Hey guys,

Got an r34, have spent the last few hours searching with no results so I am creating a new topic.

Firstly, I love the look of all 4 taillights on my r34 lighting up. Is there any way i can rewire the lights so when the brakes are applied all 4 lights, light up?? I have seen this done before and would love a guide, or any help in how I can go about doing this.

Secondly, I Installed a new headunit two weeks ago, and then last week pulled the console out again, to re paint over the factory centre console paint. Both of these times i scratched the outter centre console pretty badly. (around the centre console) im sure you all know where I mean as looking through pictures of other 34's They all seem to be scratched. How do i go about fixing this?? Is there anyway I can retrim/paint/cover this?? what is everyones opinion on how to go about fixing this?

Thanks for reading,

Any help/opinions at all will be greatly appreciated.

Nathan.

as far as i can tell you cant fix the scratches, my only suggestion is to have it re-trimmed if it bothers you that badly, that or buy new trim pieces that are un-scratched, unfortunatly not a lot of options

What could it be retrimmed with? I'm not sure what the material actually is?

What do you think these pieces are worth in decent condition?

wouldnt have a clue, considered buying some and having a go at re-trimming them myself with a nice material in a colour to match the rest of the interior.

Try Nisswreck

Rush how could you retrim it considering its like a plastic??

Nuffsaid have you got any info on how to do it at all?

a materail/fabric glue spread evently over the surface should hold the material in place nicely, let it dry for a while and put it back in the car

I believe the plastic surround the whole area ,you can order it from Nissan , not sure on the price, i know Vic member Ashneel is looking into this exact thing as well, i have asked him to get me a price as well.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
