hi gangs...

as i have seen a lot of silvia s15 stock rims sprayed black color, it really look good on the car, but i am wondering, has anyone done one on skylines, preferably ER34?? would it look good for the stock rims ER34 colored/sprayed black??..just trying to save some money for NOW, and thinking of coloring my stock rims black instead of buying new sets of rims..

any opinions??

thanks..

here is mine sprayed black with rays nuts looks heaps good i reckon, especially with the r34 gtt rims. take the centre cap off and they look a treat.

wowwwwwww....thats fckin awesome dude....i just didnt realise how sick it is on er34..my car is a yellow color, do u reckon it will look good on a black sprayed rims?? im getting it done man...im so excited now ive seen one for r34....

thanx heaps....

i dont think he has that type of money, if his wanting to spray stock rims... lolol

true true there bro....just on the tight budget at the moment...lolz...its only ttemporarily till i have enough dough to buy a good set of 19" deep dish rims which is my dream..but dat would still be far ahead, as i need my performance done first...

cheerz anyways...

Yeah I'm saying spray paint your wheels LIKE the TE37's in the pic I posted, NOT Buy the wheels.

Like that style = paint wheels black with red lip.

Cool!

those are only 16's and with those stripes going around teh wheels i recon itll look abit wierd, cos itll make the wheel look even smaller and he doesnt have stretched tyres.
i meen 17's

Hmmm... You think..?

I still think it be fine, but atleast paint the wheels black I say :down:

Black gives a tuff look.

shouldnt be to hard.

clean wheel and sand of clear coat. id get engine enamal paint as they are better lasting. prime it well. allow to try then do very fine light coats allow an hour to dry in between. and if you want a really good quality finish wet sand in between then a nice final coat followed by clear and a buff/polish.

that will give you a nice thick coat that wont chip away.

also make sure you tape up your tyres or you will get paint and primer on them.

also try getting black promer if painting your wheel black. so IF there is a chip at leak you primer will be black so you wont notice it

wow...ur stokies with black and red line looks good...what did u used for the red line?? is it actually a paint or something else/???

i powdercoated them :P

red lip uses the lip of the rim, didnt need to mask anything as i can wipe the black powder off the red before curing the black coat.

alot of work though, definately not the cheapest option due to the extra baking and prep work required.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
