adoboy666 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 hi again, i got a hold of empire aero and my fender should be in stock soon he said i put my drivers side fender on permanently the other day i ended up using a whole tube of sikaflex 227 and i sprayed a whole can of expanding foam onto the inside of the fibreglass fender right before i put it on as to make the fender more rigid and unacceptable to cracks if anyone leans on it, the good thing was like the sikaflex the expanding foam was polyurethane based which i guess helps with adhesion to. i used pop rivets to put the fender on 2, will post up pics in the next few days Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278660-r32-dmax-rear-wide-fender/#findComment-4723073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adoboy666 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 took me about 3 days on and off 2 mould the drivers side fender in, pics below empire aero said the passenger fender should be another week as the mould is just about made for it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278660-r32-dmax-rear-wide-fender/#findComment-4739433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birth Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 HI mate, what's the go with these fenders - do they give a GTS a GTR rear end or wider? What price did you end up picking up a fender for?

nme032 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 HI mate, what's the go with these fenders - do they give a GTS a GTR rear end or wider? What price did you end up picking up a fender for? bumpo ...It does looks a little more wider than a standard GTR. I am not sure but it my opinion.

adoboy666 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yes it is wider then a gtr the finders are 20mm wider as stated from dmax but i measured from the inside of the wheel well and they seem to be 50mm wider. I ended up getting the other fender from viva garage as it was the same as the dmax ones Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278660-r32-dmax-rear-wide-fender/#findComment-5525005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTM Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Wait, wait, wait. You left the standard guard underneath? Are you serious? You didn't cut it to increase the clearance dramatically? What a waste of time. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278660-r32-dmax-rear-wide-fender/#findComment-5527697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birth Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Do you know if cutting the guards off decreases the rigidity of the car substantially. I guess it depends how much you cut off - if it is just a bit at the wheel arch to improve clearance it probably wouldn't effect it alot - but I was thinking of cutting off most of the guard. Any thoughts? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278660-r32-dmax-rear-wide-fender/#findComment-5527754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR 32R Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I like it. Too me it makes more sense to leave more of the original guard in and to just cut for wheel cleareance.

adoboy666 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 yeh it better to keep the rigidity and leave the original fender intact and just box out the wheel well and weld it i reckon they would fit an r32 gtr and would look really wide heres some more pics, it is getting painted tomorrow finally Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/278660-r32-dmax-rear-wide-fender/#findComment-5780212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
