they do serve a purpose

looking f**king mean :devil:

+1

Don't forget there real name either....."Rub Guard's" for those times when you have to run a stupid f#$ker off the road but don't want to scratch you paint!!!ph34r.gif

this is the reason why I bought an ARX - when I get the $$$ i will get an axis front bar and rear skirt

If you aren't going with the FRP kit, you may be quite surprised when you find out how much Nissan charge for the bonnet ornament (and it's backing)

On an ARX?

I think you are confused.

On an ARX those flares look as good as they do on this

Ooh yeah, real mean.

hahaha cam even that holden looks more mean than your princess blue coloured animorph whistling.gif

haha, but I am not the one that thinks or is trying to persuade others that their car "looks mean", am I?

Funny thing is that even if you colour-code the flares, you still have to deal with the gay old man, tan leather that is inside the ARX.

Unfortunate, but true... ARX = ugly inside and out

Sounds like venting on C34's has taken a turn onto ARX vs RS/X !!!:happy:

I think ARX plastic fantastic look odd. The Mrs agrees "plastic wings..." she reckons.

They peel off at high speed, they make your rims look gay cause of offset fail, and attract people to bump into them.:P

come at me NA brah! lol

FlAir= needs more aggressive offset. Doing this right = win. Doing it wrong= car wil look like a spaceship

Has anyone got pics of an ARX with guards bumper, skirts etc colour coded? I was thinking of doing this at some stage but didn't know if you would have to put some sort of primer on first to smooth out the "texture" and whether it looks OK or not.

Also what offset is aggressive? I am looking at some wheels (down the track) 20x8, they come in +30 or +45.

AND by the way. the tan leather of the ARX is the best part!!!! It's why I went for an ARX....... then again, I am old (not in my 20's anymore)

Rudy, (can't remember his forum name) colour coded the body moulds on his silver ARX, saw it when we were at Eastern Creek Drags a while back; works quite well, but his flares were not shiny because of the textured surface of the plastic. You'd need to do a fair bit of Hi-Filling to smooth the surface to give an nice gloss.

As for offset on an 8" rim, you want +30 offset at absolute minimum. You could go +25, even +20 offset on an 8" rim with a 245 wide tyre, without any clearance issues or guard rolling.

theres a white one going around but it looks like ass. failed attempt i think.

I think it's really dependent on colour; Black would work fine, White; a bit like a fridge. Silver looked ok, but I've seen a gold one, and I'd rather poke out my eyes than have to look at it again; bloody atrocious! Also as others have said, you'd have to butcher the bodywork underneath the plasitc so you can get the wheels out far enough to fill the guards properly.

Lol....nothing wrong with my offsets NA boy!!!!.... Fill the guards quite well actually.... My offset would however look shit if I didn't have the rub guards.....lol!

And what's all this ar-x jealousy from the guys that own poverty packs all of a sudden!:P

    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
