ah looks good. Is the carbon fibre dash lighter then the factory one? I haven't been on the inside of a 35 so i have no idea what all the dash is made of. Does look pretty damn cool though.

yes there are weight savings in the carbon dash but the weight savings in terms of bang for your buck are no where near as great as replacing the bonnet/doors etc. we have already picked all the 'low lying fruit' in terms of weight savings

What you gonna do about glare off the carbon dash?

Looks porn tho :D

The glare will be insignificant. Due to the speeds at which this car will be travelling, light will actually be bending around the car, therefore eliminating any threat of glare off the carbon dash. :whistling:

I've got one of those old school terry toweling XXXX bar mats I was thinking of laying across the dash to keep it from cracking in th sun

Brilliant explanation :cheers:

Polarized lense glasses will filter the glare. Would be a shame to cover up such porn with XXXX mats!

    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
