Does anyone know wtf is going on with my dash

Wen it heats up slightly it goes tack n looks like it's sweating

Once cooled down looks chalky

Leaves no residue wen you rub your hand or a cloth over

So bizzar

Pretty much gona but a whole new dash from Nissan for 1200

Can anyone shed some light on this topic

Thanks

A lot of threads about it on myG37.

Seems to be cars that have had a lot of sun exposure over their life.

Mine has a touch of it too in a couple of spots, just gets a bit sticky when its left in the sun.

I always us a sunshade behind the screen when I park it & it seems to keep it in check.

There was talk of trying to get Nissan to do a recall, but I dont think that went anywhere.

Big job replacing the dash.

Cheers Mate.

Yeah Nissan would probly be like I don't think so

I might ask at my local they are pretty good at gettin around that sort of thing like recalls n warrentee issues even past the date.

Mines hammered a

I gotta pull it all part anyway to replace a steering wheel bezel so might just do the dash

Iv got a q60 speedo going in also.

Seems to be a problem from several manufacturers around 2007 to 2009. I left mine out in the sun for a bit and then 'polished' the sticky off with some bug and tar remover. That does work. Apparently acetone might help also, but be careful.

Edit: I should mention to wipe clean with water when finished

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.

      Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
