Hey Guys I have recently just had my interior refinished in carbon (well carbon type finish)

Its not Vinyl wrap its kind of well...... in the paint (but not airbrushed either !!!)

The guy who did it for me only charged me $180 for the two pieces of dash ( Thats with 2 coats of clear 2 pack paint too !!)

I was so pleased with it I got him to do the window switch too :) (another $50)

....... for $230 my car has gone from rough looking, to brand new out of the factory

let me know your thoughts and comments ... ( i have the Din blank on order should be here this week)

Looks a little odd to be honest, if its meant to look like carbon firbee the designer failed a little. But hey if you like it screw what anyone else thinks XD, I like a nice stock factory looking interior to be honest. But it is neat and done properly atleast.

It must have been crook looking before! :P

Nah srsly, the workmanship is tops.

The finish may not be everyone's taste as many here are picky to the extent that it MUST look as close to C/F as possible...

But hey, I've seen some new cars with faux C/F that don't look as good as that :)

Care to post up the city you're in?

Hey guys thanks for the honest comments :)

I realise it doesn't look exactly like carbon fibre but to be honest its only 1 tenth of the price and i really like the pattern :)

reference the foot well..... ha ha ha ha what can I say .... when it had the rubbish interior (was all damaged) I seemed less likely to keep it lookng good as no matter how much i cleaned it it still looked poo..... its been clean for a week now........ (we shall see how long that lasts though lol)

Where am i located ?? Birkdale (south Brisbane) But it wasnt me who did it ... his name was mrcustomise.com.au (hope I dont get introuble for posting that ......)

Yeah the guys who did it had lots of different types of carbon effect I just kind of liked this one best .... I realise carbon is very dark but i wanted something a bit lighter so this is what i picked :)

yeah the finish is brilliant and ref the pattern stretch ..... that's apparently impossible to stop as that's how it allows even coverage over the entire product... and to be fair I don't think it ruins the overall effect especially when you consider the price ... I'm still very very happy :)

Awesome looking result mate. Really transforms your interior from the basic r33 look. Great cheap mod imo for updating the aging interior. May consider doing something similar myself in the near future.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
