Can anyone recommend a cheap place to get guards rolled?? I just put new tyres on my car and got a wheel align, it now scrubs like crazy, i didn't go up a size, had 265/35 falkens and now have dodgy 265/35 nexxens... Its rubbing on the inner half of the guard lip, the thing is i think i could solve the problem myself with the trusty angle grinder, is this a good idea? (like i'm only cutting the lip of the guard not the visible part of the guard itself).. although i imagine that lip must add quite a bit of strength to the panel.

Dont cut it youself, the angle grinder could possibly leave some sharp edges.

Hit a hole when turning and it'll slice through that tyre.

If you split the loot with me 50/50 ill roll the guards for you while you do the job... :)

Nah any good wheel shop will do it for you. Most will heat your panels slightlly to stop cracking...

I suggest Superior tyre or Jaxx at Apsley whcih are side by side also...

hmm thanks guys.

Good point about the grinder option, i'll rule that out, only other idea is if i could figure out a way of 'pinching' the lip so it sits higher up, without buckling the guard.

Guess its better to get a proper rolling, col i suggest an oceans 11 style heist on the treasury :) or maybe the italian job is better- use 3 r33's and call it the japanese job lol

be careful where you go. my dad got his guards rolled at jax and they did a crap job. they cracked the paint, if you look closely the guards are unevenly rolled & inside the wheel arch its all messy where the metal has been pushed back. When my dad complained about it they didnt care because they had already got his money from the new 19's he just bought.

hey, my rear tyres were being cut by the guards before i rolled them (had about 300kg worth of stuff in the boot, and 4 passengers, on stock suspension, so it was sagging a farkload) so i pulled the rear wheels off, bashed the inner lip of the guard up flush on the inside (even flared the guards a tiny bit) and it turned out fine!!!!! wouldn't recommend it on a skyline though :blush:

mind you, this is in the middle of nowhere (Torbanlea, which is halfway between Maryborough and Bundaberg)

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
