Well, car i bought i got tyres swapped on, one of the rims has a crack in the outter edge does not go to the bead, being on the inside was prob like this when the guy bought the rims, meh, anyway.

Who repairs cracks on a drop off in the morning pick up at close of buisness basis? as i only have tomorrow off of work:

Ajax dont do cracks, Eastern have moved... Who here has had cracks repaired in an alloy wheel?(eg, 33GTR)?

Alternatively if you are a fabricator who can weld it up for me tomorrow, PM me your number.

Thanks

these guys did a spotless job on a wheel of mine, i was very happy with the price and the work they did.

i was able to leave it with them for a few weeks as i had a spare set of wheels to use.

i doubt they will do it for you on the spot, but if you tell them you need it asap they should be able to try and get it done quickly, could you not just use your spare wheel for a few days?

they won't repair crappy wheels, but if it's a factory alloy, or a good quality wheel they "should" be able to help you.

the wheel they repaired for me was an r33gtr wheel,

it had what sounds to be similar damage to yours, it wasn't a problem for them at all, and i can't see where they repaired it.

they did a great job.

the repair was on the inner edge of the wheel...

call them, they will tell you to take it down there.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      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

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      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.
