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

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?

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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
