Its a hit and miss affair. sometimes the paint cracks regardless of what precautions are taken. Its the risk you take.

Doin mine on the weekend, Will be interesting to see if i can gitterdone without busting the paint.

in my experience (got all 4 done on my R32), from what i have ben told by the guy who did mine, the paint should never crack if someone good is doing it

if you are FLARING the guards then its another story, but simply rolling should be fine if the paint is heated and a good technique is used..

what i was going to say, if you dont want it cracked then ask him before.

mine cracked when we did it, but then again we did flare them a bit and didnt heat them, but gettin a resray so wasnt worried.

Spoke to kevin on the phone and he said he heat the paint up and roll them several times starting with a smaller angle working the lip back. Shouldn't damage the paint but depends on the condition and how old the paint is.

Seems like a pretty cool guy. $130 for him to come to brissie and could be cheaper if I go to him down the coast.

    • So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4
    • Haha wow, yes they do! Will sort tomorrow.
    • Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info! 
    • As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
