Great news!!!

Is there any chance you can send my first/ASAP?

I'll shout you a beer when you come down to Gold Coast later this year.

I just finish reinstalling the air conditioner system back on the car and left a few parts out waiting for your white face dial so I don't have to rip them off again.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeee :P

:P 9krpm, i will send them all off together bro... ill get some stuff to send them in tomoro afternoon, and ill send them off on friday.. thats the best i can do mate. Hope thats ok!

paulr33, I have never even seen that sort of set up on a skyline! I know it looks like the S2 R33 but what does those lights mean?

Im sure they would make them, but im sorry to say the time has expired for this deal... Maybe if i get a few people interested i will do it again, Sorry mate!

OI! If anything ladies first! lol

kidding kezz, whenever is good!

thanks kezza

BTW how much did you pay for your big blue leds for the speedo? I checked autobarn, the small one are cheap but the large one for the dash are way too much for a led.

well im unsure dude, cause i made my led lighting b4 they even started to bring out pre fabed ones!

if you want the numbers to stay as bright, i would keep the original ones in, and add a blue led on each side of the needle post.

leds are one way, so you have to find the + side of each track that runs around the light fixture, when you look at the back of the dials were the plugs plug in and the lights screw into you will see off one of the plug tracks (ILL+) follow this track to find the +side of the lights you want to change,

The only problem i had with making my own is that the viewing angle of the les are narrow, and you have to point the led derectly at the plactic glass light catches around the dials!

I think the pre made ones have a better viewing angle of the leds so you wouldnt need to have them directly pointing. but hey it only cost me $5 to make one in total!

Like i said b4 i can make them up if people need them, i build them with resistors. but not with diod tho,

so as long as you can see the + side of the plugs they will work, if you dont and they will blow.

hit me up if anyone needs them, i knocked off a heap of light fixtures from the scrappers.,lol

Got my dial faces today woohoo :)

Now, it looks obvious that they have to be cut out, around the border is easy, but what is the easiest way to cut out all the holes, for needles, screws ect?

Ill give you a tip, dont cut the centre circles out fully, they are larger than the dial cover things.

Good on me for finding that out!

yay for you!

wanna come over and do mine?? lol

Ok, done them now.

there was some issues with the needle of the rev catching, but that was fixed. For the pins that the needles sit on, cut the holes large otherwise the paper sits up and the needle rubs.

On another note, they are good during the day, but I NEED new globes as the dash is damn dim. Also have to adjust it a little bit as the numbers underneath dont 100% line up, which is needed.

All in all, result is good, but still some issues.

Cheers Kez

Sounds like it's quite fiddly then, gonna wait till mum gets me some scalpels from work :(

I was actually thinkin bout how big the holes should be cut out, so it's the centre holes for the needles that have to be cut a bit smaller?

What about the rest of the holes, same size as what's printed?

Forgot to thank you, cheers kezza

Edited by beastien

A scalpel will be no good IMO. I did the first 2 holes with scalpels and they came out very...."sided"

I them starting using those scissors women use for the skin that covers your nails, they cut it off? Cuticles? They were great. Sharp, precise.

I need to find some brighter bulbs now.

Unfortunatly, the cyberstrok stuff 95% lines up with the lights underneath. For example, in the revs, the 5 is perfect, so is the 0, but the 2 and 3 are off by 1-2mm.... hmmm. I will see when i get brighter bulbs. Might get around to that this weekend?

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
