its the oldschool flare kit to let you fit GTR rims under a GTS. Its basically inspired by the KPGC10 thru to the 210 where they all had similar flares on the body to accomodate wider rims while racing.

They're cool... i dig em, and the ones in those pics is the tame version, there's even wilder flares.

They look great on the old school C10, 210 and AE86. On the R32 though? Ekk.

This is what surprises me about you all...perhaps not you then. Your all so into the Japanese motorsports culture and their cars and think you know it really well when you actually don't! Find a photo online and just brag the shit out of it!

Maybe you will sleep better tonight, knowing that most cars that wear those flares are drag racing cars! Because flares are illegal on street cars over here even though people have them.

I don't care whether I am "keeping up with the ages".. or the latest in jap chic.. they look shithouse.
Bwahhahahaha! Gordon, Troys just trying to stir shit up... he must be bored at work!

But yeah, it's not just Japan... this stuff has been going on for ages, and not just on Skylines. Name just about any Japanese car worth modding and some fool has put 11 inch wide wheels on it with those bolt-on over fenders.

Think early 70's GTS racing in Japan and you're getting close:

:) yeah, the older style classics such as the Z's, c210, etc it suits.. but its just a little wrong on the 32 there.

Hey, i never said i did.. *some* maybe on this forum like to think they are :).. but hey, I'm just another australian driving a japanese car.

no they basically are.. the old ones were made with aluiminum, these days they're FRP (fibreglass).

Speaking of wider rims.... Rezzeh, can you puhleeeeeeeese :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: find out for me what width my rims have to be and what offset, so they sit japstyle on my BN Sports widebody kit? (not ozstyle so they're an inch inside the fenders)... and not bozokou style where they sit an inch outside either :D

The r32 in the first pics look terrible.

I think they dont look a to bad if done properly, except these ones are slightly different. They go right to the bottom of the car.

That desperately needs bigger wheels. What's the point of widening the arches but having puny rims? :rofl:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
