acetone was the only thing i told that might remove it. unfortunately that ddn't remove the blob dropped in the carpet

Stay well away from this! I use this chemical at work to desolve film, laquer (sp?), paint, etc. It will take the glue away, as well as your dash!

Try a product called SHELLITE, this is found near the metho. I use this to clear glue left from labels and it works 5X better than metho.

But your best bet might be glue remover, this will most probably be a variant of shellite.

predator666 may have a very good point, but try to remove it and if you are not happy then cover it. Nothing like one of those ricey stickers on your dash :bahaha:

:bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha:

which coles did u get the superglue remover from?

and thats the exact make of the stuff

I know there's a couple of brands of the stuff - but the brand I've got is "Magic".

Just about any coles or kmart will have it near the superglue.

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!!!!

if you see how much superglue my dash has you will freak. my dash has an actual plastic cover that goes over it and over time the glue has come unstuck. it's a 240Z btw.

seeing as how i will have to glue it back on though i don't think i should worry too much about getting it off.

the double sided tape that my safc is attatched to is fine

it holds really well

coles stores varys which lines of products it does sell

but usually there is at least 2 or 3 types of glue remover

Maybe stick one of those little Taco Bell bobbing head dogs on it with superglue ...

.... when you go to sell the car, tell the guy that you wont take any more money for the free gift you've included, even though you're unhappy to part with the novelty, you feel the car is nothing without the dog and therefor it must stay.

Problem solved !!! Must I think of everything :P

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
