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..

^ 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

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

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
