Low Down guard rolling has a mobile service. I'll get contact details for you at work tomorrow Abu.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Athid

Yep spoke to Athid already, he charges a $30 call out fee + $50 per side

See if anyone can beat that.. if not then I may just wait till I can drive it somewhere and get it done.

If you need rims to get around on man, you know where I am.

ah awesome, thanks heaps man.

I got some rims on the car but if it bounces it will touch the guard and the last thing I want is to cause some damage.

I don't want to reset the suspension just to drive it somewhere to get the guards rolled, so hoping someone can just come around and do it.

Worse case I'll just put some other wheels on and drive it somewhere, once its drivable that is.

Hey

Paint only cracks when you actually flare the guard, but if your just rolling the inner lip of the guard so not modifiying the external/outside of the guard then there shouldn't be any reason the paint would crack.

Gee your lazy hit the search button Poof :thumbsup:

lol

Search buttons for poofs

Abu, as Shadz has posted, Gavin's number is 0438892344. Nice bloke. Has an old school sled. Last time i saw it it was in pieces.

Thanks for Scott, will give him a call today and see if i can work something out.

Thanks for all the help.

Nope as you are folding the metal inside and rolling it.. it still puts stress on the lip..

Mine were rolled only.. and they developed slight spiderweb cracks

Rolling the guards will cause cracking...how much it will crack will depend on the condition of the paint and how skilled the guard roller is...and heating the crap out of the guard helps too...

Can't you 'make' a crack along where you want it to before you start rolling to minimise cracking in unwanted areas? Just say you were just rolling the inside lip and you were scared of the paint cracking out to where you could see it, can't you get like a stanley knife and make a scratch inside the guard so that when it's rolled, IF it cracked, it'll crack in that spot? Did I make any sense?

Yeah was just talking to LEANBAC about this before, if you cut lines into it, it folds over easier so causing less strain on the paint and stretch, if any.

But I haven't seen/heard of people cracking the paint by just rolling the lip in, so not flaring the guard.

My friend had his R32 done not long ago and it was fine, also my cousin used to do guard rolling and it used to come up awesome.

They didn't used to flare just roll the lip as they couldn't guarantee the paint wouldn't crack.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
