Roberto's PMC enhanced 260Z

[Roberto]

Then cover car well, mark out another line 1 inch below flare line, drill out holes to a size to match nut inserts and insert nut inserts.  Mick had modified a pop rivet gun to work on nut inserts.  Genius.

Then cut away......

[Roberto]

The inner skin of the rear guards is then cut about 5mm lower than the outer skin, bent up to form a strong lip and tack welded to outer skin.

[Roberto]

The fronts are much easier because no double layer, but the tyres do rub against the fender and spoiler when turning due to extra size. This area must be trimmed like so.....

[Roberto]

That was the day with the hard work all done. 

Left to do is paint the flares (satin black), paint/seal the cut metal and get some rubber welting to go inbetween the flares and the guards.  I will post pics when all complete......

Well done mate, must have been nervous cutting into precious metal like that.

I would be burnt really badly the next day if I welded without a long shirt/jacket. How are you feeling?

Then again, it was just little tack welds with pretty thin metal/low current.

I am used to it mate I weld every day like that. In fact i got burned worse once while wearing a jumper because my sleeve caught on fire haha.

Good right up roberto. Perhaps this should be put up as a sticky in its own thred for a tutorial

Hey mate, the flairs are looking good ... something else that is looking good is your new head!
It really is a work of art!

I like the look of my new head......

I am no expert, but the ports do look big, even and smooth.  Are you going to bench test it for flow numbers or trust SW's graph?

[peter mc]

I will test it ...can not wait. it is really nice to look at the work is top notch

[zzzzed]

Shut up simon, or should i say simon's

way to upstage a man Pete haha! Nice work man

very nice - is that a EFI E88 from the L24E power 240K sold in Oz or the older E88 with a weld/work - either way look very nice.
