they do serve a purpose

looking f**king mean :devil:

+1

Don't forget there real name either....."Rub Guard's" for those times when you have to run a stupid f#$ker off the road but don't want to scratch you paint!!!ph34r.gif

this is the reason why I bought an ARX - when I get the $$$ i will get an axis front bar and rear skirt

If you aren't going with the FRP kit, you may be quite surprised when you find out how much Nissan charge for the bonnet ornament (and it's backing)

On an ARX?

I think you are confused.

On an ARX those flares look as good as they do on this

Ooh yeah, real mean.

hahaha cam even that holden looks more mean than your princess blue coloured animorph whistling.gif

haha, but I am not the one that thinks or is trying to persuade others that their car "looks mean", am I?

Funny thing is that even if you colour-code the flares, you still have to deal with the gay old man, tan leather that is inside the ARX.

Unfortunate, but true... ARX = ugly inside and out

Sounds like venting on C34's has taken a turn onto ARX vs RS/X !!!:happy:

I think ARX plastic fantastic look odd. The Mrs agrees "plastic wings..." she reckons.

They peel off at high speed, they make your rims look gay cause of offset fail, and attract people to bump into them.:P

come at me NA brah! lol

FlAir= needs more aggressive offset. Doing this right = win. Doing it wrong= car wil look like a spaceship

Has anyone got pics of an ARX with guards bumper, skirts etc colour coded? I was thinking of doing this at some stage but didn't know if you would have to put some sort of primer on first to smooth out the "texture" and whether it looks OK or not.

Also what offset is aggressive? I am looking at some wheels (down the track) 20x8, they come in +30 or +45.

AND by the way. the tan leather of the ARX is the best part!!!! It's why I went for an ARX....... then again, I am old (not in my 20's anymore)

Rudy, (can't remember his forum name) colour coded the body moulds on his silver ARX, saw it when we were at Eastern Creek Drags a while back; works quite well, but his flares were not shiny because of the textured surface of the plastic. You'd need to do a fair bit of Hi-Filling to smooth the surface to give an nice gloss.

As for offset on an 8" rim, you want +30 offset at absolute minimum. You could go +25, even +20 offset on an 8" rim with a 245 wide tyre, without any clearance issues or guard rolling.

theres a white one going around but it looks like ass. failed attempt i think.

I think it's really dependent on colour; Black would work fine, White; a bit like a fridge. Silver looked ok, but I've seen a gold one, and I'd rather poke out my eyes than have to look at it again; bloody atrocious! Also as others have said, you'd have to butcher the bodywork underneath the plasitc so you can get the wheels out far enough to fill the guards properly.

Lol....nothing wrong with my offsets NA boy!!!!.... Fill the guards quite well actually.... My offset would however look shit if I didn't have the rub guards.....lol!

And what's all this ar-x jealousy from the guys that own poverty packs all of a sudden!:P

    • 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.
