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

Linton

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.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
