Hi all,

With the help of some people on here, and the Japanese auctions, I've finished converting my S2 prime edition from woodgrain to silver (that was always my intention).

I still have all my woodgrain bits in good condition, sitting in a box in bubble-wrap, and I really need to move them on. I also know that some people on here are closet woodgrain fans...

I'll endeavor to pull them out to take photos in the next couple of days but you probably know what these are anyway, so here is a list for now:

All these parts were removed from my S2 prime with 88,533 on the clock, and I think the prices are fair considering what I've paid for these trim pieces in silver:

Buyer to pay postage please, should be $15 max for even the larger items within Australia, let me know if you want registered, express etc.

  • woodgrain centre console aircon vent surround with stagea writing & emblem (fits above stereo) - good condition, $50
  • woodgrain stereo surround (xanavi style) - good condition, $50
  • woodgrain ash tray - good condition, $20
  • woodgrain tiptronic gear surround, bare except for cigarette lighter socket, rubber square around shifter hole, and a small 'knobbly bit' which is barely noticeable on the crease of the cigarette lighter socket (probably ciggie lighter related, I'll get a photo) - good condition, $50
  • woodgrain cup holders (mount in centre console under radio) - good condition, $25
  • woodgrain driver's side door switch plate, without switches - good condition, $25
  • woodgrain passenger door switch plates, without switches - good condition, $25 for all 3

That is all the woodgrain pieces that were in my prime edition when I got it, except for the wheel (which I have swapped with a woodgrain fan on SAU :) ), and would give your S2 a complete factory-standard woodgrain interior.

Please note that to the best of my knowledge the tiptronic gear surround will not suit series 1's as theirs is different (no tiptronic).

I think that the rest of the parts will fit series 1, but I can't guarantee it... recommend you try a search here first or ask someone.

Feel free to ask for photos, I have a digital camera and I'm not afraid to use it...

Cheers :P

    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
    • I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
