Hi guys,

I got some gutter rash as you do and want to get it fixed up. I checked the forums and the only thing related to this question was in 2004 so i thought it would be a good idea for some updated information. This is what i have found out so far and any further input is extremely welcomed.

United Wheel Techs... they are a mobile wheel repairer but they are expensive wanted to charge $180-$200 per wheel.

Custom Wheel Repairs

16 Ferry Road Lansvale NSW 2166

Ph: 02 9788 7229

Mob: 0413 528 370

Guy named peter and he seems honest on the phone but not mobile. Said around $100 per wheel depending on how bad , but needs the wheels for a few days.

Is there any where else in sydney to go too ?

Hi manda23

peter @ lansavale has fixed ALL my rims in the past and he does by far the best job, and even fixes rims which other places refuse to touch

he has fixed buckles, gutter rash, and also repsrayed my rims for me. he does a top job and a very fair price.

go see him. you wont regret it.

Just been to Tempe. They discovered a cracked rim - $100 to fix. Problem was only that it cracked in the place where it cracked before and my Saturday got ruined by a huge bill or replacing the rim and the tyre (tyre had a gash big enough to see the inside casing).

Peter at custom wheels is fixing mine on tuesday, I will take some before and after pictures for you's and let you know how much he is charging me . He seems really honest and confident in his work.

The mobile guys came around and said we cant fix it because its a chrome wheel , so yeh .

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
