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.

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. ;)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
