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.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
