Hey mate,

Adelaide Wheel and Rim. 308-310 south rd richmond. 83526266.

Need to get the rim off the car and the tyre stripped.

Drop it to them, generally a 2 day wait.

Id guestimate about $170

Used them a few times, highly recommend them.

hey Chef, i sanded the marks outta mine with 80 grit paper, 340 wet, 600 wet, 800 wet, then working my way down to 1200 grit sandpaper and polishing the metal. takes awhile but works. also if u know someone with a lathe, u can machine the marks out

Sam that'll work fine for polished alloy (I even have a bench buff for that extra final touch) but won't work with chrome unfortunately.......if it is chrome, it'll just peel.

if adelaide wheel and rim cant fix it for you mate

then i would say try extensive wheel services a go....they are directly opposite adelaide wheel and rim services.

i have dealt with them a couple of times and they are a top bunch over there and know what they are doing

    • Tried some stainless allen head bolts I had laying around, they stuck out like dog balls, so I went to Bunnings and got some black coated jobbies, which I like alot more.....basically OEM....LOL I'll RTV it up this week sometime ready for MX5 Mania to do their thing
    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
