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!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
