remember some time ago some product 'super glue remover' ??

if acetone works then metho should work nearly as well!

was the sperglue thing 1 of big kevs products?

The one I have here is "Magic" Brand.

It gets rid of the glue by applying it a few times and it breaks it down and you can wipe it away.

Don't know if it would leave a mark on your dash, best bet is to test it for colourfastness on a small spot of you dash which is out of view.

um.. i tried metho on mine which cleared some but not all of a mark i had on mine. I was initially worried the metho would eat away the plastic but it works a treat. I think you're stuffed as the super glue actually changes the chemical composition of the dash and bonds itself into the plastic molecules.

You could always paint it blue? hehe

coz double sided tape doesent hold hard enough

the superglue just form a thin plastic layer onto on the dash. It aint that a complex thing that it changes the molecules of the dash

nah man, predator is right. Dont' get me wrong but - This is Serious!!!

The molecules on your dash may have changed forever, I suggest you immediately go and visit a Chemical Engineer or someone who is experienced in dealing with the transformations of polymers and get some help!!!!

..........or just go buy some super glue remover!

:D

hey..stop that...

seriously - the idea of superglue is to form a bond between the glue and what it bonds to. For plastic it will seep into the plastic, and that is why it is so effective at what it does. While you can try superglue remover, it will probably still leave a stain in the dash as its below the outer layer - as you will probably find out.

Don't ask how it got there its a long story!!!

try it - it works really well (goes out and buys shares in super glue remover company)

But try it on a spot of paint you can't see first to check if it's gonna effect your paint.

inasnt - you can get some really stong double sided tape stuff, similar to the one that comes with an SAFC originally from a hardware store. It doesn't even leave a mark.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
