KingBaby's Nissan Nismo #0191 'Lin'da'
When i think modified fenders, the first thing that comes to mind are the AMUSE fenders.
Hard to tell in the pics but the sidewalls look like 285's? EDIT Those are 255/30/20

thanks for the inputs guys...
It's only an issue on these roads. If I were on a baby butt smooth track these DD issues wouldn't be a problem...on these roads which are beautifully craved aren't smooth so some of the full angle turns are a problem.
Nismofreak can attest to some of the drops and swoops and curves are demanding!

the normal area...I'm not sure if you guys pay attention to lowered cars and thier front fender how some have a slight buldge in them from when they enter parking garages or any area on angle and elevation change...
some refer to it as the buckle area!?!?!
I'm hopefully looking to size up to 275/35....I might have to do some type of mild flare in the end....
thanks guys for the inputs!
EDIT:
nothing serious just random pics

Heavy is what it's not...It had to be 1/3 the weight of the stock bar...super light.
somewhat from my350z, it was a local sale! Now I gotta change out the other bar...

next mod...
I "threaded" the hose into the 2 ½” hole I cut in the plastic panel that mounts the radiator. I made 2 simple hose clamp mounting brackets using a hacksaw, drill, file and vice, out of hardware store T-brackets and L-brackets. The L-bracket mounts underneath on of the caliper mounting bolts. The T-bracket mounts to the protruding end of a bolt in the lower arm using a thin series nut a ground down from a regular series nut.










That looks cool, but it doesnt seem like the tube will get much direct air forced to the rotors...The tube entry is kind of hidden in the bumper. Maybe I'm wrong, thats just what it looks like.
I think it would be a cool mod to do, however if you're going to improve your braking reliability I would suggest changing out your brake line fluid to something more high temp rated first. Past tests of the Nismo show the brakes failing after a few consecutive hard stops, causing the fluid to overheat.
