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

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
