search for 'shitty r34 interior' or something like that, there is a large thread covering this.

- pull out the ashtray and remove the screw behind it

- remove gear knob by unscrewing it

- pull up the gear stick surround, (there are small clips holding it, just pull gently upward

- remove the wire harnesses going into the back of the cig lighter.

- wrap a flat screw driver with a thin cloth and pry out the a/c vents from either side of the centre console surrounds (dont be scared this part is simpler than it sounds)

- undo the 2 screws that were behind the gear stick surround near the ashtray/ cig lighter

- undo the 2 screws you revealed from removing the a/c vents

you now have access to the cage holding the a/c unit and headunit

4 screws hold the remaining piece of fascia around the a/c unit and headunit that can be unscrewed from behind the cage

If you have a triple gauge cluster, there are 2 screws that hold that in from the front, which were also revealed when removing the a/c vents, unscrew these and the unclip the wiring harnesses and you can now take off the cluster.

to access the plastics around the window controls on either door you need to remove both door skins by unscrewing all of the screws holding it in and the pulling on them gently to pop out the clips holding the skins on from the inside.

don't pull too hard as you then need to lift the door skin upward to get the top section out from where the window slides down.

Finally you unclip the wiring harnesses running behind the door skin to the window controls on the door skin.

You can then take the door skin completely off and unscrew and screws and pop out the small clips holding on the plastic surrounds, take your time to make sure you don't snap any.

After all that, have fun spraying, and do all of this in reverse order to refit.

that seems to technicall for me lol

do you rekon i could just get some paint and go round the areas or you think that will result in a shitty turnout ?

Honestly bud,

It would look terrible if you were to just paint over it, not to mention do you really want to use spray paint inside your car?

It's not at all technical, it just sounds like it, but really, it should take you no more than 5-10mins at the very most to remove all of the centre console section, the doors are a little bit trickier and require a bit of fiddling around, but i think its worth it.

But i definatly would not recommend spraying the parts without pulling them out and just scouring them with some metho (again, that is also very simple to do)
