hi everyone, I m new to the forum and hope can get some help.

I m planning to take my wheels to sand blast as well as powder coat. but the problem is I need to seperate the tyres and wheel first. In my knowledge only the machine can do the job. Shall I ask a workshop to do so? and my car will stay with the wheel shop and I can get the wheels done @ the other workshop that do powder coat.

I m not too sure if there is a 1 stop workshop can process all at once.

Sorry about my English :rofl:

Cheers

Any tyre shop will be able to take the tyres off the rims no problems, but I doubt they'll be happy to have your car sitting around on stands whilst you get them powder-coated.

Your best bet would be to place the car on stands at home, then take the tyres/rims to the tyre place, have them removed the tyres, take the rims to get coated, then return to the tyre shop to have the tyres put back on, and put the rims back on your car.

Hi there, you should give your chosen powder-coater a call, last time I got some wheels done I dropped vehicle off at p-c's (some place in Osborne Park, Guthrie street I think) & picked up a couple of days later. All done, just sign here.

Can't hurt to ring round a few places...................

Cheers GW

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
