Hey Guys

I have a set of 3 piece rims, Rays, that I bought of the forum, I would like to take the centres out which are bolted to the rim, with Allen key fronts and bolts at the back. In order to spray them.

Is it going to be a problem to take the rims apart with tyres on, as there would be no centre bracing to keep the wheel in shape.

Any ideas?

Getting the tyres removed is an option, but just wondering if I can get around it.

Cheers.

I've taken out the centres of my wheels. Had tyres on them too. Just deflate the tyres as much as you can before taking the face out though. Shouldn't be a problem.

From another thread on here, I've heard you should get the wheels rebalanced after taking the centre out. Haven't read on why it needs to be done though. Could be obvious to some as to why you should balance it again, but I can't seem to think of anything at the moment.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
