RS4-S

Hey mate, just double check they are a true 2/3 piece rim first. Then check if the dish section is chrome (doubt it if they are real 2 piece), stainless or polished alloy. Alloy would be the easiest to repair IMO. My boss used to part own 'the wheel factory' and when they closed they still did alot of wheel repairs outta jax fyshwick. He has since sold most of the equipment and only has a large lathe left for en-larging centre bore holes. Wicked wheels I have seen repair a BMW alloy in the flesh, had a deep section of gutter rash which was filled with a special bog/filler, filed back and the whole rim resprayed, all in the back of a van. Have heard good and bad but that's the same with any business There is also I newish bloke called MAG! Wheel repairs, he welds cracked rims and flat spots, not sure what else he does or if he can help u out, his in fyshwick. If you pull apart the rims any panel shop can blast and spray your centres. Most wheel repairs are expensive and cost as much as the cost of a new rim, if the wheels are no longer available or are custom made then that's when u need these peoples services. Maybe if it's just the one with rash it might be worth looking for a 5th wheel. Maybe check eBay or post a pic with brand, size, width, offset , pcd etc and I can see if they are still available?

That's where I work, you have you car in with us?

Yeh weren't sure if you were on here and then I opened this thread and see a big pic of ya car haha. Nah it's stock as neo with hsd coilovers and 12/10 spring rates. It needs some upgrades but im into building minitrucks so it eats up money first.

Working the entire time minus public holidays Foreveralone.jpg

Haha yeh I know, I did the alignment Haha. Yeh that's my stag, hasn't got any love for awhile, not even a wash. I did like your steering wheel though.

Spotted sweefu at jax fyshwick

spotted a red r33 with LED tails and FMIC on the way to work in fyshwick this morning, both gave a stab and boy does that thing have a misfire or 3 under boost, jesus!

^^wtf? solid shifter makes it harder to shift??? pfft. the nismo solid shifter is 7.5mm shorter than standard (faark all) and the solid part is refering to NOT being a 2 piece shaft with a rubber dampener in the guts of it. aka one piece of SOLID metal shifter the short/quick shifter changes the pivot point so you have LESS leverage and LESS distance for the shifter to travel, hence more force needed to make it shift. its all about user preference really, some of us dont like burying our hand in the back seat changing into 2nd.

hey mate what car you got and what engine is in it?

its not that bad mate, mines worse yeh qualifed mechanic spotted new rear treads on mine this arvo

kid i used to work with bought a GTS1 white with the white wheels, needed some loving and he said he paid 6k?

thats me, i work there as of yesterday. you own the 32 GTR?

you'll find most nissans have weird paint all over the bolts, stuff knows what it means but apparently on evoX's they have paint over suspension stuff and other bolts but they are marked in suck a way that when you undo the bolt the paint is cracked and the marks dont line up, its so they can void your warranty if its been "toy'd" with

remove your head light and the bulbs and leave in the sun or LIGHTLY use a heat gun or hair drier itll all the moisture is gone, then use some clear silicon around the edge where the lense is glued to the housing and make sure all the grommets and rubber seals around the bulbs are there when you re-install it.

thermo fan is for aircon only AFAIK. the viscious hub fan does the rest

im pretty sure standard stuff the skylines spring and upper mount are too big becuase stagea gear is narrowed for bigger cargo space. given that most coilovers are more compact than standard gear i would say they would physically bolt up (if you got the whole eyelet fork thing sorted)

looks awesome mate

Lee and Thomas is just like any other auto electrician. that $80 will get you about 30mins labour, if you do take it there say spend your 30mins looking at it and if you cant sort it in that time (they do know their shit) then dont bother, otherwise you'll have a hefty bill.

hey mate if its transfering from interstate from private sale and LESS than 10 years old it needs a rego check AND an ID check at dickson. given that its a 97 model then its older than 10 years so it just needs a run of the mill road worthy cert. Im an ACT inspector so if you want a rego check PM me. cheers

just spotted a metric shit load of skylines etc at RJ's food caravan tonight at 10pm, was just getting my groceries and pow there they were, i woulda pulled in but i had frozen stuff in the car sorry if anyone waved etc cos i wasnt wearing my glasses and have terrible night vision

hahaha these are gold my story is the day after i put the coilovers in my stag i pulled out of autobarn in fysh and started driving towards hungry jacks and a skyblue VT/VX commmmiiiee wagon came screaming up behind me so i put my foot down abit into the first round about and he was on my ass the whole time so i shifted down to 2nd and gave it a big hit up to the next round about with him trying to keep up. i took the roundabout like a slot car and he tried to drive the same speed and line though it and bounced his car off the roundabout and the right hand rear actually left the ground and then he got crossed up and hit the gutter, then pulled over and put the hazards on HAHAHAHA there was 2 lanes so he could have easily gone past me, but in the end he bought a knife to a gun fight

buy some of that dimpled foil looking exhaust gasket stuff. cut a flange shape out to suit your exhaust flange then dont cut the inner hole out, just drill 3 8mm holes in the middle and baby it to and from the inspection. i did it to a vx r8 clubsport and it knocked off 12db for a dickson inspection
