20mm rear flare will just cover the tread on the stretched tyre but rim will still stick out, front will be fine with a 15mm flare.

not many things make a 33 look good as its a very bubbly and weird shape to begin with, but those flares on gtr guards are hawwwt.

Holy mother of god.

That first picture is porn.

haha thats fair enough, who did your guards?

did them myself, but will be going fibreglass wider guards, easier to repair, and by repair i mean replace haha. will just put a new pair of guards on every time i hit them.

Hey marko if u don't mind abit of painting cracking and rippling I can roll then flare/pump.

Just be careful you don;t pop the pannel in at the top when you stretch the guard to flare the wheel arch. i think with the amount that the guard has the be stretched in this case it would be better to cut and fill the guard at the wheel arch.

Good son of rajab those rims are stupendously ugly... no wonder u got them for $300... they should make pretty good track rims but argh, my eyes....

and i vote u get them powdercoated pink

-D

:)

they might look good fitted ?

Nah.

They wont

Sorry man :bunny:

Those rims >almost< make me not want to own an r32 gtr becos u have said they're associated with a 32 gtr. i feel like ive been raped n stuff... :~(

-D

But its got dish, therefore them wheels are baller as.

Probably paint the centre black though it does look fine as is and it'd probably suit something old school - although, do fit them to the Stagea and see how it looks - may or may not look good.

cleaned up all the rims with stone grinding drill bits, and sanded what I could

cleaned up the gutter rash with angle grinder sandpaper disc

painted the inside black, and the outside

bit dodgy but never mind I'll try another coat of black in an hours time

then a can of clear coat, rip off the masking tape and polish the dish some more

17x9.5" +23 offset

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
