Hey all,

was down at commercial polishers and they quoted me $800 to polish all four rims..

I have works meister s2r, they are deep dish..

Do you think that is worth it?

he also said just to clean and dip in acid, would be $140..

anyone know any other places?

I need to clean my rims.. brake dust and melted rubber are all over them.. :D

maybe try Elite plating... they *MIGHT* do polishing seperately as well. They did a lotta polishing for my dad's classic he was restoring, but he also gave them a lot of chroming business so unsure.

Try em anyway. :D

Yeah that sure sounds a bit rediculous. Try this mob

EXTENSIVE WHEEL SERVICES

307 South Rd Mile End 5031 (08) 8352 5777

I had both my front rims scraped & it cost $88 each to get them both polished back, though they're not a deep dish. I wouldn't think it'd cost a hell of a lot more to do yours, give them a go. They did a great job, would never know they were ever near a kerb.

Also try Adelaide Wheel & Rim just accross the road from them. I had 1 of mine fixed under insurance & extensive was the place they sent me to. So I don't know what these guys are like.

Yeah thanks every one for their input.. I'll do a bit more shopping around..

It's not that DIY option is beyond me..just that I don't think it'd give me the same outcome..

I saw the polish the guy did and it virtually looked chrome..

So I wonder if these other places do the same..

This time I'll prolli chuck the rims on the back of a ute and bring them in..haha.

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
