Hey guys, call up a local panel shop and ask who does their wheel repairs or call someone who deals in second hand rims. You should get a point in the right direction from either of those.

You could get a crappy old wheel to practice on but maybe, just maybe if you rub back the rim with wet and dry and then paint a new clear coat on yourself this may do the trick for you.

Or take them to a good panel shop and get them to quote on repairs painting maybe.

My mate DIY'd his dish. He got 1200 wet and dry and sanded it back real good. He then got that chorme/metal cleaner (can't remember it's name) and it looks like new. Much cheaper than getting someone to re-clear them.

It should be hard to do yourself 1200 wet sand then polish presto i think i need to do this on my volk gt-c they starting to look abit dull

This is the problem with not applying a clear coat over the polished surface; alloys oxidise & go dull if you don't seal the surface.

Or you can keep on poishing...

It's been a number of months now and they still looks like new.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The price isn't the issue, it's how hard my fuel pump is to remove now. I fabricated a custom bracket so my pump sits on the very bottom of the tank (I ran the tank down to 5L remaining to test it, works well). But it is a fkn NIGHTMARE to get the pump down into the tank now =/ words can't describe how much I hate fighting with the fuel pump/hanger now. The other issue is reliability, I'm driving down for WTA in a couple of months, I'd be less then impressed if I was half way to Sydney from Brisbane and my pump fails again =/ The other issue I had was my car battery was slowly failing, with low battery voltage my fuel pump couldn't keep up with what the reg was asking from it. I've replaced the battery and my fuel pressure is back to being perfect.  As for the low voltage situation that killed my previous battery, I've got a 150amp alternator sitting on my desk waiting to go in. Fingers crossed that will sort that issue.

      R32 Nostalgia

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
