r33 owners will know bout this

on the rear guard theres a 25mm fin that shoots over the tire in the rear guard, i need to delete this or bend it 45deg up cause its sliced my tires.

what to do, can i .........

1) fold it up 45 deg with muliti's? (will that crack the paint)?

2) 4 inch grinder with a 1mm blade and slowly grind it away (if i do this slowly to keep the heat down will this work)

plz let me know which option is better..... 1 or 2

ok thats all well and good but which of my 2 options is best......

i need peoples opions plz.

neither are good

grinding will make the paint flake, bending by multigrips will also make it look like crap.

heating the panel up with a heat gun and gently massaging with a rubber mallet is better than multigrips if you must do it yourself.

best option in this thread was from user "J'z-R33" - get someone to roll them properly

i grinded it today, the 1mm blade was a bit slow so i swiched to a normal grinding blade, the guard is pretty solid and it didnt shake around at all, came up perfectlyi left a 5 mm fin over the tire, and gave it a light file manualy to clean it up....

i winded the tein coilovers down a bit and the tire just pops in under the guard, went for a drive on a bumpy road and itall good.......

grinding is best

  • 3 weeks later...
paint may not crack straight away, but eventually it will ive been told by several tyre and suspension fitters.

This is correct from what i've heard... sooner or later it will crack due to the pressure put on it, and you will get crack marks... i would be careful and only proceed if you're after a quick fix. otherwise, get a widebody full kit.

Just so you know whoever you are grinding your guards.. You'll need to paint them asap because it will rust, rust will travel and ur car will start peeling and bubbling the paint..

1. Will look like SHIT

2. will degrade the car and its value

3. will reduce the structure strength of the vehicle (but you've already achived this)

So i Suggest you get a paint pen, some masking tape and mask up your exterior paint and then with the paint pen cover the open metal, Spray will prob work better but it will prob cover your exterior.

Seriously get it done.

lol

from a quick lip rolling to " widebody full kit"

i have a car that had its guards rolled about 8 years ago now, no cracking, and they are not rusting

    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
