looking to get my guards rolled to fit 18 x 275's on the ass of my 33 gtst, and 255's on the nose

any ideas on where to go that will do a good job (heated etc) and probably not fcuk my paint?

i searched some (not much admittedly) and only really found threads from a few years back which probably don't apply anymore and have a heap of closed workshops (like when i went down to ICE performance, who incidentally still have their website up) :rolleyes:

give police rd panels a call, speak to harry, tell him you are from the skyline forums.

he doesnt like rolling the guards as the paint usually cracks so he suggested he shave some of the inside of the lip..

worked a treat, dont rub, cant tell its been cut and looks 100 times better than a rolled guard.

PM 180athid on here, flared my 33 rears out about 30mm.

Top job, top prices!!

[EDIT]Im also running 275's on the rear, id say if u got a high enough offset ull only have to lip the guards.

U dont really wanna roll the guards cos u bust up the crease on the 33, unless u got GTR rear guards to go over and bring back that 33 shape.

If you dont want to stuff your paint then you can trust him. Mind you, if your gaurds have any bog in them at all they will crack straight away.

Mine were done before painting i will add. but they look shit hot.

Dont go to the tire factory in Dandeenong. I took my last car there and they rolled the shit outa my gaurds and F*%#ed them. I ended up selling the car cause it was gonna cost me to much to repair. C*(k heads. Some young apprentice dude did em and they didn't even ask me. I mean f*&ck I cracked the shit at them and didn't pay. To top it off the new wheels still rubbed. I woulda been better off just raiing the car up and inch or two.

Oh well I got a new beast now!

Been burnt by them too. See the thread on wheel spacers. Avoid them is my advice.

Avoid TTF in Scumshine also!!

Although he doesnt know it yet, Athids probably gonna be flaring my fronts (if poss), so ill throw up some pics when/if done.

Trent, answer my messages, ive got business to send your way ;)

is it really possible to flare stock front guards? i got told that it was a no go...? don't need much, only slightly.

Athid - you did the rears on my gts4 nicely...wanna do the fronts on my gtst?

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
