hmm might have to look at that,

anyway bigger problem, wheel nuts were torqued on to hell, so used a breaker bar, then got the lower bolt off easy, went to do the first on the strut top and struggled went to use the breaker bar and it slipped, i think i may have stripped it a bit, so now dont know what to do :S

I had the same trouble with one of my strut tops, it already had 2 stripped nuts. i just used a Nut & Bolt Grip Extractor. You should be able to pick a set up from bursons, repco etc.

use a good quality single hex socket. not a multi hex. if it had rounded a bit a gentle tap with a hammer should get a good single hex on there.

if that fails vice grips.

so i went and bought some new sockets to go on my 1/2 inch breaker and with almost zero effore the nuts came off, even the slightly damaged one... so now ive installed fronts, and ill have to wait till another day to do the rears... which will be more fun!

so that was the biggest mofo ever, went onto doing the rears last week and the nut and stud were spinning together so had to work out how to get the parcel shelf out... couldnt, left it till after work the other day and removed two supports on the left and right that the parcel shelf sits on cause the 6 x 9 were in the way... and had to use vice grips to hold the stud and remove the nut... but got it done... now to test drive...

btw the rear on the r33 is a b***h but i guess if i ever have to do it again i know how :s

Stuck my flares on yesterday so I didn't get raped on the way to baskerville.

Will be rolling the guards this week some time as they scrubbed all the way there and back and then I'll sick the flares on for good

that looks tough as now! Loving the bolt ons.

Don't worry about rolling, just cut it!

I would have but in case I decide to change wheels at a later date I just rolled/pumped them & that turned out awesome....

picture time

see turned out just awesome -_- not 100% finished

A little Mexican ( 15x10-26 195/50 ) still need to decide if im going to roll/pump these also

Needs more low, although as is it makes some lovely sparks from the chassis rails
