I would be avoiding flaring if possiible as it look like aids..

Have you tried a thorough roll and a good pull first?

how much camber are you running and what is the max you are willing to run?

Are you going to have any guard gap or do you wanto tuck rim?

How wide are the wheels and what tires size/ profile?

Yes its terrible unless they are fully pumped, thats expensive as im not a panel beater

Well on the front, i was thinking of buying wide guards, easy fix right?

i havent tried anything yet, thats my first trial fit i dont even have tyres

And the rear... um... i wanted wide rubber, but ill have to see what i can do.

camber is stock i think, or close too.

would like a gap, but you need room for suspension travel too so????

the wheels are rays gtc 17x9 +35 on a 32 gtst

Bolt ons will be too wide, and im not having a piece of fibreglass glued to my body cos they crack.

so maybe gtr rear guards welded on,$$$$ hmmmm i need a plan d

after looking at google images, bolt ons for some reason seem the least offensive looking

maybe because like you said, others looks like aids

I just fitted wheels that sit out 15mm wider per side on my r33 18 x 9 + 20 and i REDUCED my camber thst was induced by lowering the car and i dont scrub.

If you cant roll guards yourself plenty on hear can or pay a shop $50 a corner to roll them you wont scrub.

That looks like it has aids. It's a Skyline not a Torana.

Ok ok.. youre right, and it wont suit what im going to do this summer. :ninja:

Ok so thanks for the input, good points made:

1 Flares, lips ect look sht on a 32

2 Camber will change as i put weight on the wheels

So ill try flattening the lip first and see how that goes. Adjust camber second, roll guards out last resort.

I dont know

Theres heaps of room inside

I may do the front first, then put it on the back and see how much more i can go

Hmmm where to start?

9" = 228mm from inside bead

250mm from outside edge of rim

So i want at least a 255 on the back if i can, more even better.

And dont want less than......235 maybe front.

Profile should be at least 40, or diameter is too small.

Making a lipping / guard flaring tool.

It will have adjustable length and angle.

When i have finished using it, it will be for SAU act. That means anyone can have it just dont take it away from ACT region.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
