R33 Gts-T S1 Dash Plastics/facia Removal

[Nevastator]

I've had a look around the forums but cant seem to find a detailed guide to removing the dash facia.

I want to do it without damaging the plastic too much if at all as I'm planning on painting them something other than plain black.

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers

lol just finished mine today - thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/378425-how-do-you-seal-matte-flat-black/ checkout bottom of thread.

really easy.

1. take out ash tray.

2. undo 2 screws behind it

3. pull out bottom half of dash facia - may need a good tug.

4. undo 2 screws that are now exposed at the bottom of the remaining facia.

5. again, pull off facia, but be gentle and dont pull it out far as all the buttons are connected.

6. while it is sitting on ur lap unplug hazard button, rear demister, clock, temp sensor and on the right side the mirror control.

done

you may want to take off the steering surround so that it doesnt scratch it, or be really careful

When you put it back on make sure you plug the internal temp sensor and hose for your air con back in (just to the left of your steering wheel)

It's easy to forget and if you do your auto climate control won't work properly (will be hot on all temps except 18 degrees)
