Hello, I am in need of some help removing my R33 Series 2 Dash. I have searched SAU and their is nothing specific for the removal of the Series 2 dash with SRS, only the Series 1. I am removing the dash so I can replace the heater core, I am removing the whole dash so I can get it flocked all at the same time. I can currently rock the bottom of the dash, and a bit of the top but it feels like it is still secured somewhere. Please excuse my following poor photo and photoshop skills. The yellow and blue dots are bolts, screw and nuts that I have removed from the dash so far. The 2 blue dots are for the lower piping of the climate control, I removed that so I could get a better look at the Airbag. I managed to get a flat head screw driver and pop up the front of the Airbag panel, I then thought there may be more, so I ran it around the back (hence why it is not bent up) but I was wrong. I managed to see a "metal plate" where the red line is, and the 2 red dots are where the panel clips are. There is also 2 philips head screws holding the clips in place. I think if I remove those clips I could get to the Torx bolts holding the airbag in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I manage to get the dash out, I shall do a DIY with pictures so other people can find out how to do it also. Edit: Yes, the battery has been disconnected for over 1 month, so the Airbag hopefully won't deploy.
