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.

did they come off the soarer dan? :)

lol yeah, they kinda did... but they spend more time going between cars. but now, i think they'll stay on the line :)

well spotted prae :P

do you have pics of your rolled guards veilsider33?

been looking around, its quite expensive to get GTR guards welded onto the rears... :)

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. ;)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
