S14 stock body with over fenders front and rear. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

opponheimer · 03-27-2009, 11:04 AM

I've been thinking about running over fenders (30mm front) (50mm rear) on a stock bodied s14. Any opinions on this with a nicely lowered car? I havent been able to find any pics of cars that have been done this way.

Will the over fenders make my 17's look smaller (diameter wise)?

Heres what i have to work with right now

Why? Your wheels seem to fit.

opponheimer · 03-27-2009, 11:25 AM

I found these on max tire fitment thread:

Kind of shitty pics.. I hate the front fender vents

rb25crazy · 03-27-2009, 11:30 AM

i like your muffler what is it?

randyjordan · 03-27-2009, 11:35 AM

the fronts will looks ok-ish..., but your rears might look horrible with overfenders since you wont have the sideskirts to cover the bottom end of it

you can always adjust accordingly, less camber yada yada

do it so you can tuck those 17's

but you might want aero

that link is for the s13 though

i've had like 5 of these exhausts but nothing ever beat dmh e-cutout on stock exhaust..

s14unimog · 03-27-2009, 11:43 AM

those 17's have got you asking all sorts of questions. I'm not huge fan of over flares unless you've got something to hide... (damage, etc...) Your fenders look like they're in good shape, why destroy them?

WTF... "taco taco" I don't know why you guys insist on putting cheap shit on your car...

projectRDM · 03-27-2009, 12:07 PM

Don't. Nothing fits as good as OE, and I've seen a ton of shitty fenders that were supposedly perfect fit. The car looks fine like it is, don't ruin it with jank ass fiberglass parts that fit like fuck.

See thats what i was thinking thats why i was avoiding getting a kit. We have some effed up roads around here. I just cant go as low as i want in the front because the wheels are so huge. ANd i'd like to run some larger tires as well. Oh well, i do suppose you're right as always

s14unimog · 03-27-2009, 12:12 PM

he speaks the truth. Nothing fits like OE

Don't ever argue with me.

derek_s13 · 03-27-2009, 01:50 PM

car looks great as is. looks like you have nice virgin quarterpanels. don't go ruining them with fiberglass.

also, fitting big wheels WELL on stock body looks more impressive than huge wheels under fiberglass

just was curious how low the muffler on that exhaust is. i've seen some pics of some other ebay kits and they place the muffler towards the center of the car where its at the lowest. also how loud is it? like you said the cutout is best when dealing with the man in the blue but what are your experiences with it?

Its real quiet, and does hang low... I had to weld an extra hanger.. The s13 version's resonator needs dented in a corner because it will hit the driveshaft some. I basically put ring clamps around every urethane hanger to take up some slack. If the exhaust rubs and scrapes, so be it, its pretty sturdy piping.

If you want to hear it on my old redtop s13 (stock t25 on 12lb) heres a link Here right click save as if you want to view.

cdlong · 03-28-2009, 05:56 AM

go for it. that way you can run some real tires and the right amount of camber so you can use all of the tread.

Enna · 03-28-2009, 11:28 AM

If you mold them in, it would probably look pretty good. Granted the fronts have the vents for a reason, and always look ugly as fuck, give it a shot anyways. For the rears definitely mold them in. It looks so much cleaner with them molded into the body lines. Also make that gas door flush. Most ppl wouldn't be able to tell it has rear overs.

SlideWell · 03-28-2009, 11:48 AM

over fenders will not make your wheels look smaller, as long as you adjust your camber. looking at the pictures, i see a small contact patch. i dont know your intentions with the car, but over fenders would enable you to get more tire to the ground. im not a fan of fiberglass myself. i think the car looks good as it is right now.

landins13 · 03-28-2009, 12:07 PM

if you want a dual canister exaust buy the apexi one, sooooo much nicer and to the op i think the car looks good as is, im not a huge fan of s14's but it loks good as is

what about the greddy?

Looks similar to the TRUST dd. Dual 3" pipe to resonator then split to 2 4" tips.

Enna · 03-29-2009, 04:55 PM

Yeah... thats not similar for shit. Trust DD is a blastpipes style setup, that is similar to an apexi dual N1 setup.

Also I love how the sample pic looks nothing like the actual product lol.

hacknik · 03-29-2009, 06:49 PM

LOL, yea, I just realized that, but it was 4am in the morning, gimmie a break :P

opponheimer · 03-29-2009, 07:09 PM

lol similar to trust dd, thats hilarious. like a comparison from daewoo to ferrari

Exactly what i thought lol... stole the words right from me...

Enna · 03-30-2009, 12:47 AM

Back to topic tho, seriously pick the overfenders up and mold them in so it looks stock. That would be the best approach. For the fronts tho... I know they have the vents for a reason, but you can try filling them in I guess and see what happens.
