My 18X9.5 + 22 have just arrived!

Will get the guards rolled and tyres fitted this week.

Then I will have some photos for you broad minded persons

Predictions - Nice fitment on front, notsoflush on rears. 10mm spacers bro :D

Fitted well on hectics car so we will see.

So getting the guards rolled

The guy just asked me how much they needed to be rolled. From my understanding it's just that inside lip part rolled up flush? Or am I missing something

Yeah, it's just a lip on the inside of your guard that needs to be pushed up to take off the sharp edge. He may be an idiot and thinks you mean flare? If he doesn't know what rolling is, goto someone else..

Im a major noob to wheels guys im upgrading to a series 3 R33 GTR soon and CBF reading through the 107 pages lol :yes: but basically the below link are the rims im looking to buy im after these in 18x10 - 10.5" if i can get them just wondering if anybody can tell me what offset i would need to get 275-285s under the ass without stupid camber or rolling guards etc they also need to clear my alcon brakes which are 315mm rear rotors and 4 spot calipers and and fronts are 356mm rotors with BIG 4 spot calipers im after diiiiiiiish also :whistling: Is this possible?

Cheers fellas

^ sure can and u can do an awesome job to if you take ur time at it

- Roll it with a round bar on the tyre! Do that by hamd and not with motion of the car or ull fu** the guard

- Can hammer it flat while bracing with ur hand on the outerside of the guard (obviously use a panel beaters hammer.....hard plastic ones)

Thats just some of the ways

Nah thats about right some people charge $75 a side however just for a roll on inside should not crack paint specially if they know what they are doin

Take some time and buy 5$ hammer n do it properly yourself massaging the inner lip flat!

You will appreciate it more and get a bit of experience :)

On the fronts make sure you take out the guard liner and tabs etc before hitting it :)

yeah take it out... i dont run them on any of my cars lol

just be sure when you are hitting the guard that you brace with your hand on the outsite of the guard where you are hitting and you will be sweet :) just work slowly around until you have the desired affect you want

Stock arms just lowered with coilovers which gave them some camber. Will be going in for a wheel alignment after this weekend and I can get exact figures.

Fronts I am going to remove the liner and roll them because of scrubbing

I have a guard roller, but I have also done it with a baseball bat over the tyre.

you can even just raise the car, jam a phone book in there and lower it again slowly and let it sit... that's how we did bombtrack's 34 front guards.

just need to have a heatgun for all methods

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
