pm '180athid' on these forums and ns.com - he rolled my guards, did a good job...

$45 a corner...

Athid gets my vote also, hes flared my 33, and he'll be flaring the s14 in a couple of weeks time :)

Oh Daz, if uve seen Freddys S14, Athid rolled the @$$ end on that too.

I thought rolling the guards was just doing something to the inside lip...didnt think it affected the outside appearance at all?

I think they mean flaring?

But Motorware in Clayton also does it too :P

Oh and if there's a group buy of somesort.. I'm in! :(

im just talking about rolling the guards to fit wide rims...not interested in flaring

anyone know if rolling the guards (may also be called lipping?) requires respraying?

Cracking the paint is a definite possibility (just look at mine...) which will at the very least need a touch up/spray

due to need with wider rims and when you lower it a fair bit? whats width rims would need the guards rolled...I think I want some 9.5"s on the back and 8.5" on the front with stock springs atm...wondering if I need some rolling action...guess I will find out!

my paint cracked. But its obvious that it will happen, i mean bending the inside lip up involves a 90 degree angle change for the steel& paint...paint is usually not that flexible....

i just used a little touchup paint over the cracks and where my shitty paint flaked off, you can't see it unless your looking up at the guards...so basically no visual change... :P

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
