I've been so busy lately, but I've finally done my gear boot surround :thumbsup:

After I finished that, got a little bored and decided to redo my climate control, so the red and blue bits are visible.

Here's my gear boot surround and my new and improved climate control:

oh yeah see what ya mean, because of the heat we have in aus, wont the thin fiddle bit lift or peal?

Gear boot looks effin great though! Cant wait!

Do you mean the blue and red bit on the climate control?

Well I've spent long enough with it, to have taken out the blue and red bits, then tucked the vinyl into the holes and shoved the bits back in lol, so it should stay :thumbsup:

I tip my hat to you charles, you do a good job

He's already done the 3-gauge holder!

I have, but it's not perfect enough for me to do it for other people :P

I keep practising on mine until I can get it perfect, then post some pics up :)

I've porobably wrapped each piece of my interior 2-3 times already lol

Great job Charles!

Nice and neat.

By this stage I expect to see your whole car wrapped in Carbon Fibre wrap. :(

lol don't be surprised if you rock up to a meet one day and my whole car is CF, this shit is addictive :P

Once I finish a piece, I just crave for another and start to shake if I don't hahah

I'm so glad you redid it to display the red/blue bits - it was really bugging me and something I was gonna make sure I did.

Did you end up snapping the red/blue bits out and then re-gluing them back in after wrapping and cutting, or just cutting around the edges with a shaft craft knife?

I am really interested in doing my R33's interior in CF aswell, :) and the mirrors.. and the door pillars.. sounds like it would look tough as :) haha, just needa get some money :(

Maybe I'll start a group wrap going? :banana:

$30 per pair of B pillars! Anyone interested? :)

I had to snap the plastic bits that holds it together at the back, but the thing is, I didn't need to glue to back on, as I've said, I folded the vinyl into the holes where the blue and red bits goes, so by forcing them back in, it's a nice tight fit, but just to be safe, I just stuck a off cut piece of CF to hold it there :)

hell yeh get a group wrap going :) haha, would be awesome, for me to ship my parts to you and back would cost a mint :banana: haha =] ill give you a bell once i got my major service and suspension done :( then we can have a nice old chat c( =

Well if you can get 4 other friends of yours to send down all your B pillars, then I'll do them for $30 per pair for yous :)

By then, postage might only be $2-3 each :)

Yea, it shouldn't be a problem. If you want, PM me what you want done and I can give you a quote :)

hehe, you think if i sent you the money and all my parts i want done youll do them? could be a big box :( haha love the look of this stuff

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
