Hi just wondering what sort of profession straightens mags, do i just take it to a tyre place?

"Had a wonderful night last. Took my skyline to the shops, and on the way in i heard a clunk from my front right wheel, and just though it bent out my guard. checked it was fine so didn't worry. Left the shops (from undercover where there was light) then heard and felt bad noises at the front wheel, looked outside at it to realise in was buckled. Pulled up in the dark had a look to realise i was missing 4 wheel nuts, Luckily i had four lock nuts sitting in my centre console from december. (Never put them on because of the stereo in the boot, so i left it; Pulled out the stereo the other day to realise i have no jack or spanner)

Rang the g/f got the gear and fixed it up, put the four lock nuts on the one wheel, now i cannot find the lock nut fitting.

Now is this just Karma cuz i didn't put the gear in my car or has someone tampered with them cuz they dislike my skyline (there are alot of people that love to hate skylines)."

Morton and May in NSW are arguably the best in AUS, we tried nearly every one (3 or 4 in VIC and two in SA and QLD) we could find and they do the best job at the best price.

Extensive in SA is also very good but they tend to only repair the easy ones (to near perfect mind you). Mortons are happier to take on the total loss damages :blink:

Jacked it up last night, and spun the wheel, looks like its only out by about two mm...Will a wheel balance fix that? Would it be natural for mags to eventually fall out by this much, or are they that strong they shouldn't bend?

    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto 
    • Please let me know if anyone has seen my black Nissan Skyline 350GT-8 taken from Robe Terrace, Medindie, SA suspect taken between end of March to early April 2025! Have called impound yards & tow truck operators, no where to be found while I was away overseas! Plates DXPRS1 custom dark green on yellow back. Has a rear lip boot spoiler on the back as well.
