I am needing both plastic arch liners (passenger and drivers side) for the front wheel arches, as I need them fitted for a road worthy.

I would prefer to buy them but given how rare they are to come accross if someone was willing to lend them to me just for the road worthy (for a slab or something) that would be much appreciated also.

Car: R33 GTS-T series 2.

Location: Melbourne SE.

Thanks,

Brent

I have a pair of front guard liners, from an R33 GTST series 2, that I removed a few weeks ago so I could roll the guard lips to fit wider tyres. They don't look much like your photo though, so not sure if they are of any use. The back story is that my car is a track car, and 3 or 4 years ago we made the front bar into a removable one, so we could get the car on & off the transporter. At that time we probably removed the front part of the guard liners - the bit that is behind the front bar. We left the bit that goes from the front of the metal guard around to the bottom of the wheel arch behind the wheel - these are the bits I removed recently. I don't remember if the front part of the liner was a seperate part, or if we cut it off the rear part of the liner. I also don't know where the front parts ended up, but I can't find them. I'm a hoarder, and my son is the opposite, so it's likely that he dumped them. If the bits I have are any good to you, you can have them for a carton (or $50), including shipping. They'll fold in half and fit in a small box, and weigh next to nothing. Note that both have rub marks, and one has rubbed through in one spot.

Thanks GeeDog for taking the time to reply and take photos.

Good news, I actually managed to find a pair of the guard liners off a mate so I am all good now, thanks anyway I really appreciate it!

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
