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.

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
