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.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
