Hey guys,

Just wanted to ask what product(s) you use to protect your r32 dashboard. My current dashboard has bubbled as i have seen in many r32's. I managed to buy a 2nd hand dash off some1 on SAU who was wrecking a gts4 which is not bubbled.

As such I dont want this dash to go down the same track so im wondering what is best to use to protet it, im going to buy the biggest UV windscreen protector i can find to keep the sun off it obviously as i know what that can do to it, but i have heard armorall can dry out the plastic and cause the plastic to crack. Apparently it makes it look shiny and new but when it dries up it takes all the moisture with it...

Most interested for your feedback!!

Best bet is to just keep the sun off of it and keep it some place cool.

Yeah deff, but when i clean the car inside and out, i like it all to look immaculate, which is why i used to use armorall on the current dash. So beside covering it from the sun, I wanted to know what products would protect the plastic and make it look its best...

Probably not the response you were lookin for but when i had my GTR i bought a dash mat for the dash.

Ok it doesnt look as good with it on, but it sure as hell looks after it.

I got mine from Autoworx in Perth, not sure who else sells them but i only payed about $40 - $60 from memory.

Is a great investment. Had mine on for well over a year and the dash didnt bubble or crack at all.

Haha, I was wondering if there would be a way to get a dash mat for a JDM car like the 32. I am not a fan of dash mats cause to me they are the same as a car bra, why protect it all the time if its always covered and u rarely see it in its full glory.

However i was thinking of having a mat on when i park the car etc then just leave it in the boot or whatever when im in the car, but might be better to just use the UV window cover so the rest of the car is protected from the sun too...

      Rb26 iron block limit

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Build an 800hp motor. Make it as bullet proof as you want, you WILL still break things. Like, the rest of the car. Heck, even as a dead stock car, things will still break, but the more power, the more everything else will let go easier. From gearbox gear sets, to extra stress on the chassis/mounts, more stress on diff, axles, tailshaft, even the suspension mounts. Check out the motorsport build that last year went to a Bosch motor sport ABS setup, and now can brake so damn hard it's twisting mounts for suspension/subframe etc. Now if the brakes can do it, imagine what happens with super grippy tyres and 800hp in a low gear...   Shit, I'm presently out fixing the girlfriends daily driver that rarely sees past 3,000rpm and is used to cart the dogs around in. Everything WILL break. If you don't want it to break, don't drive it. And then laugh, as it will still break without even being driven!

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      ECUMaster is an Australian company from memory, been around a while, and seem to actually play really well on more unique engine setups. Seems to be more of them being used in the states, and they seem to support more cylinders than most others.   My opinion on stock ECU/Nistune with he AFM, is you can tune around the issue of stalling. It's still a bit of a band-aid, and not the most perfect smoothest setup, but it can make it drive able and not an absolute PITA. But you're still compromising. A vent to atmosphere BOV has the same issue as no BOV with regards to the AFM. Both make the ECU think more air is entering the engine than there really is. And I can't find any hard science/decent evidence that supports the claims all the "you MUST run a BOV of some sort of you'll blow the turbo up". About the only one some people can give of why is "lag between gear shifts", and that is only an issue when your boost source for the waste gate is pre throttle body. I ran my boost source for the TD07S off the inlet manifold. Didn't have weird boost spiking issues, didn't have boost control issues, and on a gear shift the wastegate slammed shut, which meant all exhaust gases would be keeping it going round and round and not waiting for the wastegate to shut again when I stepped off the clutch and back on the loud pedal. It came back on boost in the next gear pretty much instantly.   ECU / tune / BOV choice I think really comes down to a lot more factors than just what you've stated. And personally, especially for daily driving, recirc setup for the BOV, or no BOV. I dislike the really loud BOV when everyone is taking off from the lights etc.

      All motors are consumables. This thing costs $250,000-500,000 and makes 640hp/430 KW, naturally asipirated. It has a competitive advantage in being more reliable than other cars it competes against. They rate these engines in hours before rebuilds. Are you going to out-engineer half million GT3 car manufacturers in a garage? People really need to be honest with what they are going to do, and remember that 99.9% of the people on the internet are not honest with how they use their car and what it holds up to and how much power it makes and how easy/hard it was. Anyone worrying about the block limit of anything is the kind of person that will be unable to do a single track day, for example, perhaps not even a single session. Build the kind of car you would want to have if you could never tell a single soul about it and nobody would ever know.

      Atessa pump questions

      By gte · Posted

      For anyone who finds this via a search  An s14 alternator connector and Silvia Fusebox/350z headlight connector can be used. Get the non pigtail version of the alternator connector so you can use 12 gauge wire for the pump.    I am using  https://ebay.us/m/ToEEmM And https://conceptzperformance.com/czp-xenonhid-headlight-connector-w-pigtails-8-pin-male-nissan-350z-03-08-z33-or-jdm-fusebox-for-silvia-s14-czp-26060-m-8pin_p_19166.php
