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

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
