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.

I will get some better photos in daylight today also.

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.

    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.  7f8604df-f686-466f-b2ec-e1d8a369ddd9.mov    
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
    • Go the CRS, cheaper than the A052 and same if not better 1 lap performance when suspension is dialled for it. If wanting to do back to back laps the A052 and can cool off and go again next lap will be the better option. I have gone quicker over 1 lap with CRS than the A050 I came from but may be due to getting more seat time. I am driving CRS on the street lately in different conditions and its going well, a lot better than AR1 in the wet. AR1 is a race tyre, CRS is a Hill Climb/time attack/Sprint tyre. 2 different things, a slick is on the way too. The mighty gay mods choice of tyre is proper rubbish for those that actually drive on track not park at bunnings at night.
