they just repired my ssr mk1s which had a fair bit of gutter rash, nowhere as bad as that :rofl:

but yeh they are pretty good and reasonable price, dunno how you will go with that though

best to take it in to them and see what they can do

They deal with BBS 3 peice rims alot...

another option: http://www.advancedalloys.com.au/home/

well my 'advanced' repair peels off just after 3 months... what a rip off...

I'm going to re-repair mine, this time taking it to Neway which cost cheaper than the other place which I thought was more 'advanced'... won't name it here but you get a clue from my quotes....

Craig @ Color Ur Mags gets an awesome rap (he's a bit eccentric though):

What Jules said, i've seen some of the work he has done and its A1

although it might be worth seeing if you can locate a new rim

if it was a three piece wheel i'd say see my sig. it's where i work.

OT, but how much is it approx for a BBS RS style front lips approx 2-3" wide for a 17" rim

just something i was wanting to find out to see what is cheaper, to have some spun or purchase from overseas later on when i decide to rebuild the wheels

I got my SE37K rims repaired and powder coated by Craig about 6 months ago... Very well priced compared to the well known shitty job rip offs around the corner in Moorabbin (refer to rs73's post in this thread)...

If you search my topics you'll find the rims for sale (which are now sold :D) and you'll see the work Craig did.

Cheers,

Andy

How much does this guy normally charge for removing gutter rash and powdering coating rims? I sent him an email, but I honestly have no idea how much powder coating, or gutter rash removing costs in general. $500, $1000, more?

Cheers.

^ It cost me $125ea rim to strip back, repair gutter rashes, prep and power coat. $500 total for 4 of my rims :P

Read up on his website which tells you what he does... Very informative, although most things have been updated using latest processes/technology.

One thing I liked about his method in stripping the current paint work is not by sand blasting and instead dipping the rims into some form of solvent or some sh!t... Just read up about it!

Cheers,

Andy

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
