are they nice jap rims or just cheap ones? and how much do u wanna spend?

personally if they're a nice set of rims and u dont wanna skip on quality powdercoat them for a few hundred dollars

i wouldnt pay a few hundred just to paint them, paint scratches easily, a good quality paint wont scratch as easily but if its gonna cost you a few hundred dollars thats round about the same price to powdercoat them.

i painted my stockies with a very cheap brand spray can (primer then gloss black) about a year ago and they're still fine today no chips no faded paint its still surprisingly good haha and i wash the car regularly and drive it daily, and the best part about this way is it'll cost you $5, if u do hit a gutter or something u can always touch it up with the leftovers in the can using a brush and if u dont like how it looks just rub it down with thinners.

Did some calling around myself a few weeks ago regarding this, this was probably the best I came up with:

Diamond Powder Coaters

2/51 Division St, Welshpool WA 6106‎ - (08) 9258 4355‎

Guy I spoke to was called Martin

Said that for $50 a rim they do: sandblast rim, primer and topcoat/powdercoat

Going to be getting my existing Advan AVS's done if the car doesn't sell in the next 2 weeks :rofl2:

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
