Hi! I got some White CR Kai's that are getting out of control to clean.

Thinking of getting the painted professionally.

Only 1 rims got very minor gutter rash and the others just has paint chip near the wheel nut holes

Anyone know any good place on the westside near Keilor?

I got quoted at a panel beater $120 per rim, ( Take off/on tyre, Repaired, painted and balanced)

Is that a good price?

I was thinking of powder coating but i heard that if it starts to crack, its really cracks plus i have to get the tyre on and off plus they only paint not repair my rim too.

Any suggestions?

Bring it to Steve's Wheels in Berkshire Road in Sunshine. Ask for Zoran or Igore. Tell him Kevin with the R33 GTR sent you. They'll help you out. Great prices and service.

I went there today, they are alot dearer!

Charging close to $200 more than the panel beater.

Any other Powerdercoat places that repair rims?

Definitely go black rims...without the red stuff... just all black.

Really - and you said I sent you and they still gave you that price? Damn...

Try also Advanced Wheel Repairs in Richmond or Ajax wheels in the Eastern Suburbs. Give them a shot.

Good luck mate.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
