Yeh thanks guys :laugh:

that was my cheap rim upgrade. heh

currently in the process of saving for some real wheels. a set of white or black centred Meisters or Professors with some chrome dish would be nice :laugh: so expensive though :happy:

Well given the above, i think you are an appropriate person to ask the following:

The Wheels I want no longer come in the finish i want, instead only flat silver. I was thinking of buying the flat silver ones and getting them painted or powder coated. But i really dont want it to look bad. When your are spending over $2k on something you want it to look good. Do you think painted wheels are likely to chip or deteriorate??

Umm, Well mine were sprayed with a 20 dollar spray can :happy:

I'm not sure how much it costs to get wheels powder coated. But i was under the impression it was about 50 bucks a wheel... I wasn't willing to spend 200 dollars on my stockies.. Where as if i had 2 thousand dollar wheels. theres no way i would want to wreck them with a 20 dollar spray can.. I would defiantely get them powder coated. I have a mate with white powder coated wheels and they look awesome.

But that said, mine havent chipped or anything yet. Pretty surprised at how nice the finish ended up actually.

Well after all that, ive just put some new wheels on my car anyhow....

They are a 2 piece Work wheel. 18x8 and 9. not sure of the model. they are a dished bbs mesh style wheel..

thinking about getting the centres coated black. but not sure yet...

Looking forward to seeing some pics of powder coated wheels.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
