Hey all...I'm wanting to get the centres of my rims powder coated...has anyone removed the centres or tell me what i need by looking at the pics, to remove the centre? I couldn't get a clear pic of the actual bolt that i need removed, especially because its with a phone camera but hopefully it'll be enough to make out...

...is it just a matter of simply removing the bolts, which will then enable it to just fall out? The bolts are held together with a simple nut, but dont know what to use to hold the bolt in place...

thanks in advance

Justin

Not sure how similar these wheels are to remove centre compared to SSR Mesh wheels, but they should be able to be removed by undoing all the nuts and bolts then pretty much hammer the centre out. To make it easier to remove, take the tyres off or remove the pressure in the tyres.

To reinstall the center, people have said that you need to torque each bolt up to a specific tightness to keep balance, but I've just tightened them all up by hand not knowing and everything's fine so far..

I echo the post above, however I have LMGT-2's, I didnt torque them, I used the highest clutch setting on the drill when doing them up. Just be aware that some of those nuts will be seized on depending on the age of your wheels and can be difficult to get off - dont strip them CRC / WD40 is your friend.

Are they stainless steel nuts on the stainless steel bolts? if they are thats bad news as they tend to lock together. Next best thing would be to extend your leverage, use a breaker bar and be careful. If you arent confident take it to a professional.

Well the socket we were using started to slip even with just a 3/8 and chewed the bolt just a LITTLE...so I didn't want to try anymore incase we chewed it up even more...

what kind of professional would i take the wheels to?

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.

      Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.

      I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
