looks the same as the bursons one Neil

Yea your right Chris and I'm starting to think all of them under $200 bucks are all the same.

That e-bay search is "Autolac" who are a paint supplier and have stock.

I'm just going to buy the cheapest one and fix it when it breaks.

Cheers

Neil.

Can anyone confirm whether rolling your guards, rears in particular is a defect? Ive been told that its considered altering the structural integrity of the car and as a result is a defect?

Also, for anyone interested, I bought one of the rollers off Ebay, seller is based in Adelaide so was able to go and collect it...paid around $150 for it, worked fine...I will add, be very careful rolling the rear guards on an R32, they are prone to denting along the lip if you try to stretch/flare the guard...it is the design of the guard, there is a tighter radius curve in the panel as it goes underneath and rolling this causes stress and creates dents. Im sure its not just R32s that this happens on, have seen other cars dented up as a result...

As for rolling/ flaring heres my contribution, very smooth and free with my hammer ;) prob not many of you SAU blokes style but here goes..

When i got defected the inspectors almost made me get a engineers cert because they couldn't measure a proper eye brow height pinch.gif

Then they went on saying "it looks to been professionally done" so let me go.

Is that true that you cant roll front guards on GTR's?? and if you can is there anyone in perth area that can do it.

Also wondering this, on account of them being alloy.

I'm more interested in the rear gaurds though - want to get 11" under there and don't want to mess around with tons of bog or fibreglass.

i went to get the rears rolled on my 32r a week ago and the length adjustment on the guard roller wouldn't go short enough :(

not sure if all are the same, but when we jacked up the car, the suspension wouldn't allow the rear hub to drop low enough. now i am outta ideas... any suggestions?

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
