Hey everyone,

Well my brother hit the flat part of a gutter with one of his volks and bent the lip of the wheel in a bit and the usual gutter rash crap.

Anyways been searching all day and all the other shops in old threads have closed. (except for that one in thornleigh, which is a last resort)

One shop wants to charge $350 to repair it alone, I told him to F*** off.

I dont want to get the wheel sprayed just repaired. I will get it powdercoated later myself.

If anyone can tell me somewhere to go it will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

David

haven't used them but got some rough quotes with excellent prices and have heard nothing but excellent reviews. Only thing is that you need to take the tyre off and just drop off the rim/s. They do a lot of rims/wheels but they do all type of repairs and are not a wheel place.

Think they're still there. Got a quote a couple months ago for all 4 to fix gutter rash and powdercoat any colour for around 800. think its a good price but havent shopped around.

Didnt end up getting it done due to no money :D lol

They fixed my old TE37 when I bent it hard. I can't remember how much he charged, but considering a few places said it was unrepairable it was still better value than buying a new wheel.

Hey mate.

I took my buckled wheel to magman punchbowl, it was pretty bad due to a accident.

Got it fixed for $120 only thing was that he couldn't get the inner lip 100% because there was no room for tools to get in.

The wheel was a 3 piece and the centre was too hard to take apart.

Regarless I'm happy with the job

Take it down there and see what he says

yeah magman is pretty cheap .. quoted $200 to fix severe gutter rash on 2 of my wheels. He was quite busy when I went ..like a 2 week wait so I never ended up doing it. Might give him a call soon and book it in.

Does anyone know if cast wheels that have been slightly buckled from hitting a curb can be fixed?? When I had my wheels balanzed by JAX they said one of the wheels couldn't be perfectly balanced with weights due to it but that it wasn't serious.. just that it was always a little unbalanced

I smashed two of my wheels once, the front one looked like pacman after it crunched the gutter.

Both came back like brand new. Couldnt believe they fixed them.

They were 2 piece Volk GTP.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
