Nice as the Nismo ones are, they aren't what I'd call flares, they're just body mouldings. I think the OP actually wants more track, which they'd be useless for.

Love the car in the original post, flares or not, silver BNR33 with white rims is an epic win.

Those flairs on the original post are just beautiful. Would add immensely to track width and therefore tyre grip. But I guess for all the gay boys out there that like the poofy little ones on the purple car, well, they aren't flairs boys. Sort of like having a bonnet scoop that isn't actually sitting over a hole in the bonnet. Just glued on for the wank factor. Sorry.

the car in the original post is a gtst.

CCW is making me a set of 18x11 "classics" so i can use 295-305mm tires with a +10 offset. ill probably still space them another 5-10mm so they fill the flares out. the center will be shotpeened graphite grey, lip polished, 4inch lip.

first of all, yea im looking for more width but im also concerned with rubber patch on the road as its a 600ish hp BC stroked RWD car. im just looking for all the traction i can get. sure it will look like a steamroller but it'll hook better than a 18x9 rim with a 255 tire and handle better too.

cosmetically, they look awesome to me, theyre going on with a gtr replica bumper, hasemi sideskirts and an abflug rear bumper/diffuser, FRP doors, hasemi canards. to each his own. i have had a picture in my head for 4 months while collecting this pile of parts and these were the last piece other than the spoiler. (voltex)

i was able to track them down in the UK, the abflug ones. they look a skoach differnet than the ones pictured but i found the ones i want.

function before form. its all going into the paint booth first week of january for a full fitting and respray, r33 gtr white with double the clear coat, jambs and all.

oh yes... you must post pics... or I will hunt you down;)

ill put something up when its finished cosmetically. those CCW custom wheels are only 2350USD by the way. about, or more, than one would pay for some pizza cutter width volks with offsets that soar like falcon. they are an american site that caters more to corvette owners (about the only american car that can use an 11-12in wheel) so not too many people know about them.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
