For reference we have 265 tyres (on R34 GTR rims) on our Project Car (R33 GTSt) and the lips only had to be slightly rolled. The offset has been so far and that includes a trip from Melb to Syd without any scrubbing or bottoming out on a track/street setting with the GReddy coilovers.

Maybe if they were moulded to the body so it looked smooth, instead of looking cheap with rivets and glue.

Maybe!

I dont really think they suit the skylines natural shape,... a bit like that purple skylines overkill wing... just to much

daym that looks pretty solid. they need to either mould the flares so it looks smooth or just give that rough look to the whole car. did any1 find out where to get these? mite try it out on my 33

Not that it matters either way but a Torana slr 5000 will take 17 x 10 with room to spare.

I'd like to see some work meister s1's on an a9x, would look good I think.

As you said function over form with the fllares and it's not as if they're hideous or even close.

+1 for the molding but o so hot, you have me thinkin know dam you dam you to hell I want.

Look f#*king tough no matter what anyone says HOT HOT HOT, you must post up some pic once you finish :P

why is electrical tape over headlight and brke lights so HOT!?

youve obviously never been on a track.

track workers would rather pick up one tape encrusted piece of plastic when you f**k up your car, than sweep a big scattered mess off the track.

nah, he was being a smart ass about track cars always having tape as if it was a fashion statement. if not, i apologize, this is a pretty multi-cultural forum, and sometimes i dont pick up on aussie-ness too well.

Yes. I have been to the track

Yes. I realise its to keep the glass in large chunks. And to lessen the risk of missing a peice and somone else ending up in a puncture and another accident (for eg.)

Yes. I have done this too on downhill evets held at Mt Panorama where there it is quite narrow and there is no run off and its straight into the wall

Yes. I still think it looks freaking hot!

No. I dont care about vehicular fasion. Function over form FTMFW!

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
