Hey everyone,

Lately I've been getting my car ready to get painted and been stuck on ideas for the rear gaurds. I have GTR front fenders and wanted to pump the rears aswell to enable me to fit 18x10's or wider.

I decided to flare the stock guards, and done it with a guard roller and it only lipped it a little. So i decided to use a piece of pipe... I have heard good and bad stories about flaring with pipe... and this story is 50/50 good/bad.

Here are some shots of what happened.....

basically the drivers side turned out VERY nice and then sadly the pasenger side exploded with bog, so now im destined for over fenders. It also cracked the steel right out. But I still recommend this is a good way of flaring r32 gaurds.

Can you explain how you bend it with the pipe?

Would I be right in thinking you use the tyre as leverage against the guard?

if thats how its done it sounds dodge at first but Im thinking about it now hahaha

haha kind of... you stick the pipe in at one end,,, and u roll the car backwardsand forwards, and it flares it. It will turn out 90% nice if u have no bog, u will need to bog and paint gaurds after its done if u dont want the slight ripple look... but look at my drivers side gaurd, it looks nice apart from a tiny bit of bog

    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
    • Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)
    • Given you already have the engine cross member to match and likely gearbox mount to. The SR20 has a head start on the RB in this case. They handle GREAT with an SR20, lots of fun.   One I did back in the day
    • have no doubt and wanted too trust me and may regret later not necessarily worried about weight (would be 8 kg ish total) it was more the $$ to do it properly is about $6 - $7K in hardwear need long 310mm stroke jacks etc - plus install and call me whatever im not doing it myself even if wanted too cant weld etc  - thats $10K installed vs fraction of that cost while Ive spent some money on this POS I actually really dont like doing so unless its got a large chance to make me go faster 😁 hey in still carting this things around on a 15 yr old rusted open trailer so I can spend on racing not buy a new trailer to look better the manual jacks Ive had done are heavy and take space but are transportable and usable anywhere - taking or organizing even compressed air let alone nitrogen which is more whats needed coming from Perth to Winton or Sydney or the like honestly just adds to my brain headaches/ hurts of organisation also ha 15 mins job will get down to 2 - 5 min job vs 1 min job for airjacks - all tradeoffs I spose
    • Purely out of curiosity, how do you know all this @dbm7? Do you work with automatic gearboxes professionally? This goes way way way beyond "I've had an automatic Skyline once and did some mucking around"
