hi fellow members,

i recently bought my r34 gtt, and love everything about it. But the one thing is that the middle part of console and gauge holder scratches easy, along with driver and passenger power window panel...

is it possible to sand down the panels and re-spray them?

i know that it would be difficult to sand down in-between the air vents and around the power window buttons.

And the climate control looks hard to work with, looks as though you have to leave it. Has anyone done something similar? or do you just leave it looking old and scratched.:unsure::/

thanks.

you can use 3M CF look alike tape or get CF underlay done

I pretty sure few people in the forum has done it with interior parts to bring the R34 to a more modern look

not sure about painting

I did mine in real carbon, but hated it, to reflective for my taste, so now I used a special paint process , it looks like black flocking but durable as hell paint . matte black and matches the dash nice with all the molded in TV, and gauges.

you can also do hydroprinting to redo them, I'm checking on setting up a shop that does it in the near future. lasts just as long as car paint does.

you can redo it with lots of things but watch the reflective issues off the windshield. etc.

annoying as hell.

its piss easy to pull off the parts for respary and sanding, even the clear part of the AC controls comes off easy with a sharp thin knife, CA glue it back on when done.

and change your lights to LED while your at it, DAN666 on here sells the kits.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
