Its a hit and miss affair. sometimes the paint cracks regardless of what precautions are taken. Its the risk you take.

Doin mine on the weekend, Will be interesting to see if i can gitterdone without busting the paint.

in my experience (got all 4 done on my R32), from what i have ben told by the guy who did mine, the paint should never crack if someone good is doing it

if you are FLARING the guards then its another story, but simply rolling should be fine if the paint is heated and a good technique is used..

what i was going to say, if you dont want it cracked then ask him before.

mine cracked when we did it, but then again we did flare them a bit and didnt heat them, but gettin a resray so wasnt worried.

Spoke to kevin on the phone and he said he heat the paint up and roll them several times starting with a smaller angle working the lip back. Shouldn't damage the paint but depends on the condition and how old the paint is.

Seems like a pretty cool guy. $130 for him to come to brissie and could be cheaper if I go to him down the coast.

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
