Not sure if i put this in the right spot, but yeah..

One of My lenso Rims has a crack in it.. its about 2cm long, right on the ridge next to the tyre on the side that faces the car.. ie the side you dont see

I'm not driving on it at the moment, but was wondering if it would still be safe to do so, or if its possible to get it fixed.. If anyone knows any good places in Sydney to fix it, let me know!

Thanks!

you can get it repaired for anywhere from $50-$100. expect around $80. tempe tyres does it, but they jerked me around a bit last time. i'm sure most tyre shops either do it, or know where to send it.

Personally I wouldn't goto a tyre or wheel shop I would go directly to the source, "A Wheel Repairer", the tyre shop will only send it to someone else and charge you more for it.

I had a whole set of rims fixed for $200 all gutter rash and any chips welded up...

and again another rim that was cracked I took to him and after he had a go at repairing it, he showed me where someone previous had a go at alloy welding it and heated it too much which in turn made the metal brittle and unrepairable (due to shrinking and expanding metal), since he couldn't fix it, he didn't charge me, what a nice guy, now I'll take all my wheel repairs to him, not that I expect to see more.

I bent a TE37 in a major way, and quite a few places I took it to say it was unrepairable.

Neale Wheels in South Strathfield repaired it. As 75 Coupe says, a lot of tyre shops who "repair" it just send it somewhere else. Neale Wheels actually do the repairs.

That's good to know ^^^

I've bought bits and pieces from them before; but never had to repair a wheel - yet.

Good to keep me in the loop.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      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.
