Hey,

I have some nismo wheels (not the ones everyone wants, just some boring ones that no one cares about lol) and i like them a lot but they are just a bit dull. I'm happy with the rim bit because its a nice silver than can be polished to look real good but the inner piece is just that silvery colour that is dull and boring.

Anyway, is it possible to get the inner part resprayed black? I was thinking it'd look awesome if i got the inside that real nice shiny black colour and have 'nismo' stickers or 'nismo' sprayed onto it in white letters. So then it'll have the black in the middle and the shiny silver rim on the outside. I don't know if thats possible though.

Can 2 piece wheels be taken apart and put back together easily? I know theres like 100 bolts around the side of my wheel, or once they are on is it kind've impossible to take apart again? And is it possible for my type of wheel to be resprayed another colour like black?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

yep you can do all of the things asked, a rim repairer would be best to get them dis-assembled, then take the centres to a paint shop or a powdercoater to blast and coat, then back to the rim shop for re-assembly

I didnt pay anything close to that... Was more like $100 for the whole set including clear coat. I took it to a commercial powder coater not a rim specialist though. Photo here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4428017

Yours look great, it'd be good if i can get it done for that price. I'll talk to a couple people i know, hopefully one of them can do it.

not a bad turnout for stock R33 rims

Damn Chris,

I thought they were aftermarket rims!!! I had to look twice!!!

Very Very nice work!!!

I cant believe you made those stockies look so tough!!! im sure alot of owners with Stock rims would rather this cheaper option...then buyer other rims...

Well done mate!!

Wow, sounds like I probably did then. I used to Live next door to that powder coater where I got them done. Thats about 2 years ago now... maybe he cut me a deal? I definately wasnt expensive in my case.

Edited by MintR33

I would spray my rims a seperate colour as well but they are all chipped and scratched lol. So i don't know how that'd turn out.

Yours look good though Chris.

I'm now not sure what colour i should respray mine with. I was thinking black but my car is also black and i don't want every part on my car the same colour or it just looks too black. Maybe i should get them sprayed a gold colour or something? I have no idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what colour i should get?

not white !! haha

search around your area for powdercoaters, see what suppliers they use. the Dulux colour range is pretty small, some might use rohm and haas which have a much more comprehensive range of colours.

but atleast dulux will send you as a consumer a colour swatch book from their website if you want to check out whats available.

a nice black chrome would be good like below

do it yourself if you are short on cash and/or have the time

We did it on our MPS 6, resprayed the RX8 wheels we bought for it in a charcoal black,

just rub them back, couple of cans of desired paint, then a coat of clear.

The finish is pretty damn good for $100 and a days work, plus any repairs are easy because you have the exact colour for touch-ups.

but if people are quoting like $150 for a professional powdercoat (sounds cheap to me) then go for it.

Off memory its like $50-$100 a rim for powder coating depending who you go to, atleast that's up here.

Hey mate,

Any chance of pm'n me a contact or two, would like to get my 33 wheels machined/ coloured.

Thats very similar to mine. Black Onyx is what I got from memory.

Anyone got any recommended contacts (preferred Brisbane) for powder coater?

MintR33: where did you get those NISMO stickers? Ebay? The LMGT4s I have are like 9yrs old (looked at the production date stickers) and the NISMO stickers are fading, scratches on the paint etc.

Someone help me make my car look like this pls!

Sorry for the late reply, yes I got them on Ebay (do a search for items located overseas)

Also I had my rims done by:

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
