? Yours desperately Ricky. I'll even pay a finders fee if someone (private, not a business) can put me onto something solid, but they must be for the C210 coupe

Hey mate,

Check out this place. They definitely have them, however not too cheap.

A few years back when i was looking into it, I was getting help from a guy called Jesse (streeter on these forums) who lives in Japan and organised parts back to Aus.

This page for an example. No C210 flares pictured, but pretty sure they had them back then.

About 4 weeks ago I sent an email to the Kameari web site. I've just had an email from Shigeo Mori telling me he can supply the items I'm after BUT! it says:

Overfender for GC 210 %%%%%

Overseas speed mail %%%%%

Total %%%%% These percent icons on my email are actually those little squares you get on Jap web pages. I'm guessing the amounts must be in Japanese and not translating in the email. Help!!!

I take it you are using Windows XP / Vista, is the Japanese Language installed ?

Control Panel / Regional & Language Options / Languages TAB / Details / Add / Pick out of list

Not sure if this will fix your problem, but I don't think it will make it any worse.

This was a few years back, but found the quote i got from the Jesse for the C210 flares.

Just a quick breakdown, but obviously things would have changed.

part 31500

bank fee to pay seller 500

ship to me ~1000

commission 3000

ship to you via EMS ~8200(guessing 5kg packed)

total : 44,200yen or ~$490 AUD

Firstly, thanks for your help so far guys. I'm slowly closing the gap to these parts. I got another email from Shigeo Mori at kamaeari today asking if I needed the pricing in AUS dollars,even if it does cost $490 I'm going to get them as they really change the look of the cars stance.

Noddle, I'll try what you've mentioned as like you say, can't do any harm. Cheers

Finally I've ordered my flared gaurds. Cost, $520 dollars delivered. Hopefully they turn up next week. Will post a pic once attached. Brouhgt them off Kamaeri, must say a big thanks to Nismo for the link to Kamaeri.

My flared guards arrived today from Japan and and I must say I'm very happy with them. Not sure how I'm going to fix them to the car yet and I may paint them black, currently white. I just like that black against white look. Any suggestions?

hey man that's great news! i want to do this to my 210 coupe so bad. mine's orange and i was gunna go with black guards too.

i reckon black guards on a white skyline look sick as bro you should defo do that :D

hot hot hot.

out of curiosity how much did it cost you all up to get them?

Racsov, they were $510 delivered. Once sent they only took 4 days to arrive. These are made to order. When I asked Shigeo at Kamaeri about the air dam he told me he was having some made up so they'd be a shelf item, cost, about $600 delivered.

Have you thought about getting a mold made of the flares? could be a good little earner :)

Metallic green + charcoal flares + fat charcoal watanabes = :whoops:

just an idea

By the way, car looks awesome mate

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
