fisch Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Really digging those flares on this goon man! Quote Link to comment
blueridgespeed Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 mocked up some wheels and flares. Not sure on the front flares yet, might cut them down a little bit. Will be getting smaller tires up front as well. probably 205 instead of the 215's. +1 on the wheel and flare envy! That's pretty sexy! Are they ZG flares? You mention tire width, can you estimate wheel size and offset for us? Are they 15x8 or 9, et 0? Sorry if this has already been answered but I didn't find it going back a bit in the thread, anyway. Nice wagon! Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 the wheels are 15x8 -30 offset. I have 280zx struts with z31 5 lug hubs. The flares are a unversal 5" flare. Ultimately i was thinking of running a staggered wheel set up with 15x7 or 8's in the front 15x10's in the back. We'll see what i can get my hands on. And then running 3" flares in the front.

troyt Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Another flare option... Link to flare mounting post Second link to flare mounting on my goon 1 Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 not a lot of updates, just got engaged so a lot of time into planning stuff and saving money. I think your car is awesome troyt. I got similar fender flares as well and mocked those up, but decided to go with the style posted. However I now have 4" flares up front and 5 in the back which i like. I miss driving my datsun. :( Quote Link to comment

troyt Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 "just got engaged so a lot of time into planning stuff and saving money." Congratulations, foo! Too bad another Datsun project goes unfinished ;-) Can't wait to see your flare job. I like the ones you mocked up, I thought of those too but stuck with the oldschool ones to keep with the vintage racecar theme. Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 "just got engaged so a lot of time into planning stuff and saving money." Congratulations, foo! Too bad another Datsun project goes unfinished ;-) hahaha, im lucky.. as she loves the datsun and doesn't give me crap about working on it, so i figure in return I could put the project on hold for a little bit. Now if she was really naggy about me working on it, that would be a whole different story. :lol: Here are some "update" pics. Just been doing little things but nothing major. Still need to get my driveshaft made, new gears for the rear end, gas tank, and flares. then I'll be rolling! This is my $30 junkyard seat that I made.. heh.. Color scheme i'm thinking about doing.

jun Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Holy smokes, the most beast wagon ever. That looks insane! Loving the flares and stance. I have been bouncing around for the past few months wondering if I should cut up my wagon and get it lower and wider...your work is truly inspiring! Can't wait to see more progress on it! And congrats on your recent engagement. As most married men know, wives love Datsuns... :D Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 thanks guy's. Jun- i love your wagon it is super nice and clean. Don't cut it! Get another and do it.. :) Quote Link to comment
troyt Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ditto to Jun, you're wagon looks perfect as is! And my wife digs wagons too, she's got a red Mazda 3 wagon! The garage looks cool with two Lil' Red Wagons in it :cool: Quote Link to comment
johnbureezu Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Man, those flares are right! I've been really really contemplating it myself, but you're the first one I've seen that did it the way I envisioned in my head. Did you do any cutting on the rear door and fender well? And who did you source the flares from? Nice and bubbly/round. Sorry, but I may have to bite. lol ... This yellow 4dr is sooo yummy::::: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/16985-bubble-flares-on-a-4-door/ Quote Link to comment
