Hey guys,

Just bought some SSR Professor SP1 rims + tyres and I want to respray the center piece (spokes) a gloss black instead of the silver it is currently.

I can see it just has bolts laced around the outside of the rim that bolt it in. I would need a special star shaped alan key to remove them but what im wondering is ..... is it as simple as unbolting and bolting back in once painted?

Do I have to consider anything such as torque or tightening order? If so, help? :D

Ta.

well yes, yes you do. Just like anything you will need to tighten them in a star sort of pattern.. N,S E,W, NE, SW, NW, SE etc till they are all done up and you will need to set them to the right torque. Also if you take the bolts out you would probably need to replace them as alot of high strengh things like that need replacing once removed as it caused a very larger stress on them. Call the manufacturer and ask for their price.... or... sticky tape mate.

Find a good wheel repair place. They will be able to do it for you. Or at least give you some advice.

Disassembly you can probably do your self, but reassembly will require resealing and balancing of the rim. If you separate them yourself then you should also index all the pieces so they go back in the same orientation.

my advice is if you can do what you want to do without seperating (ie masking off areas) then do that. I've seen so many people that have split up 3 piece rims only to have a bastard of a time as once re-assembled they did not seal properly anymore and took a lot of farking around to make them good again.

i took my old jap 16" apart to respray the centres black again. wasnt too dificult getting them apart, torture putting them back together again. id say get them pro done or mask em off especially when theyre Professors. dont want to bugger up those babies!!

hello!! i used to work at a tyre and wheel joint in melbourne and it really isnt that hard we used to do it all the time.it really is as simple as pulling them appart stripping off the old paint with paint stripper then undercoating and painting.putting them back together is quite easy but they should be torqued tho n thats easy to do with a torque rench and you can pick those up for around 60bucks then add in the paint and the stripper and it shouldnt cost more than 120.just remember you have all the time in the world so take your time n itll be fine not to metion much more rewarding.good luck...peace

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
