"normally about $30 per wheel"

but will need to get them blasted first....

97064488 - blast master in dandenong

"$15each for normal rims up to $30 if they are powdered"

so to get it done i'll need to take the wheels down to a wheel and tyre shop and get them to take the tyres off... probably about $50 appx.

plus the sandblasting @ $15 per rim which is a total of $60

plus the powdercoating which is $30 per rim which is a total of $120

so all up looking at about $230 to $260

not too shabby

Sounds so cheap.. i thought it was around $200 per wheel. You could get some pretty nutz colours actually - depending on your theme of your car..

Next car i'm getting i want it to be black.. so might just get the stock wheels gold powder coated. Will give me $ for power upgrades :)

Tyre place should only charge you $20 max to take off the tyres, takes them 10 minutes.

pffft i wanted white rims on my car before i got it... was going to get an R33 white with white rims... but went off the 33 and went for the 32.

i dont even know where u go to get things powdercoated... are they a specialist place? ie. they are a powdercoater in the yellow pages???

I already gave you a link to powder coaters didnt I ? [several]

BTW just cause I only got it done recently doesnt mean the idea was recent - - - think about it - - -

Ever since about 3 or 4 years ago I wanted white wheels even longer, its a shame its so common now [imo]. I dont normally go with the flow...I never did Chrome wheels and dont think I would do Gold wheels either, trends arent for me.

I just do what i like and if some people dont like it fark em!

And yes some peolpe have said they dont like em...pft what do they know :)

yeah well lookin at these 235s on the rear of these 8" rims im guessing it may be an issue cause its damn near flat with the rim of the guard... going to take it down to the wheel ppls and see what they say.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
