Hey every one

the run down is that i got some rims for cheap as the guy selling them didn't have the time to fix them. They are 17 by 8 and 17 by 9 and have buckles in them.

Three out of the four rims are damaged and need to be fixed.. i got a price for them to be fixed through Alliance Rim Repairs which was $130.00 Each however they stated that the original color of the rim cannot be matched and that specific colour is from Japan only.

I dont know about the idea that its only avaible in Japan, so basically my question is does anyone know who i could take these rims to get them painted/powder coated that same color.. a picture off my rims are below.. its a goldy/bronze colour

Also I only gave them my rear rim as the other rear rim had no damage so I thought id let them fix one rim first and see how it goes.. While I wait does anybody know any other places that do a good Job as Alliance does? That I could try out.

If you PM craved he can get you powder coat in any colour you want

That being said, depending on the colour it could be really expensive

I once enquired about getting some millennium jade powercoat

It needed to be mixed as a custom colour there was a minimum amount that needed to be ordered

I was looking at over $1000 and 100kgs of powder or something rediculous when i only needed about 5 kgs of powder for the job i wanted done

In the end its going to be much cheaper and easier to pick another colour and get your rims powdercoated for $30 each

Niran, those are gmax H050 and retail for around $200-220 each, so $130 to get it repaired is a bit steep....thing is alliance has the monopoly on wheel repairs in perth...so they can charge however much they please really.

the rims came anodized and I dont know a place here to electroplate them. you could probably get them powdercoated for a nice finish...or just sprayed a matt bronze. either way you'll have to do all 4 coz u arn't going to get a match to the original

I see, thanks for that i had no idea the rims.. do you reckon it would be easier for me to just buy the front too again brand new, but i don’t know if they even sell them any more? . maybe i will look around some more rim repairers try get a cheaper price on the front two. i think im just going to go matt black if i do end up painting them..

Thanks the both off you, Niran

you might need to shop around if your looking at buying just the rears.

bring them to Summerfield engineering at

6/1731 Albany Highway Kenwick and ask Rob if he's able to do the repairs.

ph: 9459 1078

that another of the only 2 places in perth i kno of that does wheel repairs

Awesome man, I will give them a ring tomorrow and see how it goes.. Basically my rear two are fine now so need to get the front two fixed.

Cheers dude,

Hey guys..

What color do you reckon i should powder coat the rims.. i was thinking matt black or a satin black.

I’ve uploaded a photo of my car as i don’t know if powder coating the rims that color would suit my car..What do you guys think?

If not what color you guys think would suit best?

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
