hey all, i've got some new second_hand rims and they have met with the gutter a few times - got some nice rash on the outer edge. just wanting to know if anyone knows of a place in melbourne that can do wheel repairs, and how much?? pref in nothern subs.

the wheels have a polished metal dish on the outer, that looks to have a clear coat over it. no painting would be required other than that. and they're not bent, just scraped. thanks in advance.

There is a place in moorabbin I've been to for an old school centreline wheel repair. Its called something like AJAX rims or something. look em up. They specialise in steel rim repairs. The old guy I dealt with was very helpful coz I wasn't sure what needed to be done. Wasn't close to me but was the only place I could find that could do the job. (steel)

Do you know if it is alloy or steel? That will determine the repairer you go to.

There's plenty of alloy wheel repairers around. Good luck.

yeah Ajax, near where IKEA use to be

the wheels are work ryver's, they're two piece and i'm pretty sure they're alloy. if the outer rim was painted then it would be a simple sand/fill/spray job - but cos they're polished i think thats a job for the pro's.

does this ajax joint deal with alloy's?? i don't think a steel wheel place will be much use - they're not bent, just guttered.

AJAX would be no good for alloy. Plenty of them around that specialise in alloy repairs. one in moorabin that I went to first. not sure of the name.

Yeah I should've known they wouldn't be steel. It'd be sin to put heavy steel wheels on a skyline.

Try Coburg Mag Wheels. 93544641. Worked for me.

cheers fellas, got a few numbers to keep me busy. i'll get some pics and quotes and post them up to give ya'll an idea what you'd be dealing with if it is unfortunate enough to happen to you.

TIP: if u upgrade from 6" wheels to 9" wheels with similar offset, they're going to stick out a fair bit more - so remember that next time u turn past a gutter :P

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
