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.

your right pete.. and i have adjustable upper front and rear arms & traction rods.

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
