Hi Crew

I am building my 180SX track, skid, thrash car.

All the drivetrain is in and running, cage is done but I am now stuck on the offset for the track because I need a widebody.

I will be running 18's as it has Porsche Carrera Cup 997 rotors and calipers on the front and GTR on the rear.

Who has them, new or second hand. I am looking at the 30mm and 50mm front and rear guards.

Cheers,

I've moved this thread to the correct location for you.

Firstly i'll wish you luck in finding carbon/glass doors and tailgate in oz. If you do find a supplier, let us all know about them. I have seen a pair of CF doors for sale ONCE in 2 years of looking. They went for 800 second hand.
There is a place in SA called vivagarage that supposedly does the tailgate, but they are reknown for being rubbish quality. They can supply the guards too, but with the same quality issues. I bought a pair of 50mm guards off them once and they arrived full of cracks from poorly applied resin (manufacturing fault). I've heard this story from many others too.

Since you have a bottomless bank account, you might be best off buying good quality stuff from Japan. Prepare to pay through the nose for it though

Perhaps full custom made might be an option? Especially for a man with your contacts

Last time I checked Just Jap sold carbon fibre doors for $1200 approx. Have no idea on fitment and quality though.

There's also a seller on ns.com but I forgot the name!!!
