hi again, got some pretty nasty gutter rash and was wondering if anyone can recommend some honest wheel reconditioners in brisbane...

I got a quote from Depulu Wheels on the Gold Coast on they quoted $297 PER TYRE!!!! without even looking at it. This includes the couriers dropping off/picking up wheels...I suspected to pay a bit extra due to the factory shadow chrome but $300....is too much.

Suggestions of some honest places to call? Maybe you know someone? your brother does it? :thumbsup:

Ask for Chris and tell him Jonathan with the V35 sent you. Best way for a quote is to drive to him and let him have a look first hand. And yes, price goes up due to the shadow chrome as they need to repaint the whole wheel but it should't be anymore than $200 per wheel depending on the seriousness of the rash. Chris has been in the business of wheel repairing for years and does good work.

You're a legend - so you've had some work done by chris on your wheels before? do you mind if i ask how much it cost you?

Yes, plenty of wheels done there before. Mostly machining the gutter rash of the lips approx $80, no painting required. I did have one wheel repainted in factory nissan silver and rash machined off for just over $100.

You drop the wheel off to him and it takes roughly a week or so depending on what needs to be done. If it needs to be repainted he sends its off elsewhere, but all machining gets done on site. If he has to remove the tires of the wheel that adds to the cost as well.

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
