Hiyas all, just got me a set of R34 GTT rims from SAU-member Satanic.

I havent received these rims as yet, but I know 1 rim only will need a repair to a gutter mark / scratch.

Who would you recommend to repair & make good to a genuine Nissan mag wheel? I live south if thats any help for ppl's suggestions.

:D Tangles

Brendan you can go to Extensive Wheels on South Road(right hand side before Sir Donald Bradman Dve), but have heard they are a little pricey...........So i suggest going over the road from them to a the other place(can't remember the name) I think there might have been someone else wanting the same service before..........It might have both thier details in another topic!

Cheers, yeah I thought so, did a quick search (here at work, I shouldnt be on the forums atm!) and didnt come up with the details. Sorry to ppls if this is a 'repost topic' as such.

Ive also heard on the grapevine that Bridgestone at Oaklands park is pretty good..... will have to chase that up and grab some quotes.

I can post a pic of the rim in question, and the quotes that I received, to help out others in the future.

Moderator can delete if they like, yes this is a repost, going back to satrd of December 2005 there was a thread titled Rim Repairs:

"Adelaide wheel and rim & Extensive wheels.

Both are on sth rd just sth of sir donald bradman dr,both close together on opp sides of the road,make sure u get quotes first- there will be a difference!"

"I had mine done at extensive and they fixed up some minor guttering and scratches and now look like new. About $150 a rim i think, I recommend their work for sure."

"yeah had mine done at adelaide wheel and rim when i hit a gutter and bent the inside edge. the guys from extensive said it was beyond repair so took it across the road and got it re-rolled for $120. did a great job too. it was a small price to pay compared to getting another volk.?"

"i used to get a lot of rims reparied when i raced speedway adelaide wheel and rim ripped my off bigtime and the guy across the road at EXPENSIVE not EXTENSIVE was just as bad found a guy at brompton called miracorp was cheaps as chips did a great job dont know if he is still around tho"

When I bent the inside lip of my rim when I hit a curb, took it to Extensive and the guy said it was beyond repair, took it across the road to Adelaide Rim and Wheel works and they re-rolled it for $150, small price to pay compared to $1200 to replace the rim!! (damn volk racing wheels). Did a great job too!! Dunno if the guy an Extensive was too busy or whatever but i heard they do good work too! They are both on South Road at Mile End.

Well, had one rim fixed at Ext(p)ensive wheel services last week.... it was fairly heavily damaged, was $200 for a full fix up job and repaint all over. Expensive, but looks brand new now.

They quoted $165 to fix a slight scratch on one rim, what a joke...... I chatted to them about it & now $70 is the price..... wonder if thats because Adelaide Wheel & Rim services across the road are offering 1/2 price services at the moment??

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
