hey PJ do you go around rooty hill area?? i think ive seen your car :S not many 370gt's around either lol

Yeah that's me :)

I go the the gym at the RSL and on my days off I like to grab a bite to eat at big chiefs just like my high school days lol

Give me a beep or a wave next time so I know it's you :/

hey nice work guys.

i need some help please, ive got both door trims off and ive done the centre already but i dont know how to get the switch piece out of the passenger door trim. does the handle have to come off the trim alltogether? do i have to break anything?

there are a few screws there..just have a better look mate, the switch will pop out when you take out all the screws. If you have the passenger side trim off the door already, check from underneath ..there are a couple of screws there holding the switch and the plastic surround in place.

Did my gear shift and stereo surround in Powerplus tungsten :)

Good choice I've used powerplus tungsten too, looks tops :bunny: I've done my doors too and just have to do the speedo bezel (took one out of a R34 gtr dash) now as it's slightly different colour (grey/silverish)

Can anyone recommend a cheap trimmer in Sydney ? I want to change my carpets (the moulded carpet not the mats) to black ones as I'm getting creme seat covers installed soon.

Did you clear coat it after your sprayed.. going to attempt this next weekend love the colour, just like the GTR minus the brushed steel look

cool thanks ive managed to get it out now. got all the screws before, was just afraid of breaking it when pulling it out :)

im doing my centre and doors in powerplus kashmir pearl.

looks really nice. its a silvery gold will try and post pics tomorrow when im done

Do NOT clear coat it .. looks like ass IMHO. Just do 3-4 coats of the colour you want and do very light coats each time and allow 10-20 mins drying time inbetween if using the powerplus paints and then let it all dry overnight after final coat.

Dan that's exactly what it looks like .. silver/grey with a tiny bit of gold in it. I experimented with 2 different colours before it (matt black and silver) and they looked nowhere as nice.

Where can you get the thin sticky felt from to replace the old stuff?

There is some very small creaking from plastic to plastic contact ........

Has anyone found the same exact stuff it is is a matter of adapting something else?

mine came off completely with the paint due to the metho and I haven't noticed any creaking .. I suppose you could just improvise, buy some material, cut it into stripes and glue it on. I doubt you'd find a direct replacement anywhere ie. same width etc.

ok these pics are total shite. its dark and im in my garage cos its pissing outside.

ok this color isnt anything close to being white. its a real nice silver\gold and is almost identical color to the gear buttons on the steering wheel.

Hey Delta Force, you have redone your interior trim a few times you said, i have done mine all in Tungsten as well, love the color on it, but i want to re-spray the vents above the ac controls because i think that turned out a little shitty (uneven spray), how did you go about re-spraying it? sand paper? if so what grit etc...?

cheers

Did mine quite awhile ago, unfortunetly I have the premium addition setup so there are a few gaps here and there... but here it is, was done in almost a silver blue colour for something a bit different.

Not a great photo but you get the idea. Just need to get the standard AC controls and surround and repeat the process and it will look alot cleaner.

Just remove the part, dump into metho and take off paint with scourer and start from scratch for the best results IMO ... spray lightly but do 3 coats and she'll be right

ah so the metho will get rid of the paint, i thought it might have only worked on the shitty standard stuff, will have to give it a go.

cheers bud

    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
    • Yes, but no. I wouldn't want an IC7, because I think they are ugly, cramped and most of the displays I've seen are garish (and granted the last bit can probably be avoided). I wouldn't want to pay for the UC10. Probably wouldn't want to pay for the IC7, for that matter. And, it's an R32. I have cable drive speedo. Although, thinking about it, that's not a big obstacle, because at least I can throw the electronic sender back into the R33 box and then find a way to emulate the original (R32 or R33) speedo head's conversion of the saw-tooth AC speed signal into the square wave that the ECU wants, without the 1990s approach of hiding a gutted speedo head behind the dash. (another Arduino project, no doubt). I like the technical aspects of the big digital dashes, but I aesthetically and just general originality and feel-wise, like the original dash enough. More? Yes, more. If I had a UC10 I'd want to make the dash look as close to the original one as possible most of the time, and only flash up "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" when it needed to. But the other aspect of the 3-DIN slot digi gauge that I'm contemplating is that I'm a tinkerer and can barely resist a project, even if I don't need to add another to the list of unfinished ones. And I think there's enough precedent of others out there that have proven which equipment works (ie, is not washed out, or slow, or prone to failure, or all the other problems that can afflict such a project). I'm not quite enough of a micro-controller tech head that I know the best way to approach all of these decisions, and so striking out on my own to achieve it years ago would have led to unhappiness. But now, it seems like a project that I can actually achieve on the first or second go, with only a few sleepless nights. And that's why I'm actively thinking about it now. I would much rather have a thing in my car that I made from more-or-less scratch that does what I want, rather than something that someone else made that does some of what I want, not other stuff I want, and/or annoys me in some fashion. If I'm going to be annoyed, I need it to be my fault, so I know who to blame, and who needs to fix it. As an example of that - I have surveillance cameras at home. No, I did not go buy a kit with a DVR and 4 or 8 or 16 off-the-shelf cameras in a kit. No, I did not want to use any sort of could service to record or access the feeds and recordings from outside the house. No, I bought my chosen cameras directly (from China, lol) and built the DVR myself using a couple of different (ie, this was attempt 1 and attempt 2 to get a system I liked) software packages, running on Linux, with the server being a virtual machine running Proxmox. I found a way to offload the image recognition part of the system to a dedicated AI processing board (a Coral TPU, for anyone who cares) with the hardware passed through to the server on the VM, motion detection offloaded to the GPU, all storage is local in the home network, accessible from outside via my own self-hosted VPN). All done so that I could seal off the Chinese cameras in their own network where they can't access the internet and dial home to the CCP and backdoor my network. All things that you can't have if you do what is commercially available. And even with all the f**king around it has still cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy commercially.
    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
