Hi! I got some White CR Kai's that are getting out of control to clean.

Thinking of getting the painted professionally.

Only 1 rims got very minor gutter rash and the others just has paint chip near the wheel nut holes

Anyone know any good place on the westside near Keilor?

I got quoted at a panel beater $120 per rim, ( Take off/on tyre, Repaired, painted and balanced)

Is that a good price?

I was thinking of powder coating but i heard that if it starts to crack, its really cracks plus i have to get the tyre on and off plus they only paint not repair my rim too.

Any suggestions?

Bring it to Steve's Wheels in Berkshire Road in Sunshine. Ask for Zoran or Igore. Tell him Kevin with the R33 GTR sent you. They'll help you out. Great prices and service.

I went there today, they are alot dearer!

Charging close to $200 more than the panel beater.

Any other Powerdercoat places that repair rims?

Definitely go black rims...without the red stuff... just all black.

Really - and you said I sent you and they still gave you that price? Damn...

Try also Advanced Wheel Repairs in Richmond or Ajax wheels in the Eastern Suburbs. Give them a shot.

Good luck mate.

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
