i personally sell thousands of dollars a month to advance alloys, and we get any rims that are damaged fixed there and they are one of the best in the buisness, i dont know what your talking about mavric but im guessing it may have only been a one off situation. Put almost all of the major panel shops in and around the Morabbinn, brighton bayside area send all there stuff there, so that has to mean somthing.

i would rekomend them day in and day out

just put your stockies on for a couple of days and give em to you

When you go down there tell them Jarrod from Robert Lanes sent you down there and they should help you out

Thank you very much for the contact guys.

I am the one in need of some repairs :thumbsup:

A friend of mine managed to ride my car on a gutter and it snapped off a strip of the wheel lip.

I will be sure to give these guys a call tomorow.

Did you try and take your car up a kerb thinking you were still on the pushy? :thumbsup:

Funnily enough the friend that was driving my car was the guy who actually taught me how to drive and how to drive manual in the first place.

He was driving my car and i was driving his car, its a Ford Telstar TX5 Ghia, there were 3 of us going from Chapel St back down Princess Hwy and under the bridge where the S-Bend is. Car was in the inside lane going down and the outside lane coming out of the corner. While i was 2 lanes across and another friend was in the middle lane.

As far as i could see, he pushed a lil too hard coming out of the corner, understeered and rode up on the gutter where a chunk of the rim snapped off and the car looked like it just copped a flat tyre...

We instantly pulled over and put that gay space spaver on to be able to get home. :)

I had to buy some cheapo 17' for $400 to keep me going until i could afford to buy some new rims or find a place to fix the damaged one.

Hopefully this place will be able to repair my wheel.

hey i noticed the odd wheel on your car

the factory colour you have is nice as, not common but nice its like a dark blue

do you know who owns the silver evo 9 at moorabbin ?

Thx Paul.

Yeah i like the colour aswell, i think its called midnight blue.

Ill post up a pick of the broken wheel tomorow once i take a pic tonight.

The EVO was just bought 2 weeks by a guy in retention called Wai.

He gave me a ride in it the other day. Quick AS! Really nice car. He has already ordered an Apexi pod for it and will be buying an Apexi exhaust aswell very soon.

ohh i get ya mavric, thats ok then, i though you were having a go at the work quality.

i wouldnt want a staff member telling me to rip it up either unless i was a close mate with them even then on the street i wouldnt do it :laugh:

I would always suggest leaving just a rim or rims there anyways cause then you can put a temp on im sure people on here would leand you some stockies for a week, that way you can keep your car on the roads. rims arnt worth keeping a car off the road.

Thanks for clearing that up, i misunderstood what you were saying.

hey paul

i got my GTC's repaired at a place near heidelberg - i'll find the name and address and get them for you tmrw. they were good and quick - repaired the gutter rash on the polished lip.

if your rim needs sandblasting and repainting i'm not sure if they can do that - but if its just steel/alloy sorta stuff they will do a good job

only took them one day too

will post up the info tmrw for you

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!

      Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
