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.

    • How do people sell and buy modified cars in Victoria? Because internet says you have to get a RWC every time the car is sold. In NSW the blue slip / full check is only required for cars that had their registration lapsed or are bought from interstate. The yearly pink slip / rego check just looks at tyres, lights, leaks and things like that. They tend to not care about modifications. So can buy a car that is modified as long as it was registered before modifications. And then keep driving it. With the lingering threat of getting defected and fu<ked at any time.
    • I think just better tyres, I'm just on Hankook RS-4 tyres at the moment, which aren't really meant for the track. Also, been mucking around with my suspension for sometime now and I'm really happy bow neutral it is. Car doesn't want to just oversteer or understeer like it did years ago.  Time to put on proper tyres one day and see what the shit box can do at SMSP, One Raceway and Luddenham again.
    • How much work to get you in the 55s? Or just more seat time?

    • It's not "interpreted as" it literally is no more than 1 mod to the intake system. The turbo is considered something that affects emissions. So this has 0.0% chance of passing it's current state. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this would absolutely need thousands to get on the road. Perhaps the seller still has the stock bits, but god knows what state the OEM wiring is to run the ECU, whether an OEM cluster is still available, etc. Generally speaking, RWC testers in Victoria are more conservative than the rules actually are to boot, so even if the car will pass, they won't even want to look at it, nor consult the actual roadworthiness requirements. They will simply throw it in the too hard basket with a flavor of arrogance and move onto the next job, even if the mods you have meet the requirements of VSI14.
