Hi All,

I've got a White R34 Gtt with the standard 17" rims, and I'm thinking about painting them gloss black.

I haven't seen how those rims would look painted black, so if anyone can help me out with some pics, that would be great!

Cheers

thanks man. sorry didnt get many pics of it. have upgraded since then and sold my stockies. theres a few pics of r34 gtt rims sprayed black on sau though.

No worries man, thanks a lot for posting those pics, I'll go through the gallery sometime and see if I can find other pics.

Would you recommend painting them or should I save the $ and get a set of 18"s (Works or Volks in black) down the track instead?

do it yourself dude quite nice and easy

1 x duct tape

1 x old newspaper

1 x can of primer

2/3 x cans of gloss black

1/2 x cans of clear coat

1 x free day

Yer thats what i want to do for my car, its silver though. Cheaper option while saving.

Do you really need the clear coat? I was goin to use etch primer an gloss black wheel paint.

Or is that no good?

Cheers

mmm...might give it a try...do i need to sand the wheel first?

Obviously not an R34, but its white. You'll at least get the idea of how awesome they look :D

The GTT rims looks quite good on the S15.

19's on a GTT would probably look better, but handling and tyre prices wise...18's would be the better option for me :stupid:

hey guys, who here's done this? i'm thinking of doing it, how many coats should i spray on at each point and how long do i leave to dry in between coats?

with the end result, does it last long? or does it wear fairly quickly and u need to keep respraying it?

    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
    • Foreshadowing was never so easy.
    • The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
