Give The Dashboard Centre a call. They can pretty much do anything you want. Just had the plastic dash/gear box surround of mine coated in a carbon fibre finish. They did a great job. :D

This was taken in pretty crap light, but once you're in the car it looks great. My old one just looked tacky cus it had peeled. This gives it a nice edge.

Well I had looked at doing this myself (sanding back and respraying) but was too scared that i'd stuff it up.

They quoted $500 cus they HATE having to peel the black film off the dash. They said if I did it myself, it'd be $300, ended up getting it all for $280. It is a lot, but just looks nuts compared to the half decomposed crap that was there. That also included a massive fracture through the entire dash and smoothing over the antenna switch housing.

I understand why they charge that much to do the peeling, its a crappy job, but if you've got the time, why not? :)

They need your dash for a week to do it, or 2 if they sandblast it to get the film off. They can do any kind of colour or finish you like, I would NEVER do it, but their woodgrain comes up a treat.

*edit - oh and my mate and I did the boot install ourselves*

      AC Compressor

      You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.

      The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
