Hi All,

Think ive asked this question previously however i will ask again. I have a bit of a problem with two of my rims, they are apparently buckeld :D after i had a run in with a gutter when my car decided to understeer. I have been told it may be possible to fix them and i was wondering what the name of the place in qeanbeyan was that might be able to help me. I think you guys said it was The Wheel Factory, this right? Anyone done anything similiar and have an idea of what prices for such a repair might be?

Cheers

Laine

Hi Nissan gtr35,

Yeah it is the wheel factory, I got one of my rims fixed a couple of months ago... they re-rolled it(think that's what it's called) and also polished the dish. It looks awesome now.. it was around $190ish but my mag was fairly damaged.

Im going back on monday to get the rest my mags polished and gutter marks removed.. :)

guys my rims have pretty bad gutter rash, most have been on there since i bought the car but one was the result of a neighbours friend pretty much running me off the road while doing a burnout down my street, just wondering approximate time it would take for these guys to fix this? and approx cost.

thanks

hard to say adam, gutter rash shouldnt be to long as they only cut and polish the edge of the rim, as for straightening rims, it cost me $600 but my rims were completely bent all of them, but ot polish rash should be cheap. give them a call

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
