Hey guys, I've asked this over at styling too - but I thought maybe someone a bit more local might be able to help :)

I found some bog when rolling my rear guards earlier today - As you can (hopefully) see is an old repair that's shown up. When I say shown up, I mean the whole arch has fallen apart. This is in essence a track car (with some daily stuff). So, I was thinking of just cutting the arches out and adding some torana style bolt on flares (I know that are not to everyones tastes, however they'll fix the issues nicely).. and I had a tori for ages. I only want something thats 20 - 25mm..

The usual searches have churned out some outdated links.... Does anyone know where I can source some??

Cheers!!

Cristian helped me out - a good guy.

I have another idea Anthony - Buy a Skyline!

In fact buy this http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/352396-r34-gt-t-auto-sedan-in-canberra-8500/

Drives well, clean straight and honest. Unbeatble price. But be quick :)

But I've got a 33, and its says skyline on the back.... And thats an auto. I can't go back EVER again.

I actually got some from just jap being freighted in carbon.

I'll post pics when she's done with the fatness wheels :)

Maybe these http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=20032&cat=&page=1

Cheers

Hey Danny :)

Its been ages mate - I was only talking about your car the other day. Now mine is a dirty copycat :) It's Anthony ;)

Richard - the pics are comming - the car is getting them done next week - but I'll tape them in place for some pre shots.

Shit sorry Anthony, I'm bloody hopeless with names and faces.....never been a people person. Many an embarassing moment, this is another one.

I still have all that R33 stuff you gave me, do you want it back????

I was always going to take it to Canberra and give it away, but never ever did.

Yeah man - still here. I've had two 31's and the 33 since the 32. This one is going to be faster though :) I was sad to see you were selling yours - it was always really tidy that thing.

The flares ended up not actually giving me any extra gaurd room, so its cutting, glassing and butchering for them - and then they will sit in primer till I can do something about it :)

Photos once done (late next week I'd say)..

Cheers!!

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
