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??

reduce your caster to close that gap (if you have aftermarket caster rods

they dont look finished in that picture, there is no clearcoat im guessing on those guards, not a bad job mate, i appreciate the effort it takes.

Yeah whats with the paint on the gaurds? Bit hard to tell from the pic. No clear?

lol nah mate its not the final coat just temporary, cause of the fact that im attempting this myself it still hasnt reached that stage yet theres still minor touch ups then prepping left to do which will take awile.also ive had to customise everything since they were made for gtr.which was a real head ache

and thanks craved ill have to get a set of those to fix that gap,

i could explain why the fronts dont look right but thats another story

I bought a set of front DMAX guards for $550 delivered to my door. They fit fairly well with only minor sanding needed. A couple of small issues though,

The indicator hole did not quite fit the indicator so had to silicon them in instead of using the clips and the mounting screws under the bonnet could not be done up too tight without cracking the fibreglass. Apart from that I was happy with the fitment.

Oh also one guard had a small crack in the wheel arch which cost me $100 to get repaired.

BLK33t referring to your comment no you cant not without modification anyway.

    • 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.
