yes it is bursons,they have a website but they dont have an online catalogue, but you call 1300burson

and ask for a fender roller.$175

they are all over australia, the closest one to me is seven hills , sydney

Another company can get them for 200 is AUTOLAC

They both have a 2 day wait on them cause they are shipping them up from melbourne ( same distributor )

That just about wraps it all up, now i have to get the tool and perform surgery on the guards

Keep you all posted!!!!!!!!!

ima gonna go to the penrtih one tomorrow and order one i think .. $175 is too good a price

Why are they so cheap? I would've thought they'll be at least $400, but $129? That's crazy cheap.

I'm just gonna wait till the Christmas sales. :whistling: I don't even have a licence or a proper car I can drive yet so no point buying it JUST yet.

Well i just picked mine up

normal chinese tool, but still sturdy and looks like it will do the job pretty well. hopefully i'll find some time soon to test it out

ended up getting it for $145 from burson's in penrith

was changing some upper control arms, so while the wheel was off i bolted the unit on to get a feel for how it worked, fits good and will do the job.

there will be alot of adjusting involved since the wheel arches arent a perfect circle

also need to remove the calipers to get the unit to do a full sweep.

heres a pic - not bad for $145

Myself & a mate flared the guards on my S14 a month or so back.. Im running 18x9 +25ish on the rear of the car with the 265's which came with them & I have my car on the deck.

Her'es something different if your ballsy enough to try it :) worked awesome for me...

We used a jack handle first with a heatgun to roll the inner lip slowly driving back & forth.

Then once the inner lip was rolled we got 2 sheets of thin Ply, 2 very thin pieces of aluminium & a scissor jack for the flaring.

Put the scissor jack in your wheel arch & wind out so that it has alluminium then wood pushing against your guard slowly heat the arch & keep increasing the tension on the jack & it will push your guard out.. you will have to move the jack 3 or 4 times so you get an even flare but the results were excellent.. I got about an inch out of my guards with no cracking, so now I can fit my 18x10 +18's :D

Pics below... If any of you have seen standard S14 guards you will appreciate how much flare we have got in the 2nd pic..

We custom rolled my guards with a piece of round metal pipe lift car up put pipe in then roll the car with handbrake off worked well for free and about 5 mins work each front been done to au falcon too with custom paint worked quite well, i was like maybe abit dodgey but once it was doene came up a treat and 10 minutes i can do lol

there are heaps and heaps of threads on this dude..

no it wont screw anything up.. maybe your paint on the lip but thats it..

rolling and flaring are 2 different things. and both are only done to the outer skin... not the inner guard if thats what your referring to.

Yeah, don't want to flare.

dont waste your money on the burson tool its a heap of shit, mine threaded on the first guard about 5 passes in. next time id pay someone else to do it. however i have welded a few nuts and a new bolt onto the burson tool and it has improved it out of sight.

and craved, the washers on the handle are to go under the wheel nuts. if anyone was wondering?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
