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.

Low Down did my old car, did quite a good job. If he hasnt changed his number its 0438 892 344 - Gavin

Thanks man, is he on SAU or NS.com?

Might just send him a PM first rather than calling him out of the blue.

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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
