indeed

been reading that oven cleaner works, but it also eats away teh metal or someshit

also heard this in a forum thread on polishing motorbike frames . obviously the cleaner is caustic, but if you remove it fast enough it should still work,

what are you doing to them afterwards?

yeah i'll give the oven cleaner a try

the lips on my rims are red burgundy atm. i wanna get rid of the color and get em polished up.

asked a couple wheel polishing places and both said they wont do it coz rims are 1 piece and their buffing machiness wont fit in the tight spaces beteen the lip n the spokes...

Edited by R-SPEC

then your gonna have to do it yourself with small buffing wheels on a drill or something - nasty :(

this forum should help

from this thread in fabrication section

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Al...ng-t177231.html

without a pic of the wheels, perhaps the sand and scotch brite combination flapper wheels will help sand and polish the lip.

most tool shops should ahve them, and can be used on a drill or preferably on a die grinder

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
