Just had a set of R34 GTR rims repaired which included repairing gutter rash (on the lip and the spoke which is a pain) and respraying. I think matching the colour of this rim is quite a difficult thing to do, but this repairer, through trial and error, has the paint code and it is a near perfect match.

Might save others a fair bit of time and hassle.

They are:

Matt Coleman

Wheel Solutions

Off Church St Richmond

0412 553455

I've used them twice and both times great results, and I have no interest in this other than to be helpful.

Yes yes, what did it cost???

I have a set of 18" Te37's that need repairs.

I reckon give the guy a call and get a quote as your situation could be quite different to mine. Are they painted or anodised?

i'm thinking of getting my R34 GTT wheels done - how long does it take? and ball park cost cause I got gutter rash on two wheels. Did you have to balance your wheels afterward?

Best to call Matt at Wheel Solutions Richmond and ask him directly. He'll fit tyres and balance etc.

I just dropped off my set of Volk LMGT Nismo rims. One is so damaged no other place would even look at it - Matt is really cool and agreed to have a look at it. I got my fingers crossed he will com through with the goods.

I just saw your wheel :) your right about it being quite damaged.

I just had my new wheels put on my GTR.

Matt and his boys do a sensational job. They're knowledge in wheels and fitments is second to none.

Yeah, Matt is a top bloke...mate, I love my wheel so much, I hope he can fix it...he said he's started on it and there's some hope....

I think if he can't fix it, then no one can. I got my fingers crossed.

did he fix it!?

Still waiting...the thing is, my LMTG4's are limited edition Nismo spec ones. There was only like 200 made, so it's going to be really hard getting another wheel so I am all in hope now.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
