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

ill put up a few pics when its all finished.they are a fair bit wider than gtr guards i had a look a gtr across the road from me and yeah mine are bigger :D

just a side note the bodykit from DMD is the ducks nuts!!! Cant believe at how little work i have done to make things fit, i paid a shop to do it last time and they fu(ked it so much wish i did it myself first time ahh well.

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
