but wont buying 4 overfenders cost more than buying one standard flare?

Wouldn't surprise me if the answer to that question is no if you're not willing to import this stuff...

be aware there are holes in the panels for the plastic bits to stick into......

[zei20l]

nissan have been using that size for years on many of their motors

[adambruv]

There's not many Stagea's that can't....

[Commsman]

BTW, youj can fit a bigger filter if you want. The flat surface the filter mates onto is quite large. Just get one with same thread & bigger body & it will work OK.

[adambruv]

if the original size filter works fine no point in going bigger haha,

i was very surprised how easy the whole front came off, 40 minute job by myself.

So are you going with the PM35 front end or the stock front?

stock front end, then selling the car and upgrading to a vq35, because im a p plater i cant drive turbo

[iamhe77]

Might want to check to make sure you can drive a VQ35de Stagea.

Can't legally drive a VQ35de Skyline in Vic and NSW, so maybe SA have followed suit?
