hey people, ive decided to purchase a pro guard roller. ive used one quite a lot in the kustom shop where i worked. i need my guards rolled and have a heap of mates cars to do. its an average price charged. if anyone is in need to have there guards rolled let me know, roller should be here in about 2 weeks. this is the only way to to a good job, normal pannel beaters use a hammer and dolly, u could imagine what this dose to your paint. the roller dosent leave a mark if done properly.

i will service brisbane and gold coast mainly and will do other areas as well, normal price is $50 per guard, will offer a 10% discount to SAU members and 15% for SAU members that come to me. as i spend half my time in brisbane and the other half on the gold coast.

I'm interested!

What can you provide as a guarantee that the paint won't crack, damage the panel or any thing else.

I'm sure some other people here would like their rides done but would like some assurance that they will receive a professional job.

im sorry but i cant guarantee that the paint won't crack, it depends on what is under your paint, if there is any bog, well i can tell u now there is an 80% chance it will, if there is bog u can tell on the spot after checking your guards. if there is no bog, then your pretty safe a good 99% chance nothing will happen. 1% as there is a risk in everything, but u can tell if the paint is going to crack before u go to far.

the drama comes in when u start pumping the guards. it can be done and ive done a few cars like that, can pump guards up tp 25mm, but costs more due to time. there is a risk with it though. i will be rolling and pumping my guards about 25mm and will take before and after shots during each process.

it all comes down to the way you approach the job, be professional take every precaution and advise the owner if there is a risk of the paint cracking then if the owner is happy to take the risk of cracking then nothing can be said if the paint cracks.

saying this, i have done about 15 cars, and only 1 was a problem because it had bog. i told the owner and he told me to continue. it cracked slightly but was right under the guard.

all i can do is be honest with you guys.

ive used the gaurd rolling machine on many occasions, and there is no gaurentee that the paint wont crack, even with no bog there is still a chance of cracking the paint especially where there are screw holes and so forth, after he first few attemps to get the gaurds rolled proffesionally i went and saw my riend the panel breater and he did it with a lead hammer and it was 100 times beter. just my 2 cents.

Unfortunately Luke this is a public forum in which you have created a public thread... If someone wants to offer their opinion, they are quite entitled to...

If you want to keep other peoples opinions out of it go and start this same thread in the For Sale section and see how long it lasts in there...

i Apologise for my last post, im just trying to help other people on here. yes we all have opinions on everything, im a Professional operator, and ive been honest with everyone with what the risks are, so they allready know what can happen, but done right the end results are perfect, ive done plenty of cars, some of which have been trophy winning cars, and have had there guards rolled ofter being painted.

all i can say is the results speak for them selves. i will post photos of cars i will be doing in the next few weeks, then we all can visually see the results.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
