Hey everyone,

Lately I've been getting my car ready to get painted and been stuck on ideas for the rear gaurds. I have GTR front fenders and wanted to pump the rears aswell to enable me to fit 18x10's or wider.

I decided to flare the stock guards, and done it with a guard roller and it only lipped it a little. So i decided to use a piece of pipe... I have heard good and bad stories about flaring with pipe... and this story is 50/50 good/bad.

Here are some shots of what happened.....

basically the drivers side turned out VERY nice and then sadly the pasenger side exploded with bog, so now im destined for over fenders. It also cracked the steel right out. But I still recommend this is a good way of flaring r32 gaurds.

Can you explain how you bend it with the pipe?

Would I be right in thinking you use the tyre as leverage against the guard?

if thats how its done it sounds dodge at first but Im thinking about it now hahaha

haha kind of... you stick the pipe in at one end,,, and u roll the car backwardsand forwards, and it flares it. It will turn out 90% nice if u have no bog, u will need to bog and paint gaurds after its done if u dont want the slight ripple look... but look at my drivers side gaurd, it looks nice apart from a tiny bit of bog

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
