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

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

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
