For now I think I'll leave it as is.

Only to test the waters and see if I get any attention for having them.

Also my funds have dried up a little haha

I think the law is 25mm outside the guards? Not too sure on that one, is just what I heard.

I haven't got any cop attention at all, had cops pull up next to me and behind me.

But yeah the more you lower your car the more camber it will naturally give it. Anyway it does look boss man - check out my pics a few pages back - black on black, same rims haha.

EDIT: I see you commented on a pic of my car saying it was perfect fitment haha.

I saw in another thread on here where the guy rolled the front guard lip tight such that one of the tabs was holding the liner like a clamp. So basically kept the liners, and rolled tight. Not sure how robust that would be though.

Will see if i can find it again...

Found it:

You can see in one of the photo's how they used the tab to hold in the liner. Personally I would prefer to keep my liners when I roll. This looks like an option, but would be keen to hear others thoughts too.

in the pic below shows clearly that the tabs are not holding in the plastic guard liner (splash guard). Also looking at the pic seems it has a small flare pushing the guard out slightly

also this has not been rolled perfectly flat

Put new wheels on today,(17x9+22 enkei rpf1s) and have ran into a slight problem, regarding those plastic guard liners.

They scrap on corners that have either got a bit of a dip during the apex or slight elevation or while descending.

If i remove them completely, is it possible for the wheel to still hit the guard at all? Am i able to push the guard out at all to stop this happening?

It used to happen even with stock R33 wheels as well. Any info would be great.

Car had an alignment today, it was only slightly out.

The car is sitting on bilsteins and king springs, it isn't as low as others i have seen, i can stick my foot between the wheel and the guard. With the new wheels pretty easily, at slow speeds aka 50kmh, on the stockies it did it only on corners that had a really bad dip during the apex (only in the hills), when the G's would have been at there highest.

    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
    • The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk
