hi i own an r32 and am about to purchase some wide front and rear guards for it

now ive heard dmax is of the best quality, anyone bought dmax or know of the quality??

i should hope so that they good quality for $400 a pair front and rear

now the dmax branded wide guards only come in i think 15mm or 20mm rear fenders and 15mm front (although there is the d1 spec 30mm front guards but they stick out outside the door)

so i dont know if should go with the dmax fenders?? or go for cheaper more wider fenders from somewhere else?

anyone know where i can get some wider ones that are of good qaulity?

sorry for all the questions

thanks guys

yeahh i bought the dmax front fenders and just fitted it like 3 weeks ago

all i can say is that i encounter a few problems ..

first of all the fenders are too thin which can easily be crack if someone lean on it

so i had it re-fibreglass which cost me $100 each ... (rip off i reckon)

and secondly the tip of the fenders where it line up with the front corner indicator

has a gap that run all the way down ..hard to explain need to show you guys pics

and lastly it dosent line up with the bonnet properly, it sit abit higher ..

thats about it ..maybe it was just a one off thing for me or the guys

that installed it did a shit job .. wasnt happy they offered to fix it but

i have to leave the car there for a few days .. havent had time .. soo blahhhhhh

other then the above problems it fits good and look good aswell

dude imho spend the money and get decent guards i payed 500 a pair front and another 500 for the rear they were espensive but the quality was awesome.if you go cheap guards almost always the quality will be shyte, they were veilside combat r by the way on a r33

dave, the part where it sits higher then the bonnet, that can be fixed with just some sanding to make it even :down:

if you got problem with them, speak to the dmax seller/rep and he will look after you.

URAS gaurantee 100% fitment on them, but it also depends on the car whether its had previous accidents etc.

heres a picture of mine. for some reason the front guards are strange.. the bottom of the guard where the side skirt meets it is narrower than the factory one and leaves quite a big gap

behind the wheel. dont know if they were made that way intentionally??

do you have any more pictures of this?

think it looks wierd cause of the rims, rims look abit to small and needs some (alot of) dish

but good work for a non exprienced panel beater :blink:

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
