For now I think I'll leave it as is.

Only to test the waters and see if I get any attention for having them.

Also my funds have dried up a little haha

I think the law is 25mm outside the guards? Not too sure on that one, is just what I heard.

I haven't got any cop attention at all, had cops pull up next to me and behind me.

But yeah the more you lower your car the more camber it will naturally give it. Anyway it does look boss man - check out my pics a few pages back - black on black, same rims haha.

EDIT: I see you commented on a pic of my car saying it was perfect fitment haha.

I saw in another thread on here where the guy rolled the front guard lip tight such that one of the tabs was holding the liner like a clamp. So basically kept the liners, and rolled tight. Not sure how robust that would be though.

Will see if i can find it again...

Found it:

You can see in one of the photo's how they used the tab to hold in the liner. Personally I would prefer to keep my liners when I roll. This looks like an option, but would be keen to hear others thoughts too.

in the pic below shows clearly that the tabs are not holding in the plastic guard liner (splash guard). Also looking at the pic seems it has a small flare pushing the guard out slightly

also this has not been rolled perfectly flat

Put new wheels on today,(17x9+22 enkei rpf1s) and have ran into a slight problem, regarding those plastic guard liners.

They scrap on corners that have either got a bit of a dip during the apex or slight elevation or while descending.

If i remove them completely, is it possible for the wheel to still hit the guard at all? Am i able to push the guard out at all to stop this happening?

It used to happen even with stock R33 wheels as well. Any info would be great.

Car had an alignment today, it was only slightly out.

The car is sitting on bilsteins and king springs, it isn't as low as others i have seen, i can stick my foot between the wheel and the guard. With the new wheels pretty easily, at slow speeds aka 50kmh, on the stockies it did it only on corners that had a really bad dip during the apex (only in the hills), when the G's would have been at there highest.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
