If respray doesnt bother you, get it black, see if your like it, if not respray it back to white ;)

well...I say it doesn't bother me an it doesnt cost that much.....but still not something i want to do from week to week....aint that cheap....hehe :D. Once a year to keep the car looking decent is enough.

when I had mine done originally a few years back it cost me $60 per rim including sandblasting, I took the rims in to them in the morning and picked them up that same afternoon. Coating places wont do the work for you, there not mechanics and dont have tyre machines, so you'll need to organise taking them off your car, getting the tyres stripped off at your local tyre shop as well as removing the valves an any wheel weights, then take the rims to them as bare rims.

Hope thats of some help. Cheers

Yep sure did, cos i want my rims resprayed, so now i know they have to be butt naked.

NismoR32 (who's R32 took out best R32 in the SAU VIC show n shine) had a factory black lip on his white GTR. It look teh hotness.

plus its easy to fix with some bumper black when you run shit over.

my rims are all naked an being sandblasted tomorrow, powdercoated tues/wed, an should be picking them up thursday arvo. Just in time to get tyres fitted an have them back on my car friday ready for the drag day Saturday...;)

so i'll have black rims for first half of the day, then i'll crack out my MT drag radials that are on my hot pink AVS 16" rims on the rear of my car for the second half...lol

Let me know how much it set ya back all up sandblast and powdercoat..

thanks mate..

Wayne: What I'm paying isnt what it'd cost....as I'm getting it done through a freind of a friend sorta situation that will be doing it afterhours. I'd assume it's cost about $200-$250 to get 4 rims done, the coating costs about $100 for 4 rims, uncertain about sandblasting costs though.

thanks for the pic JNR747. I dont mind the look of the black lip, but still leaning more towards sticking with white. It's being done in a weeks time so best I make my mind up quick smart.

thanks for all the respose so far guys, always appretiated

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
