Hey guys

I've got an r32 gts-t and I've got some 18x11.5" +26 work vs-xx wheels coming, and I need rear wide fenders to fit them.(preferably +50mm)

I've rang savanna motorsports the Origin dealer for aus, and they informed me that Origin do not make wide rear over fenders for the r32.

So I'm begging you guys to lead me in the right direction for some GOOD quality rear fenders. I want them to fit straight up, I don't want to have to stuff around with fuel filler in particular. Please, do you know any good brands?

*sigh* you saw a set of wheels on YAJ and went "OMG fullysick dishhh uleh I must have it!" didn't you?

What you probably didn't account for is that 11.5 +26 makes your wheels sit around 2 inches too far inside so it will hit your shocks unless you run some chronic spacers. This is in addition to sticking out of your guards by about 30mm, so lets say you space out the wheel by about 30mm to clear the shocks, you'll then need a 60mm overfender to clear the rim (run stretched tyres and you should be able to sit it at a decent height and not collect the fibreglass fender with your tyre and send it all to hell... or look like poser and run it at 4WD height).

rear fenders NEVER fit straight up. not even japanese ones. I imported a set of D-Max ones straight out of japan and even then we had to trim the fibreglass and sand out the imperfections etc.

Nice buy from Import Monster though, and 155,000Y isn't actually that bad a price for em. But I wouldn't wanna be the guy trying to shoehorn them under an R32 GTSt, especially the 10.5 +26 in the front, without resorting to something like a BN widebody kit.

How the hell did u find the auction I got my wheels from haha. Yes a very good buy, and I've seen same wheels on gtr32 but 10.5 front n rear, and I wanted rears to be slightly wider I was actually waiting for the wheels for a while. I've got gtr front end already just need rears. A mate has some viva garage ones and I held them up and they needs about an inch cut out front and rear of wheel arch, they are the complete wrong size

lol do a search for "VIVA garage fenders" in this section, and you'll find pics that I took of a set that were delivered to me.

11.5 +26 wow, ive got not even 1 cm clearance on my coilovers with 10.5 +/- 0, your guna one BIG spacer my friend

thats no spacers, bolted straight onto the hub :/ i bein offered 5g for these wheels i said noooo f*kin way hahaha they are huge, them rubbers are 295 streched on, cant beat that

yea definately would hav taken the cash and ran. IMO all the aftermarket fenders out there ruin the clean lines of the r32, they just make the car look silly even when done to a high standard. get some rims that actually fit and dont make it look like a clown car.

GTR oem guards FTW

Sorry to dig up this thread.. Didn't want to make a new one.. Did a search and found some useful info.

But, not exactly what I'm after.

I may of answered my own question.. With the stock 32 gtst wheel (16x6.5 unsure of offset)

I will have to widen/role my guards for a set of 32 GTR wheels? (16x8 +30)

Thanks guys.

Couple hundred too much IMO. But it depends on how much they are worth to you. I sold my Volk SF Challenge set (17x9+22) for less with near-new tyres!

Well I would live some rays te37s but waaay out of my price range haha..

Maybe one day.

Rough price on 32 GTR wheels with or without tyres? In your opinion :)

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
