wont you need new front guards and have the holes in the rear quarters filled too?

not to mention the side skirts wont fit as they have the wheel arch cutouts in them

just paint the whole kit aaron

yep will be doing this. with an axis front if i can get it down here from brisbane. otherwise ill start hunting IM.

Ahhh, I see (slaps forehead). Then what I was meaning was turn it into a flare-less RS/RX look. But if there is heaps of work required to patch up bodywork after the flares come off....better not to bother.

Edit: thanks Iain, you answered my question.

too much work actually. i explained to cam what the panel beaters told me when I asked about it a while ago.

the holed need to be welded up, then bogged once cooled etc. they said after time because the metals are different(aged etc) the bog will crack after it expands.

Price is in your inbox mate.

thanks. yep tell her to order it for me man.

Agreed.

Steps to transform ugly ARX into not-ugly :P

1. Acquire Axis front and rear bars

2. Get a custom grill made up (or pay through the arse for Axis grill, bonnet ornament and backing)

3. Colour code the lot

the bar im looking at comes with the grill.. ill have to get an ornament made up for the bonnet though, no rush.

Done.

I'll let you know when you can pick it up.

Or just run it without the bonnet ornament.

It blocks out too much airflow anyway :P

I actually like the look of the ARX, I reckon non-ARX models look like they have "too much body" at the back end if that makes sense???

I must be weird... an ARXophile

I would consider colour coding the kit, but I have seen varing results depending on the colour.

yep. but i havent made the transaction yet so couldnt give two shits, let alone 1

My sister had to report someone for that once. She automatically paid via paypal, then the guy said he didn't accept Paypal, and wouldn't transfer the goods until he paid by bank transfer.

Gee the gene pool is shallow in some spots...

Apologies for bringing up an old topic.

My drivers side front fender flare flew off on Pittwater rd a few weeks ago. I'm struggling to find a replacement, just thought I would check here if anyone is wrecking an ARX or have any spares they would like to sell me? :)

Amayama wants north of $400 delivered.  Part number is 63810-AQ100

I am aware of the few ARX's wrecking on eBay at the moment, but they have either been sold, or the fender flare is glued on so the guy wants to sell me whole guard.

Long shot, I know. But cheers anyway :91_thumbsup:

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
