Got some damage on my Rays Volk Formula 17's, gutter rash on 3 wheels.

Does anybody know a professional "wheel beater" or someone who knows how to fix these in Melbourne? I'm also missing one of the golden caps and one of the rings around the golden cap, also seeking those 2 items.

Or does anybody have a set of these wheels they are selling?

Here is a pic:

PM me as well as posting here!!

Edited by pablo101

there was a discussion the other day about this over SAU-Vic Exec mail... someone should just copy/paste

had all the top info you ask for!

If i was @ work i'd do it.

So sit tight till tomorrow, someone will see this and slap it up

I had some rims re-rolled at this place.

Ajax Motor Wheels

Cnr Exley Drv & Ewar St, Moorabbin

VIC, 3189

Ph:(03) 9555 7737

They were quick and reasonably priced compared with another one I checked out.

They told me exactly what they were going to do and when they would be ready.

Just a couple of nice old guys running the place, but professional enuf for an old workshop.

I don't think they will fix major gutter rash thou. But they were talking about a welder they got to do some work on that sort of thing, so I would give them a call or pop in with the rim and see what they say. They will be able to point you in the right direction.

Also if it's just minor gutter rash, it's pretty easy to clean that up yourself with a decent small toothed file.

My right rear seems to wobble a bit when in motion...I think it might be the small chunk that the previous owner took out, which causes it to not be perfectly round when spinning, giving the illusion that its wobbling....If its something more serious like a buckled rim, are the places listed in here the kinds of joints I need to be talking to for my rim, or are there other specialists etc for it?

Never mind, I just read the services they offer so if mine is buckled they're who I need to see...

However if anyone knows of any on the west side that'd be better :)

Try these guys

Did a repair on my front rims. Awesome job, but can be a little exxy.

They repaired both the passenger wheels lips on one of my cars and the repair came up better than the factory job on the otherside. Highly recomended.

i got a set of steel rims all fixed up from that ajax place

awesome job they were buckled n had dints in the lip and all fixed them up a1

try them out, if not i have heard advance alloy repairs r good but bit pricey, good luck :(

Oh yeah dezz, im all about being stingy :D

Can any1 post up some prices of what it cost them to fix their rims?

Also do any of these places also modify rims? Say if i wanted to change my spokes from chrome to shadow chrome or gunmetal?

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
