LOL oh, much more than that.... but most importantly, it means you're an idiot.

ok thanks, now i know not to give a shit about ur opinion next time i see one of ur posts.

ur probably one of those guys who sits in his garages in the nude polishing his skyline, with a container of polish in one hand, "some for you, some for me", then starts a thread when a rock bounces up and puts a chip in ur paint.

lols my heat gun and mallet didnt do the job still sometimes rub when i go over big bumps.

so me n mate attacked it with heat gun and a pole.

A1 job of rolling guards :)

why pay someone when u can do it yourself.

my thoughts exactly, poles ftw.

and i mean that in the most heterosexual way.

whip out the angle grinder, it works a treat! no paint cracks, no buckles, and does a much better job.

See what happens next time when someone accidently leans or bumps on your wheel arch a little hard, especially the front guards. The factory lips are folded back at 90 degrees like that for a reason, to maintain the integrety, strength and the general shape of the wheelarch. Grind it off and you've weakened it.

exactly, as a minimum u want to keep the lip, just folded up against the guard.

pole takes like 5 mins a corner not even.

driving to a place to get it professionally done and paying someone 40-50 a corner and seeing them do it in a few mins.

rather do it myself. and save time and money.

but if u guys like to get your tires professionally shined etc

go for it =]

yeh, there's no right or wrong way to go about it, if u dont plan on scrubbing rails or walls and u want ur car to look clean, professional is the way, but if ur not really fussed about minor details and u just want some more clearance, pole/hammer/clamps are fine.

GOD SOME PEOPLE DONT DESERVE TO OWN SKYLINES !!! YOU CRUEL BASTARDS !!! GRINDERS ? HEAT GUNS ? F*CK ME !!! FOR F*CKS SAKE, HAVENT YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF 'DO IT PROPERLY OR DONT DO IT AT ALL ??????'

Dude, Ive had some workshops quote up to $200+ for each corner...... Your best bet is, get yourself a 'guard roller', Its a device, you remove your wheel, bolt it to the hub, and it contains an arm and a roller, starting at the middle, you work your way back and forth and tightening it up as you go, slowly and surely pumping it out, professionals use the same tool. Ive seen it for sale at VG AUTOPAINT at Girraween (NSW) for about $150 !!! you could even start your own business and get your money back after one job LOL

Go to this site, its got all the pics of what Im talking about.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for that pearl of wisdom Captain Obvious. As for the heat gun idea, applying heat during the procedure is acceptable practice. It's great that you take pride in owning a 'Line but FFS dude, lighten up.

Just so that people know, hitting the wheel arches with a grinder is in fact defactable - cutting into the main body. I mean, if the cop was stupid an un-observant, then it's all good, but these cops are becoming smarter and more clued-on within the modifying circles - lots of cops, especially highway patrols, are rev-heads themselves and if they really want to defect a wheel arch that been angle-grinded, then you're f*cked... If I was a cop, Id do exactly THAT to be a pr*ck just because that kid drives a Skyline ..... and dont say it wont happen....grinding the lip off weakens the entire wheel arch etc etc...you can return a pod filter to 'factory' with the stock airbox, but what are you gonna do about the hacked up wheel arch ? find some new guards and replace them I suppose....pretty easy huh ? especially those rear ones.....

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
