Hey there,

Just wondering if anyone knows of anyone, not just smash repairs etc, but maybe mobile people who are involved with guard flaring.

I have an r32 gtst and i may need to get my guards flared about 1 1/2 inches.

Cheers in advance

i got mine done in the valley by an excellent mob called "exclusive auto centre"

about 70 per corner but they didn't crack the paint one bit

highyl recommended if you want a perfect job and can afford it. personally, its not worth the risk to go cheap because if the paint cracks then it cen't be reversed..

do a search in the QLD section for more info :(

Just dont expect paint not to crack...

especially the kind of flaring you are asking for... 1 1/2 inches is a fair bit

Rolling wont crack the paint.. But flaring will almost certainly crack the paint

Im guessing you had your guards rolled WAZ? Because flaring will crack paint almost definetly

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
