Thinking of doing mine this weekend, concern being how ridgid is the guard after?

The little lip looks like it adds reinforcement to the cut out, I don't want to end up with a weak edge that easily flexes about.

Also anyone had insurance trouble with rolled guards?

I've had mine done mate and there is no issues with rigidity, it's perfectly fine and since doing it there has been no change to the guard what so ever. All I can say is check for bog on all of your gaurds using a magnet, make sure you put some cloth between it and the gaurd so you dont scratch your paint.

Are you rolling the gaurds coz of wheel fitment issues?

As for insurance it all depends on the assessor on the day that looks over your car (when your making a claim that is), it might be something that they dont even pick up. I know when I made my claim the assessor looked at it for 5 mins and left... Some insurance companies don't void the claim if the accident wasn't related to the modification, but then again some may to get out of paying you.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
