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.

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
