Will Dentcraft pump out the Gaurds a bit?? incase i wanna put wider tyres on it in the future?

No all they do is heat up the guards and tap it softly for about 20 mins

sounds strange I know but works real good.....no sign it has been done externally

My rears were scraping at every bump and after lipping never had a problem again

but as my wife usually says....no pumping

I think they are in the phone book, but I have a card at work so I will have look tomorrow

and let you know

lol with a jack sounds bush styles too.

So does this; adjusting the cars coilovers to sit super low, then find some heavy people to sit in the back

Back on topic, most places don't guarantee that it wont crack the paint, they use a heat gun to heat the paint and panel cracking still can occur. Around $50 a corner is what most places charge using a proper guard roller, not worth wasting your time with steel poles, jacks, or fat people.

Stuart from Dentcraft did mine. Got the 2 rear guards rolled.

He will jack your car up.

Take the wheels off.

Bolt on a roller to your hub.

Use like a really fkn hot hair-dryer to heat the guards/paint.

Roll them, tap them with a soft hammer/mallet till they're lipped.

If your paint is original and in good condition, you shouldn't have a problem with the paint cracking.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
