OK so i gave up on waiting for Dmax to get in new stock :P .

Bought some viva garage rear over fenders and the place i took them to said they wouldnt fit send em back. I'll put some pics up 2moro to show ya! Nothing major i thought just a few gaps to fill, they had never seen anything like it and said it wouild cost me thousands to fit them :(

Anyone fitted these "over fenders"? Im going to try and give it a go myself a point in the right direction would be good as i have never done this sorta stuff before.

Thanks all. :glare:

well theyre kidding you if they reckon its too hard...not a huge deal involved. Best done on the car. one thing though, not sure about that point on the C pillar where it just finishes. I think you will find better ones out there. most of these over fender kits require you to hack up your original guard around the wheelarch. Typically anything fibreglass won't be very accurate in its fitment requiring lots of hours fibreglassing, if you are good at glassing it will halve your bill at the end. There are others that begin from the quarterpanel's crease and are the bottom section only. easier to fit and mould to the body.

This is worth it if you know what youre doing yourself. If you don't it'll cost u a bomb..

Don't silicone anything, in fact any sort of glue gun...throw it away.

Don't bog anything either.

cheers mate :D

I had a brain wave last nite....and dicided to look for a guide on the WWW lol so i have a pretty good idea now what i have to do.

Cutting up the guard and welding the inside bit should be easy as i do that sorta sh!t at work.I'll chop the over fenders up so they are ALOT smaller and just basicaly have the bit that makes it wider and pop rivet that on, then get a pro to make it all smooth and fancy loooking!

Thats after i fit the new do luck kit and front guards i got :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
