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.

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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
