S13-S15 Sideskirts? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey all, I decided that I prolly want to get sideskirts before I go in for paint... then it occurred to me,
"hey dumbass, you're conversion fenders are 20mm wider... what makes u think standard S13 skirts will fit since the lower portion bows out significantly more than the stock S13 fender?"

"self," I said to myself, "You're absolutely right, wtf do we do now?"

So I'm hoping some of you other S13-S15 ppl have already fully kitted your cars and can drop some knowledge on me

Will standard S13 skirts have enough give to use them?

Hopefully one of you has a S13 with Masa/Inner Circle conversion fenders with skirts on and can tell me what was needed to make them fit...

please don't say just to heat up FRP ones, I've seen how terrible that looks already... the end closest to the hood ends up bowing out far too much and looks like an air brake

The bottom edge of the fender should line up fine with the rocker panel regardless of the width above the wheel well, unless you're running a fender like the R34s that has a vent all the way down the rear edge.

The skirts fit fine, I think the only wider part of the fender is above the wheel arch, and then it goes back to stock width at the door. My skirts fit no problem up front. Now with 50mm wider fenders on the back, the skirt fitment is a competely different story...

actually Ive got 50mm wide rears on my hatch right now and the actual fenders themselves stop before you get to the skirt. Btw Yoshi your write up on the conversion was very insightful. Although I went with a S14 core support instead of sawzalling the S13 one to death

good to bump an old thread and couldnt realize all fenders are made differently. yours stop before the side skirts, his did not and so did mine.
