ur not talking about a widebody kit are you? ie. Front and Rear... just a simple 20-30mm flare rather than wide guards.

Cause if your talking wide guards, wouldnt you need to modify the front and rear bars at the same time to fit like all proper widebody kits?

[topstage]

inark, my wide guards are designed to use the original bar etc, i will make them +25-30mm front, and +30-50mm rear.

anyone up for them?

[inark]

thought so... just making sure incase people were thinking JGTC wide

you gonna make any for a 4 door?

cause id be after some for mine once its landed. (rear)

[[WLDCRD]]

is it going to be fibreglass? how will the rears be connected?

[inark]

you generally pop rivet them on to the cars body then smooth it over with filler.

That means more weight! <_<

[inark]

if u do it properly u cut the panel underneath so no... it doesnt. and the fronts people make are just replacements so theyre lighter again.

altho for the rears i spose if u do it really properly you replace the whole section rather than pop rivet so even lighter again.

DUDE! Seriously. If you have a GTR that is prepped for race or drag this does make a difference. If the widebody kits are not installed the way inark stated IT WILL make a difference.

And it’s just not a matter of pop rivets (regarding weight)? INASNT have you fitted a wide body kit before? <_<

Ok ladies just use some glue then

What makes you think I don't?

[INASNT]

Coz the 99% of R32 GTR's on the roads are not fully track prepped and wouldnt be that concerned about a few extra kg with a new kit!

[dezz]

if his car is in his avatar...it does look like its kinda nasty

[ABuSD]

Guys ive seen Freddys work and its absolutely amazing!

Now if u cut into your rear guards and chop away at it and replace it with lighter fpr ones, and replace your aluminium (GTR) front guards with lighter fpr or carbon fibre i could bet my balls on it that you will save weight!

Also how many cars in D1 try their asses off to reduce the weight then go and bolt up wider front and rear guards, so it mustnt be that much heavier if any!!

HAHAHA!

99% really? I have seen a fair few R32 GTR's come out of Racepace with 400kw+ but I see your point.

Look I'm not criticizing any workmanship and there are more than few GTR owners out there that consider weight issues (me being one of them). I think the though of having a widebody GTR is pretty cool but only if done right (as stated by inark).

Not bagging any workmanship here!

[dezz]

i wasnt bagging it if it is your car...nasty as in animal!

What would you define as fully race prepped?

IMO, upgraded engine/turbo+ supporting mods, brakes, suspension, weight reduction, i.e removal of most of the interior etc etc.

So, i think in terms of street driven GTRs, the weight difference would be negligble.

400kW or not (assuming those cars have more than just a drivers seat and a few tachos!)
