I was looking to get mine restored also but I'm leaning towards powder coating as anodised wheels are more delicate. .IMG_20170517_153115.thumb.jpeg.d215318113a0b30f97546772c8b3a418.jpeg

Yeah my 19"'s were anodised bronze te37's from factory, so I got them powder coated white. The guy done such a great job they have gloss & exact paint spec if bought from factory white! I highly recommend powder coating as long as business knows there stuff

Could you message me the place and price you got it at please ? It would great if they could match the factory rim colour.

No worries, his name is Vince from "WheelfixItcom.com. Mob:0418 343 482. He is mobile which is super convenient & charges $275 each wheel(that includes all repairs such as gutter rash, dints, deep scratches etc, sandblasting rims, then heat treating them to ridiculously hot temperature in oven which helps withstand/shield rims turning yellow easily if u go white like me, & then the actual powder-coat). This guy was referred to me & I'm more than happy with result. Also if you're after factory white or black on te37's-no problem! My white finish was exactly same colour code & finish from factory. Only colour that is an issue is my original rim colour=bronze. Reason being that factory bronze te37's are anodised & can never be replicated 100%. They can get close, but never exactly spot on. This guy also spray's rims which is much cheaper but if you know a bit about powder coating it's a much better way to go if you have descent to good rims. Just say Mike with blue r34 gtr sent ya & hopefully he looks after you

Ps. If you need any extra bits such as Ray's stickers, bolts, tyre caps & valves, centre caps or anything similar, just hit me up as I know couple places which can help[emoji1417]

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
