I am needing both plastic arch liners (passenger and drivers side) for the front wheel arches, as I need them fitted for a road worthy.

I would prefer to buy them but given how rare they are to come accross if someone was willing to lend them to me just for the road worthy (for a slab or something) that would be much appreciated also.

Car: R33 GTS-T series 2.

Location: Melbourne SE.

Thanks,

Brent

I have a pair of front guard liners, from an R33 GTST series 2, that I removed a few weeks ago so I could roll the guard lips to fit wider tyres. They don't look much like your photo though, so not sure if they are of any use. The back story is that my car is a track car, and 3 or 4 years ago we made the front bar into a removable one, so we could get the car on & off the transporter. At that time we probably removed the front part of the guard liners - the bit that is behind the front bar. We left the bit that goes from the front of the metal guard around to the bottom of the wheel arch behind the wheel - these are the bits I removed recently. I don't remember if the front part of the liner was a seperate part, or if we cut it off the rear part of the liner. I also don't know where the front parts ended up, but I can't find them. I'm a hoarder, and my son is the opposite, so it's likely that he dumped them. If the bits I have are any good to you, you can have them for a carton (or $50), including shipping. They'll fold in half and fit in a small box, and weigh next to nothing. Note that both have rub marks, and one has rubbed through in one spot.

Thanks GeeDog for taking the time to reply and take photos.

Good news, I actually managed to find a pair of the guard liners off a mate so I am all good now, thanks anyway I really appreciate it!

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
