I second Chris as well. Yes he' still there and I've used him before. He's even got a write up in the current issue of HPI, go have a read. Depending on the damage repair work starts at around $40 per rim.  He has the ability to bring your wheels up to brand new condition...if I had Nismo's I'd definately spend the $$.

3rd... I was at Chris's place today.

Good service!! and I was very happy with the price.

and he didn't know I had a skyline :unsure:

My wheels were gutter damaged when I got my car. A few nasty chips on the outer edge and a line through one of the spokes. Anyway I got them powder coated at the place in Sumner Park. They fixed all the damage and coated them all for about $200. That was about a year ago and I have had no problems and they are easy to clean.

My rims were painted in 2 pack when they were on my old car, and now they are powdercoated. The powdercoating is wearing better than the 2 pack. With the 2 pack the rear rims got alot of stone chips on them, but not with the powdercoat. Powdercoating is also a much quicker process, and cost me less. The only reason I would go 2 pack is if you wanted a colour that does not come in powdercoat.

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
