Hey all,

was down at commercial polishers and they quoted me $800 to polish all four rims..

I have works meister s2r, they are deep dish..

Do you think that is worth it?

he also said just to clean and dip in acid, would be $140..

I need to clean my rims.. brake dust and melted rubber are all over them.. :D

maybe try Elite plating... they *MIGHT* do polishing seperately as well. They did a lotta polishing for my dad's classic he was restoring, but he also gave them a lot of chroming business so unsure.

Try em anyway. :D

I had a set of Magnums polished by this guy for $50, but that was like ten years ago!

Yeah that sure sounds a bit rediculous. Try this mob

EXTENSIVE WHEEL SERVICES

307 South Rd Mile End 5031 (08) 8352 5777

I had both my front rims scraped & it cost $88 each to get them both polished back, though they're not a deep dish. I wouldn't think it'd cost a hell of a lot more to do yours, give them a go. They did a great job, would never know they were ever near a kerb.

Also try Adelaide Wheel & Rim just accross the road from them. I had 1 of mine fixed under insurance & extensive was the place they sent me to. So I don't know what these guys are like.

Yeah thanks every one for their input.. I'll do a bit more shopping around..

It's not that DIY option is beyond me..just that I don't think it'd give me the same outcome..

I saw the polish the guy did and it virtually looked chrome..

So I wonder if these other places do the same..

This time I'll prolli chuck the rims on the back of a ute and bring them in..haha.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
