Well now I have done the Ultimate Trim 'leather' interior, I thought it was time to make a custom gauge panel for the spare DIN spot in the R34, put in some of 666dans blue leds into the dash cluster, and cut out the ash tray and integrate the SAFCII into the dash.

I plan to go a little bit more crazy with the carbon fibre, and may well re-do the bits I have done as some of it is a bit rough and better techniques would give a better result.

I thought I'd share these photos for your enjoyment.

Thanks guys. Like I said I am going to make some small improvements but am quite happy with it overall. The device on the top right is an M350, which is a digital speedo with 0-400m, power reading, lap times etc, but I haven't figured out the Japanese instructions to get it all working yet.

I haven't actually got the Hybrid solenoid hooked up yet - it is wired through to the engine bay, but I haven't had time to plug it all in. I used the older model of this one and it was very good - so I expect this one to be as good if not better.

The dash lights take under an hour to install. The hardest part is getting the cluster out - it is a p.i.t.a if you don't remove the steering wheel (like I didn't).

Andrew what does the p.i.t.a stand for?

And Paul. i think the HP gains with just the interior the way it is now is massive. like adds 98rwkw with just these mods itself. LOL Jokes.

It looks really good Andrew. Figuring out what to do to my interior to make it look more pretty.

hahahahahaha beat me to it :(

Thanks Brenton :ninja:

and Pauly, the Hybrid won't actually add any power, it will just make boost come on earlier, stronger and more controlled. I have also bought an HKS actuator which I will fit with my new turbo that will aid this also.

yeah Joel it is is just the $40 per roll carbon fibre contact style stuff from Autobarn. I actually wrapped it around the edges and stuck in under the trim, but will re-do it with the edged trimmed to the edge of the trim rather than folding under - I am sure it will look better that way, and be less prone to bubbles and ripples like it has now.

come up good Andrew, cutting it should stop it from bubbling. Have to find my self saw real carbon fibre i had a roll a while back but it ended up "dissolving" and you end up with black carbon hand prints every where after handling the stuff

yes, real carbon fibre would be nice! There is a mob in the Eastern states somewhere that can paint items to look and feel like carbon fibre, but from memory they were up to $100 per trim piece. Since I am going to do the whole vertical centre console, plus the power window surround thingo, it is too much $$$. I will try different techniques with the carbon contact and see how it goes.

    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer. 
    • Hi all,   suspect this is a common problem. I think I missed 4th gear a bit when I shifted down from 5th. Now it grinds into 4th with the downshift. Is it the sychro and what do I need to replace when I open the gear box up?    added a photo of my new titanium intake I just installed and built. 👍💪
