3 Piece Wheel Dis Assembly

Hey guys,

Just bought some SSR Professor SP1 rims + tyres and I want to respray the center piece (spokes) a gloss black instead of the silver it is currently.

I can see it just has bolts laced around the outside of the rim that bolt it in. I would need a special star shaped alan key to remove them but what im wondering is ..... is it as simple as unbolting and bolting back in once painted?

Do I have to consider anything such as torque or tightening order? If so, help? :D

Ta.

well yes, yes you do. Just like anything you will need to tighten them in a star sort of pattern.. N,S E,W, NE, SW, NW, SE etc till they are all done up and you will need to set them to the right torque. Also if you take the bolts out you would probably need to replace them as alot of high strengh things like that need replacing once removed as it caused a very larger stress on them. Call the manufacturer and ask for their price.... or... sticky tape mate.

Find a good wheel repair place. They will be able to do it for you. Or at least give you some advice.

Disassembly you can probably do your self, but reassembly will require resealing and balancing of the rim. If you separate them yourself then you should also index all the pieces so they go back in the same orientation.

my advice is if you can do what you want to do without seperating (ie masking off areas) then do that. I've seen so many people that have split up 3 piece rims only to have a bastard of a time as once re-assembled they did not seal properly anymore and took a lot of farking around to make them good again.

i took my old jap 16" apart to respray the centres black again. wasnt too dificult getting them apart, torture putting them back together again. id say get them pro done or mask em off especially when theyre Professors. dont want to bugger up those babies!!

hello!! i used to work at a tyre and wheel joint in melbourne and it really isnt that hard we used to do it all the time.it really is as simple as pulling them appart stripping off the old paint with paint stripper then undercoating and painting.putting them back together is quite easy but they should be torqued tho n thats easy to do with a torque rench and you can pick those up for around 60bucks then add in the paint and the stripper and it shouldnt cost more than 120.just remember you have all the time in the world so take your time n itll be fine not to metion much more rewarding.good luck...peace

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au

      Series 2 R33 GTS25T?

      By Skip33 · Posted

      Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5

      I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
