hey guys,

im not big up with bodykits.. i tend to stay away from them actually, but i require big fenders for my r32.. now i can find a few... like dmax and d1.. that come in my required size..

but i want the gap at the back end of them.. and an even gap.. the dmax ones have the gap at the top, but then taper back in to fit at the bottom.

i want it to look like this

i cant find any rear guards that sit like this for the r32.. plenty for the silvias.. i dont like the ones that mould back in to the body.. they look tacky and too round usually.

any help would be much appreciated... i know nothing about bodykits.

cheers

thanks.. they are only +25... i really need +30 at the very least.. +50 would be more ideal..

im undecided on the roof spoiler... they look good on s13s... need to see more on teh r32s i think.. theres a great looking dark blue one doing the rounds on speedhunters etc.. has the 5 spoke blitz wheels.. .looks fantastic.

You tried Rolling / Flaring the guards?

If the wheels are too wide then, I have seen ppl just rivet bolt on guards.

Looks like they went to a wrecker and just sliced the guard / rear panel / flared it out and bolt on.

Looks closely to the rears.

guards are rolled... and they fit sweet with the 17x9.5 +25mm... now i have 17x9.5 -0 and i want wide fenders..

i like the rivet on ones.. no mess, no fuss, just get em on and go.

they need to clear this

yeh it is a bit to cover.. and thats with the stretched 235.. plan is to run grippy 255's all round for circuit. so thats why it will need the +50. fronts are 17x9 +25 which will fit gtr guards but 17x9.5 + 0 at the back will need fenders..

im thinking, and i may need to be shot down here...

but say i get the dmax, +30 rear fenders, and just space them out +20 at the back with 4 pieces of 20x20 aluminum square tube.. mould them in at the front and at the top.. and leave the back open a little bit..

otherwise i might just get some chopped rears, bash them into shape, then make a frp or c/f copy of them and rivet them on.

ohh i dont know.

god damn hippies..

thats true... but ill put the 255s on there tomorrow, remove the suspension and jack it up to where it should sit.. remember that pic is with 235s.. the 255s are a whole different kettle of fish.

farrrrrk that looks phat as albert dude... good job.. the verandah flares look full matsuri spec.. i love it, bet cops or your hands didnt though. viva garage kit seems to fit ok.. compared to others that ive heard of anyway.

after looking closely at the back end of the cusco wrx, i think ill use wide front fenders like dmax and a modified bolt on flare at the back.

its going on a pure track car, so not worried about doing it for police attention etc. just want the extra track and big rubber.

viva stuff is decent, fits up pretty good and is fairly flexible which is a good thing (hard kits break easily with a bit of pressure)

you think yours is gonna be hard to cover up... try 18x12 - 4 :P

those are 50mm bolt on flares on the back. still looking for some full sized bolt on guards for the 33 that actually look good.

    • 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.
