There is no way you are flaring the standard metal to fit those wheels and tyres. I rolled and flared mine when I got it painted and the most we could roll it was about 14-15mm on each side before the actual panel started to buckle further up the guard. - Crazy bolt on is the only way - or mould some on.

JK

your eyes aren't deceiving you :laugh: they are velour, my passenger seat is R32 GTR and drivers side is east bear fixed bucket.

there will be alot of work put into the rear guards, and we are trying to keep it as metal as possible, even if we have to weld bits to it, as fiberglass will only get shattered

im trying to avoid the area around the door, and the rear bar might get a bit of fiberglass to suit the metal, but the car will remain essentially a drifter, so the tyre being completely covered is of no real concern, im only going as far out as the tyre tread, the rim and sidewall of the tyre will be uncovered

...if all that makes sense

These are pics of my mates Cefiro he got today.

Had it for 4 hrs and we allready lowered it and rolled/ flared the gaurds ever so slightly.

Wonder Kit to go on tomoz and some more lip put into the rear gaurds and the Toe fixed on the front right.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
