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??

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

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
