wet + fast corner + slight curb = busted wheel and luckily no damage to control arms or nothing.

but one of my blitz rims has been cracked on the the inside and slightly lipped, looking to get it repaired somehow, coz it feels unsafe to drive with it while its cracked. plus, the tyre now only holds a constant 9psi. :D hehehe... and they were perfectly good falken ziex 235's with like 90% tread.

but yeh, any one had any experience with places that can repair damage to a cracked or damaged rim. place with good prices and quality. coz its a shame to have a decent pair of rims just sitting in the garage.

cheers,

- dan.

hey dan have you had an odd set of rims on your car - ie. different fronts and rears? Isn't that illegal? Any tyre shop should be able to put you onto a wheel repairer - i know that "The Mag Wheel Shop" in Richmond (i think) does repairs, but may be pricy cos they do BBS, Simmons, Kahn rims

dont like your chances, i got ****ed around whilst trying to re-polish) my rims up.. went to over 30 shops an they all said no.... try advanced alloy wheels in cheltenham they seemed the best at that 'fixing' stuff... coz mine just needed restoring of its shine and cleaning etc. which im in the progress of doing myself with a paintbursh and a tooth brush :D but i have to admit they are coming up absolutely sickness!

nah haven't found a place yet... still searching, i have the options of:

get the wheel repaired (hopefully under 100)

or, buying another of the same wheel + another snapped one, both for 100. (which is a pretty good price)

trying to decide. repair or buy another and a half. ?

but still haven't found a place that will repair yet. i was over at ice today talking to the guys and they told me a place that was good, but i forgot where it was or the name of the place... grrr

the wheels are 8.5" wide, x16" diameter, any one got any idea of the maximum tyre width i can chuck onto it?

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
