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

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
