Nice as the Nismo ones are, they aren't what I'd call flares, they're just body mouldings. I think the OP actually wants more track, which they'd be useless for.

Love the car in the original post, flares or not, silver BNR33 with white rims is an epic win.

Those flairs on the original post are just beautiful. Would add immensely to track width and therefore tyre grip. But I guess for all the gay boys out there that like the poofy little ones on the purple car, well, they aren't flairs boys. Sort of like having a bonnet scoop that isn't actually sitting over a hole in the bonnet. Just glued on for the wank factor. Sorry.

the car in the original post is a gtst.

CCW is making me a set of 18x11 "classics" so i can use 295-305mm tires with a +10 offset. ill probably still space them another 5-10mm so they fill the flares out. the center will be shotpeened graphite grey, lip polished, 4inch lip.

first of all, yea im looking for more width but im also concerned with rubber patch on the road as its a 600ish hp BC stroked RWD car. im just looking for all the traction i can get. sure it will look like a steamroller but it'll hook better than a 18x9 rim with a 255 tire and handle better too.

cosmetically, they look awesome to me, theyre going on with a gtr replica bumper, hasemi sideskirts and an abflug rear bumper/diffuser, FRP doors, hasemi canards. to each his own. i have had a picture in my head for 4 months while collecting this pile of parts and these were the last piece other than the spoiler. (voltex)

i was able to track them down in the UK, the abflug ones. they look a skoach differnet than the ones pictured but i found the ones i want.

function before form. its all going into the paint booth first week of january for a full fitting and respray, r33 gtr white with double the clear coat, jambs and all.

oh yes... you must post pics... or I will hunt you down;)

ill put something up when its finished cosmetically. those CCW custom wheels are only 2350USD by the way. about, or more, than one would pay for some pizza cutter width volks with offsets that soar like falcon. they are an american site that caters more to corvette owners (about the only american car that can use an 11-12in wheel) so not too many people know about them.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all   
    • LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.
