Hi all!

So I managed to get my hands on a pair of Rota Rims for a great price off a mate. All of these rims are in perfect condition bar one, which has some pretty bad gutter rash, due to an annoying pot hole.

Now inititially I was going to get all the rims powdercoated anyway, as I wanted to change colour. Now my issue is I've been told Powdercoating will get rid of the gutter rash, but ( I don't have any experience with this so excuse the noobishness) will it merely cover it up due to the coating? Or will they remove the rash prior to coating?

Sorry if it's poorly worded what I'm asking!

Nah no chance powder coating will cover that mate. It doesn't look too bad in the pictures, how deep is it? If it's really deep then you would need to get them welded, but they don't look that bad. Looks like a quick skim around the outside of the rim on a lathe would fix it up, then it would be ready for powder coating.

+1 for Chris' work, and even if you are interstate Im sure he would coat your rims. He has some really unique colours too

Just a couple of things of mine he has done over the years, I have a slight problem when it comes to powdercoating.............LOL

Depends on severity and condition of rims.

I haven't had a powdercoat as of yet, but my mate had a set done pearl orange and it cost him 800 I believe. Was a very good job.

But like all jobs you pay for what you get.

I believe there is a place in Williamstown (Mr.Powdercoat?) and it was around 300 for a set, if I remember correctly. Stand to be corrected.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
