It would want to come with some very happy endings for that price!

If anyone is interested, Id let them go at the right price.

They look like chopped 'Type-1' ZG flares to me...

(i.e as fitted to the HS30H 240ZG)

good luck with your overly priced bits of plastic Ghost

Dave,

I thought you were intelligent, but I guess you were standing behind the door when it was being handed out eh?

As I have said before, I need to get them before I can evaluate them, but I would assume they would be of some reasonable quality, because Jenesis doesn't sell junk. And to Birth, it wouldn't matter what they were made of, but there has to be something to make a mould from and not just be GP versions that need a lot of bog & putty to smooth them so they look the part and if they are so easy to copy, how come someone hasn't done it already.

Go for it, take your shots at anything I have put up, but just keep in mind Dave, your trying to sell a car that looks like it's $200.00 for $4000.00? PRESENTATION is just about EVERYTHING and you're presenting a sh!tbox and a POVERTY PACK at that.

Cheers, D

Hi Ghostrider; I think you misunderstood me. What I was thinking is that if you bought the original units you could copy them yourself or pay someone like a fibreglass kit place to copy them for you. You could then go on to sell them for say half the price. Depending on what they cost to copy you could probably cover the cost of the initial purchase ($450-odd) and the cost of replicating them.

Come to think about it, if all four that you are buying are the same you could buy just one ($150'ish) and have thay one copied four times making it cheaper for you. Then any more that you have copied and sold would be profit.

I don't care about how much they are costing you etc. and hope that you don't get upset. I do reckon that this is a way to get you want you want for cheaper and make similar units available to others who think that what you are doing is flash (assuming that you don't mind other people having the same kit as you!)

Hi Ben

I think you'll find that copying one flare wouldn't do

Front and rear are different to suit the bodywork plus then possibly handed right and left.

Dennis provided he doesn't mind others having similar flares has the right to charge enough to cover his outlay and time IMHO.

Exactly the plan!

Gotta start somewhere & all the flares I have seen have been grafted to suit with buckets of bog. These should be a fit up thing I'm hoping? And the R30 has a squareish rear wheel arch as opposed to the Z types that are nearly round.

Cheers, D

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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
