Anyone know who does a good wheel repair in Sydney? I need to take a few gutter scratches out, plus strip back all the paint so I can powdercoat them (at another place I already have lined up). Balancing them would also be good.

I had one guy look at my wheels when my car was getting repaired, but he refused to do them because they are 2 piece wheels and he said he wouldn't be able to get the paint into the deep grooves where the spokes meet the rim. But I spoke with my powdercoating guy and he said deep grooves are not a problem for the powdercoating. I just need someone who can strip back the old paint.

Hi JimX,

I had two wheels repaired by a guy in pioneer ave, Thornleigh.

Sorry, can't recall the name of the business - He's right next door to the infamous 'George' the wrecker !! Did a good job at a fair price.

Hope this helps.

Magman 2/21 Moxon rd Punchbowl 97092686

he is about 80-150 per wheel which includes colour or polish, cost depends on damage & he has 4 wheels for 5 working days.

i will not recommend his work because when you do that something always go wrong, but he always has wheels there he's done to look at for examples.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
