Hey Guys

Sorry if this has already been covered but im not having any luck.

i have a R33 GTS-T which already had the front guards rolled when i bought the car. Since, i have gotten new wheels which have started to peel the guards back a bit so i need to get the rolled again to stop scrapping around corners.

I have been to a bunch of panel beaters around North Ryde and some places on Victoria road and they all tell me they dont have the equipment to do the job. Can someone recommend a good place in Sydney that can get this done and what the average cost is for the job?

Also on my right rear guard i have a bit of paint thats cracked. What would you suggest to do to stop rust starting? get it repainted?

thanks for any help.

With cracked paint, I just sprayed clear coat over it. Can't tell anything has been painted on it, but it will protect it from corrosion. This was with my ke70, with a skyline, I would get it resprayed properly.

Average price for a roll job would be roughly $50 per guard, or even $45.

Around $50-$60 a guard sounds right... don't live in Sydney so can't recommend which place to go to - but with paint scrapping... get some sand paper and sand it back smoothly, then spray some primer on the cracked area (with other areas masked up of course) - then apply a few layers of matching paints then clear coat it... and it should not be noticable at all.

Good luck.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
