Am boring with the color, but still love the style. So I'm just wondering where can I have my wheels be re-paint and what price mark should I looking for? Better be in northen suburbs but willing to travel a little bit.

By the way, the wheels are 18', and how long should the re-paint takes? Thanks.

Good question:

I am looking for options with this as well. I reckon the premium option is Mick @ Micolour, who will do the best job you're likely to get.

Vu @ DT said to me over the phone that he doesn't paint wheels.

Any cheaper options anybody?

Craig @ Colour Ur Mags or Rims, can never remember which.

Avoid the big players in Moorabbin, rip off central.

Craig is a bit eccentric, and it looks like you dropping your rims off in some back yard workshop, but the quality is great and at a very reasonable price point. Had my 34 R rims power coated, but he can paint as well.

Make that two... I felt ripped off by the Moorabbin big wheel repair shop... $160 or $180 and 1 month later the wheel just peel off...

I mean WTF...\\\

and here I am now still looking for a reliable wheel repair shop in the west or inner city ....

as the wheel is on the car it's hard for me to find time to have the wheel off the car for a week or two...

Powdercoating is the way to go...it lasts a long time if done properly. I had a set of scratched up, painted black S15 wheels that I got powdercoated in silver and they looked factory brand new. Awesome work. Some joint in Bayswater...there's a couple there who do powdercoating.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
