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The usual searches have churned out some outdated links....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!!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
