If John is too busy - and Vision can't - you can go to Australia Best Tyres at Lakemba - Htey did mine no problems.

So what .... John is too busy for you Carlo ?? It only takes 5 mins per side - that's soft.... I'm booked in on Saturday at UAS for potential guard rolling... bring on the 265 semi slicks for wakefield :P

my paint didnt crack, as long as they heat it up properly it should b all good.

odds are tempe has done alot more guard rollin than any other place.

Rolling guards is like making sausages, passing federal legislation or childbirth - you don't wanna be there when it happens.

My car will be rolled and painted by the weekend so you guys should have an idea of a what a crap job looks like!

Problem is that the car is not available for him to do it until later this week. He offered to lend me the machine but I am way to busy and also not wanting to **** the car up.

I have 255s on the front, so I am hoping they can roll the guards enough to not cause any issue.

They fit.. Just

I am thinking of changing the rubber on the fronts to 235 or something on the same rim..

good idea

strectch the rubber, i got 235 rubber on a 9.5 wide wheel,

reason 1 it looks good ( i think so anyway)

reason 2 i cant afford 265 rubber.

any1 know if stretch the tyre is bad 4 it?

i know its not recommended but is there real chance of damage?

any1?

I went to a tyre place. They can even put 225 wide rubber on a 9inch rim. Sheesh

I went to vision, they are really nice guys who got my front bar sorted for me. However I am not that happy with how they rolled the guards, they just seemed to lip them. I am going to go out to tempe tomorrow and get them to do it some more.

It seems that vision dont have the machine required, but I know for sure that tempe can do it... how else do you fit 20inch chromies on a swift. :(

Hi Carlo, couple of Q's please...

What vehicle are you doing this work to ?

What width & diameter of wheel do you wish to fit ?

Reason I ask is I would love to fit 17"x 9" wheels f&r to an ECR33. But they well & truly protrude beyond the front guards. is rolling/reshaping an option, or do I need GTR/aftermarket guards ???

good thread, very interesting.

Thanks for your help

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
