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.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
