Hey,

I have some nismo wheels (not the ones everyone wants, just some boring ones that no one cares about lol) and i like them a lot but they are just a bit dull. I'm happy with the rim bit because its a nice silver than can be polished to look real good but the inner piece is just that silvery colour that is dull and boring.

Anyway, is it possible to get the inner part resprayed black? I was thinking it'd look awesome if i got the inside that real nice shiny black colour and have 'nismo' stickers or 'nismo' sprayed onto it in white letters. So then it'll have the black in the middle and the shiny silver rim on the outside. I don't know if thats possible though.

Can 2 piece wheels be taken apart and put back together easily? I know theres like 100 bolts around the side of my wheel, or once they are on is it kind've impossible to take apart again? And is it possible for my type of wheel to be resprayed another colour like black?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

yep you can do all of the things asked, a rim repairer would be best to get them dis-assembled, then take the centres to a paint shop or a powdercoater to blast and coat, then back to the rim shop for re-assembly

I didnt pay anything close to that... Was more like $100 for the whole set including clear coat. I took it to a commercial powder coater not a rim specialist though. Photo here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4428017

Yours look great, it'd be good if i can get it done for that price. I'll talk to a couple people i know, hopefully one of them can do it.

not a bad turnout for stock R33 rims

Damn Chris,

I thought they were aftermarket rims!!! I had to look twice!!!

Very Very nice work!!!

I cant believe you made those stockies look so tough!!! im sure alot of owners with Stock rims would rather this cheaper option...then buyer other rims...

Well done mate!!

Wow, sounds like I probably did then. I used to Live next door to that powder coater where I got them done. Thats about 2 years ago now... maybe he cut me a deal? I definately wasnt expensive in my case.

Edited by MintR33

I would spray my rims a seperate colour as well but they are all chipped and scratched lol. So i don't know how that'd turn out.

Yours look good though Chris.

I'm now not sure what colour i should respray mine with. I was thinking black but my car is also black and i don't want every part on my car the same colour or it just looks too black. Maybe i should get them sprayed a gold colour or something? I have no idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what colour i should get?

not white !! haha

search around your area for powdercoaters, see what suppliers they use. the Dulux colour range is pretty small, some might use rohm and haas which have a much more comprehensive range of colours.

but atleast dulux will send you as a consumer a colour swatch book from their website if you want to check out whats available.

a nice black chrome would be good like below

do it yourself if you are short on cash and/or have the time

We did it on our MPS 6, resprayed the RX8 wheels we bought for it in a charcoal black,

just rub them back, couple of cans of desired paint, then a coat of clear.

The finish is pretty damn good for $100 and a days work, plus any repairs are easy because you have the exact colour for touch-ups.

but if people are quoting like $150 for a professional powdercoat (sounds cheap to me) then go for it.

Off memory its like $50-$100 a rim for powder coating depending who you go to, atleast that's up here.

Hey mate,

Any chance of pm'n me a contact or two, would like to get my 33 wheels machined/ coloured.

Thats very similar to mine. Black Onyx is what I got from memory.

Anyone got any recommended contacts (preferred Brisbane) for powder coater?

MintR33: where did you get those NISMO stickers? Ebay? The LMGT4s I have are like 9yrs old (looked at the production date stickers) and the NISMO stickers are fading, scratches on the paint etc.

Someone help me make my car look like this pls!

Sorry for the late reply, yes I got them on Ebay (do a search for items located overseas)

Also I had my rims done by:

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
