Hey guys, tryed looking for the topic in the SA section with the powder coaters but cant seem to find it anymore, does anyone know any good Cheapish power coaters in adelaide? im on a budget at the moment so ill be spending around 150-200ish maxs.

Marshall Powder Coaters

16 Wingfield Rd, Wingfield, SA 5013

p: (08) 83471241 f: (08) 83474214

in fact, a basic google search gives you the info your after. youll just have to ring around for quotes!

AAA Powdercoaters in Losdale - haven't used them yet, BUT they do their own blasting and coating, whereas many will outsource the blasting making it more expensive. Have been quoted $40 per rim blast & coat :whistling:

these guys are the guys to see tho:

Edwardstown Powdercoating

very professional, great work, and the cheapest when i called around. the guys down there have a few imports for themselves, last i checked i think one had a S7 RX7 and the other a 34 GTR if i remember right. good bunch of blokes, the sandblaster guys they were using for my wheels f**ked up, but instead of the powdercoaters wiping their hands clean they went out of pocket and made sure i went away happy, even though it wasnt even the powdercoaters fault they went missing.

i have reccomended quite a few people to these people and they have always walked away happy with the results, and extremely happy with the price.

maybe not a great example as these were dirty at the time but heres my GT-P's i got done black:

here's the GTR wheels done white:

Can't recommend Les Thompson enough!! Had 2 sets of wheels recently sandblasted and powdercoated (centre's only) and I was charged $25 per wheel...I had to ask again as I thought I mis heard the price. Extremel happy with the end result and customer service, wheels were also finished in less then 1 week.

Les Thompson : 0412795818 or : 83511133

33 Kent Rd, Keswick (near busfrieght)

**both sets of wheels will be for sale shortly aswell.

Is that price just to blast and coat centres? Reason I ask is if it would surely be different for a complete rim as the surface area would easily double if you're coating the inner of the rim, not just centre spokes.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • 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
