hi again, i got a hold of empire aero and my fender should be in stock soon he said

i put my drivers side fender on permanently the other day i ended up using a whole tube of sikaflex 227 and i sprayed a whole can of expanding foam onto the inside of the fibreglass fender right before i put it on as to make the fender more rigid and unacceptable to cracks if anyone leans on it, the good thing was like the sikaflex the expanding foam was polyurethane based which i guess helps with adhesion to. i used pop rivets to put the fender on 2, will post up pics in the next few days

HI mate, what's the go with these fenders - do they give a GTS a GTR rear end or wider? What price did you end up picking up a fender for?

bumpo

...It does looks a little more wider than a standard GTR. I am not sure but it my opinion.

Yes it is wider then a gtr the finders are 20mm wider as stated from dmax but i measured from the inside of the wheel well and they seem to be 50mm wider.

I ended up getting the other fender from viva garage as it was the same as the dmax ones

Do you know if cutting the guards off decreases the rigidity of the car substantially. I guess it depends how much you cut off - if it is just a bit at the wheel arch to improve clearance it probably wouldn't effect it alot - but I was thinking of cutting off most of the guard.

Any thoughts?

yeh it better to keep the rigidity and leave the original fender intact and just box out the wheel well and weld it

i reckon they would fit an r32 gtr and would look really wide

heres some more pics, it is getting painted tomorrow finally

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
