a business owner would get a lot of customers in 4 weeks. sometimes its hard to remember someone you served 2 hours ago let alone a month ago.

why dont you go in and see him and show him the rims? that might jog his memory. maybe you are not talking to the same guy who did the work for you? its possible an offsider did the work without letting the business owner know. Everyone makes mistakes.

i am looking at his business card rite now. it says MANAGER....

he gave it to me and his name is written on the card, tat was how he introduce himself to me when i first saw him. (a nice and friendly guy - i admit) but today when i told him my problem about the rims he was different.

even the reciept says "POWDERCOAT 4x rims Matt black. $50 each total at the bottom = $200.

so wat should i do rite now..... :dry:

*** i did not say this part to him... it was on top of my mind - tat i have a job to go to.

If your telephone skills are as bad as your posts I would've slammed down the phone too.

If you spoke to the same "owner" both times he would remember you and the job he did.

which part of my post tat u think i deserve to be slammed down??? if tis happen to u, will u just say -lets forget about it?? i know AUSD200 is not alot but i don mind if he didnt powdercoat the rims, at least give it a good even spray. do a proper job.

He did remember me. he told me tat was like 4 weeks ago, y didnt u bring it in earlier. theres where the (i do have a job moment) came up!

bloody hell

look - where not trying to slam you at all, but if you want to get an issue resolved, go in with the item(s) in question and see them personally

it always works better that way

go in with one or two of the rims - or all if you want

explain the story how you wanted them powdercoated - and thats what got done

say that when you got to get tyres on em, the tyre place said that it looked like they had been spray-painted

ask him how powder coating is exactly done and show him the rims and ask him if it looks like its been spray-painted or powder coated

my bet is that they powder coated it, but just the face - cause really, who is going to look INSIDE the rim anyway??? (only the tyre guys will)

Oh I see. Communication error. When you said "he said he doesnt spray paint rims" it came across as him saying he didnt spray rims all together including powder coating.

Ok. Well just go in and see him and show him the problem. He might be nicer in person.

Did you get a receipt for the work?

Mate, I think we all agree that the job is sh!tty and yes I would definate complain also.

But given that 4 weeks (?) or so has passed you cannot expect the guys at the shop to drop everything and attend to your problems.

Bring them in with the receipt point out the problems - try to remain calm and rational and I'm sure they will help you out.

The outside section near the centre is clearly bad workmanship. As for the inside, if you are not happy with the inside of the rim not painted, then specify you WANT these bits done also. If you want things done on the cheap ($200 is on the cheap side), then it's perfectly legit to not spray these bits as no one will see it anyway and it has no impact on the durability of the outside.

just my 2c worth

if u brought ur rims to be powdercoated, u expect them to be powdercoated. but if it was suppose to be powder coated n it comes out to be sprayed, what would u do?? at least do a good job. tats all i am asking.

Thanks to all for the advice ppl!!

which part of my post tat u think i deserve to be slammed down???

"tat" part exactly. Jesus. :thumbsup:

but if it was suppose to be powder coated n it comes out to be sprayed,

Are you a powder coater? Are the tyre shop guys powder coaters? NO. They're merely giving an opinion, so for all you know (also, NOT being a powder coater) it may well be genuine powder coated, just an average job.

Telling the manager that "he didnt powder coat your wheels" won't help.

Accurate communication during dispute resolution can only do good.

Good luck with your issue, let us know how it all pans out for you.

To me it looks powder coated . . you can tell by the way its kinda blobbed on, spray paint would be alot more fine.

So im guessing its just a shitty light coat, or maybe the rims didnt get hot enough to allow the powder to stick . . .

Id just take to worst rim in and show him the recipt and the rim and see what he can do about it

Stop complaining, stop posting.

Take your rims in, with your receipt and talk, calmly and slowly with the guy. All you need to do is show him the poor work around the centre of the rims and say that it's not up to scratch and ask politely for it to be redone properly.

Looks like powder coating to be, just doesn't look very well done.

Do you speak how you type mate? no offence - but i wouldnt have had much time for you either.

+1 for take your receipt in, with your wheels. Whether its been a month or not doesnt matter. They cant give a $200 job one month warranty. Apologise for any dramas, say that you appreciate the fac tthat he did it on the cheap for you, but request that he does it to a standard that HE would be happy with on his car.

And if he says he would be happy with them on his car, get matt black spraypaint and paint the f#$%ers rims.

SOUTH SIDE POWDERCOATING did mine for 150 all 4

Honsetly if they DId them to mine i would bring them back and let him no and if he gets smart say!

i will go to the motor and trade accs and advise them what happend!!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
