Try showndown customs at Everton hills, 3353 1260.

Or do them yourself use a axe handle and lever it between the tyre and guard, a mate did it to his car no problems. But personally i would use a pro, knowing my luck if i tried to do it i would fu#k it.

camerons at coopers plains did mine

they do awesome work and are cheap, but also painted my car so i know they have the paint to match

when i got my rears rolled, it was subtle as and it still cracked the paint, got it fixed

I took my car to superior tyres at aspley. They said guard rolling woudn't be enough and recommended they cut some of the lip off the guard instead. Started on the car right away and had it done in less than 30 min, and solved my problem of the tyres rubbing on the guard without any risk to cracking the paint :( Highly recommended!!

this is who i used MANY years ago. Some who went there got cracked paint, but mine never did,even after 3+ years. I believe they bolt an arm on the wheel studs and there is a roller at the end the arcs around the inside of the guard while they heat it with a heat gun.

Guys,

I figured when I am down in Brisbane getting my car tuned I may as well get my guards rolled so I can fit my new wheels as well. Anyone got a recommendation of who does a good job?

Cheers.

hi mate,

Just got mine done, my new rims offset was a tiny bit out and cause some trouble on boost, over bumps, with my 265's. i got mine done at SWT on moss st in slacks creek, they are quite good. they do it properly. heat up the gaurds, ahve have the proper equipment. no cracks or issues at all.

cost u about 50$ per gaurd.

Do you have a number for SWT? Or can you tell me the full name of this company? I couldn't find a number for SWT when I tried.

Cheers,

Ben.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
