You're very gifted in what you do Pete, along with your knowledge in plastics :yes:

I've been extremely impressed at how you made up from scratch, these hexagonal caps for my LMGT4 GT500 wheels below! :wub:

In fact, you were meticulous! :wub:

Your dash modification is superb!

Thanks Terry and guys.

Steering wheel is from a S15, air bag is from a R34 manual as is the clock spring to run the electrics for the crusie control.

Switches on the S/wheel are from a R34 auto.

ARTZ thats a nice piece of work also.

I wanted to keep the aircon vent sensor so I had to move it over to the left from where the boost guage sits now.

The cruise control unit its self is an aftermarket unit but I didnt want to put the extra control arm on my steering column surround as there is no real space for it.

Wiper side you cant see it and if you try and mount it on the blinker side arm the instructions are upside down.

I found a factory unit on a four door auto non Hicas R33 and tried to take it out but the wiring was a total nightmare.

It was wiried through the auto and had its own computer to run it.

As well as this it doesnt have the same clock spring arrangement like a Hicas fitted car but disc under the steering wheel to transfer the signals from the factory cruse switch on the original wheel.

I then striped the after market control arm ran off/on wires from it to the original dash switch and wires to the R34 clock spring wiring.

I reconfigured the auto switches so that left side is the SET/COAST function and the right side is the ACCELERATE/RESUME function.

Thats a shortened version of how I did it and let me say it was all b%$tard to figure out !

  • 4 weeks later...

RB2600 - Nope wasnt me the Nismo guage ! But I got a spare one if you are interested !

sonicz - The bottons on the right turn the cruise unit off and on and the folding mirror switches are are next to them.

You cant see it because the angle of the photo hides it behind the steering wheel !

And all the R33s Ive seen have had them !

Looks very cool and professional. What are all those buttons on the right? Cruise control, fog lamps? where is your mirror adjustment knobs.

Are electric foldable mirrors a rare option on r33s?

Thought they were standard? Think all the 33's I've seen have had it. They were all turbo so not sure if that made a difference

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
