Got some damage on my Rays Volk Formula 17's, gutter rash on 3 wheels.

Does anybody know a professional "wheel beater" or someone who knows how to fix these in Melbourne? I'm also missing one of the golden caps and one of the rings around the golden cap, also seeking those 2 items.

Or does anybody have a set of these wheels they are selling?

Here is a pic:

PM me as well as posting here!!

I had some rims re-rolled at this place.

Ajax Motor Wheels

Cnr Exley Drv & Ewar St, Moorabbin

VIC, 3189

Ph:(03) 9555 7737

They were quick and reasonably priced compared with another one I checked out.

They told me exactly what they were going to do and when they would be ready.

Just a couple of nice old guys running the place, but professional enuf for an old workshop.

I don't think they will fix major gutter rash thou. But they were talking about a welder they got to do some work on that sort of thing, so I would give them a call or pop in with the rim and see what they say. They will be able to point you in the right direction.

Also if it's just minor gutter rash, it's pretty easy to clean that up yourself with a decent small toothed file.

My right rear seems to wobble a bit when in motion...I think it might be the small chunk that the previous owner took out, which causes it to not be perfectly round when spinning, giving the illusion that its wobbling....If its something more serious like a buckled rim, are the places listed in here the kinds of joints I need to be talking to for my rim, or are there other specialists etc for it?

Never mind, I just read the services they offer so if mine is buckled they're who I need to see...

However if anyone knows of any on the west side that'd be better :)

Try these guys

Did a repair on my front rims. Awesome job, but can be a little exxy.

They repaired both the passenger wheels lips on one of my cars and the repair came up better than the factory job on the otherside. Highly recomended.

Can any1 post up some prices of what it cost them to fix their rims?

Also do any of these places also modify rims? Say if i wanted to change my spokes from chrome to shadow chrome or gunmetal?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
