hi guys,

i just installed a set of volk c-ultra 3 spokes 10" wide rears with 265's and they tend to poke out a little... i rkn its nice, but if any of u are from melbourne and live around knox, u will know that there is a certain someone who won't appreciate it and defect my car the minute i launch it off the driveway.

was wondering what sort of options those of you on the boards have taken when it comes to wide rears?

has anyone bolted on guards, flares which look good, or had any sucess with rolling the guards?

heres some pics.

how does that work on the rear? because its an extremely large panel, are you suggesting cut and weld? i know the front isn't much of an issue as its bolt on, but then its really the back which is needed.

did anyone notice that black 32 from prestige that just came in with the bolt on flares.

but it'd take even more effort to fill guards like those.

rolling seems like the cheapest and most effective option, but i've never seen a picture or a car with them.

I have to say i dont like the bolt on guards much, But i have considered getting my guards flared for some time, so i can fit the right sized tyres on my rims... and i mean flare, not just rolling the lip of the guard.

bahaha, pettits a dick!!! just go have a look on ns.com for all of the threads flaming him.

i havnt seen much done to skylines in the way of guard mods. i'll have to roll mine to accomodate my new superlows, but flarig them properly would be nice, it would be great to have proper wide guards, (read: not bolt ons) that compliment the lines, meh anyway.

Ooh sexy, will i get to see the new wheels in the carpark at uni sometime? I think my 9inch rears stick out a bit like that, they certainly are to wide to actually go into the wheel wells. Looks even better with no sideskirts or pods. Is that illegal?

Gotta love not living in Knox. ;)

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
