Depending on how your wheels sit, I think all you'll need is a roll.

PM 180athid on the forums. He does guard rolling and does a very good job. I think he charges about $45 per guard to roll and I'm not too sure what he charges for a flare, but I would guess $55+. PM to get a more accurate price.

Rolling guards is just folding the lip that hangs out from under your guards flat against the guard itself. Flaring is folding that lip and continuing pushing the guard out so that the guard is 'stretched' in a way. Rolled guards shouldn't be noticed unless you're looking from right underneath your guard. Flaring you should be able to notice.

I'll try to get a few pictures though just to show you what I mean.

Edit: Alright, here's a picture of a guard before it was rolled,

Here's the after it was rolled,

Here's another of before and afters.

Here's a flare, you should be able to notice the difference between these cars standard.

Hope that helps.

hmmm hopefully thats all i need but i want to flare my guards as well

so i need the best places in melb that does it

any one recommend any place with good experience

Which side of Melbourne are you from? If you're from the east, I'm always hearing good things about Micolour in Moorabbin. If from the west, I always hear good things (usually on NS.com) about Primal Garage.

A little search in the Vic Section will give you more information on where these places are located.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
