I had 2 of my 18 x 10" BBS LM rims repaired at Extensive Wheel & Rim Services for $200 per rim although mine had a clear layer on them that cost more. They took a week to fix them.

In regards to getting $ from the council you will need to take photos of the pothole including measurements of its depth, length & width. You should report it to them prior to making a claim as well. Ironically Fifth Gear did a segment on this just last month (s16e05). In the UK they have over 40 million pounds set aside to pay out victims of potholes so you may be in with a chance. Over there the pothole had to be at least 40mm deep. It would be worth enquiring about it.

Nah, no way i'm driving all the way back down there to inspect the 1000s of potholes for the one I hit. Would cost me as much in fuel as it would be to get it fixed.

Anyway, dropped it at wheel works this arvo, should be ready tomorrow and cost me $132. Extensive were busy and could only get it done by friday.

If it ends up needing to be welded it'll be another 3 days and $80 (or something, can't remember) because it will need to be heat treated.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
