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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
