as the title suggests, does anyone round here have a guard roller i can borrow to do my rears?

mine broke the other day, and i cant bear the thought of paying for rolling guards when i have already shelled out for the freakin roller!

beers?

There's a guy from the AE86 forums who has a guard roller you could borrow but has to be used in his driveway.. I think.

$10 per guard and you can do whatever you want. He's in Endeavour Hills and if you're interested let me know and I'll pass on some details.

hey man.... hows the new car going? might have to look into it.... :)

still havent wired up my 4a yet ;)

Ah the turbo's seized, waiting on a replacement turbo at the moment. Apart from that it's a very nice ride. :D

Pretty sure you've seen him around the 86DC forums anyway, his name's Sam_Q. Does quite a bit of fab work as well if you need anything done. Wouldn't be surprised if he could do your wiring as well.

Shoot him a msg, I'm sure he'll be of some help.

Hey Adam-___- I thought you had a guard roller?

Dan (risol) on AE86DC could help you out, he runs ADM on AE86DC...

Might've had one which I borrowed, but never owned one.

Maybe SAUVic should purchase a guard roller and then lend it out to their members..

Too many people have had them and rented them out, only to have them come back broken... It might not be the best thing to do, Unless it was rented out at a decent rate.

Basically ;)

Eventually someone would screw it over.

There are plenty of places that have rolling devices. Some more primative than others - some people are also prepared to gamble the paint cracking if they get a bit too excited :bunny:

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
