Hi guys,

I am going to be fitting wider wheels/tyres on the back of my R32 gtst. I've been told by the people i've ordered off that i will have to roll the guards/widen/flare or what ever terminology is used to fit these.

My question is, where's a good place to get this done in the Sydney area, i would obviously like a professional squeaky clean job, so if anyone could recommend somewhere would be appreciated. Also, any feedback would be welcome. I am fitting 265's on the back. What you think?

Thanks in advance.

hey i have 18x 9 on the back of my r32 gts4 and they fit fine with no mods to the guards

yes but this may be because of the offset of the rim ;)

have a look in the back of most car mags dude there are generally advetisers who roll guards with a machine the bolts on to your studs turn the wheel and presto guard rolled and usually this wont require the guard to be repainted either...otherwise fit the new wheel get a nice solid metal bar and jam it at one end of the wheel arch and drive forward slowly while someone holds it in place....can be very affective can also f**k your paint and make guards look shit but hey if your putting big rims like that on your car one would assume you could afford the professional jobbie!!

good luck

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
