Lots of work, was my family's farm bike for years.

Saw a mint one in Tokyo last year and got inspired. Hope to restore it with my kid as a project for him so he can learn to ride

Yes! I want to do this!! 

Making a custom layout for my digital dash.
Thoughts?

Seems to fit the theme of MAGA but more arrogance.

Might see if I can make the background change on redline for a combination of the two.

Powertune digital dash.

Basically a raspberry pi

AH. I remember when that was launched. I threw the image of mine up and the kid knew exactly who I was when I did it.

I'm doing another currently from scratch this time. 5" wide screen.

Not much to update.

 

Dash insert turned up today and I test fitted the screen. Had to slightly enlarge the mount holes due to differences in the Powertune vs. the insert. (As they are both 3D printed).

Waiting on the pilot lights (Turning up Tomorrow/Friday).

 

Waiting for stage 4 restrictions to ease up before I get a wheel alignment and put some km's on it.

Haven't done much lately with the car.


Test fitted the dash on the weekend.
Just need to order some more wiring and DTM plugs.


Then drill the holes for the led pilot lights.
(Indicators, handbrake, high beam and alarm).


Might do fuel level through the Emtron as it has an input.

That's nice, how's the quality of the dash facia? 

Pretty happy with it considering the price and lack of support for R31 things in general.
You can tell it's 3D printed, from the back. But otherwise it has a nice paint/finish added to the front size.

I hear crickets....why don't I hear hits of big rpm and Trust goodness!!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Changed position at work and am working EU hours. Daytime is daddy daycare and sleep :P

Hopefully next month more time for fun as I will split my shift between EU and AU time.

Still need to finish wiring the dash and putting some Bosch (oil/fuel) sensors to the Emtron before I drive it again.
Ordered the bits this week, so hopefully get stuck into the wiring with my brother in law once restrictions are lifted.

Very little updates here.
With the new job hours and some other life plans I've had even less time for this.

Still have the dash apart and cannot drive it. Chequered Tuning is booked out for the rest of 2020, so I'm in no rush to get km's on it to get back on the dyno.

So I used this as an excuse for more goodies for the interior & change the standard Trust dump pipe to a Vband as it's a pain to remove and put back on.
Hopefully take it on some drives over the xmas break :)

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
