guard rolling tool?????


Recommended Posts

TTF (The Tyre Factory) Preston

On the Hume HWY. Between Bell Str. and Mohoney's Rd. on the left as you are heading outbound (Campbellfield).

I advise NOT to do it, as any rolling of gaurds can crack the paint. May not happen straight away, but may happen later on. No-one gives a garantee against cracking of paint around the gaurds.

I have 19" rims with 275/30/19(rear) - 245/35/19(front) rubber and still have not needed to roll my gaurds.

I have TEIN height and damper adjustable suspension. The car is lowered but not excessively, and the struts are fairly stiff (not much travell, on softest setting). The car would look alot meaner if lowered alot more, but i would then be required to roll the gaurds, and have to worry about speed humps, gutters, driveways, etc., which i could live without the hassle.

Keeping in mind that the rims are 19's. When i look at the gaurd from wheel hight, the wheel arche sits at the same point as the top of the tyre. This is possible a the rim is not flush or sticking out of the gaurds and the rubber curves in a little from the outside walls. I am unable to stick me finger between the gaurds and the rubber :) .

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
