You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Powdercoating done right is stronger than paint

Interesting. I have heard the opposite. Powdercoating is cheaper so you'd think it'd be not as good

Nah its about the same in strength and finish etc

however what a lot of people don't know is with powdercoating alloy wheels you need more heat to bake the powder so if its say an alloy wheel you coat you can actually alter the properties in the wheel if its been heat treated when it was made. I was heading towards powdercoating for the BBS's until I found this out and went paint, stays in the low bake over @ around 60 degrees instead of the 200+ powdercoating needs

So many mixed opinions with the powder coat vs painting

these are the rims: (not sure what they're made out of)

http://www.vertiniwh...agic-silver.htm

Would you guys suggest powder coated or painted for em?? I want to go matte black

also have to be careful not to have the rims sandblasted...

soda blasting is better if you can get it done

this too, sandblasting pits the wheels and makes it really hard to get a flat finish, soda blasting is good as an alternative

but the best is to sand the rims down by hand going through different grits of sandpaper

Or just buy new ones in non-gay colours

haha i would have if I could have, but all of the super rs's are silver that i found

^ lol

Yeah I wanted these in black but found them cheap

Nick where did you get your BBS's painted and how much?

my old panelshop at mates rates, was cheap so you wouldn't get that price

with 4 door moulds, 2 front bar moulds (all 6 had to be hi-filled as well) 4 door handles and the 4 rim centers and rim caps was $400

no need to spend big bucks painting it.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
