hey guys

was thinking bout doing some interior work on door trims, and plastic panels around.

wanna know if i was to spray paint door trims with adhesion primer and then a diff colour would this look weird?

and also does any body have any colour scheme ideas for an interior of an r33 s1? white in colour.

i had thought about white/fusion green? what do u guys think?

Greatest bit of advice... check the weather forcast before hand. I sprayed the top coat on mine, left it to dry while i went to the shops, come back and apparantly it was very windy and wet, there is now a fine coating of dirt, twigs and what i think is hair caked into the paint of my center console.... Now i have to wait for it to dry so i can sand it back and start all over again!

Yes you need a special vinyl spray paint and you absolutely must have all waxes out of the original vinyl other wise the first warm day it will lift off.. also becareful with white as it can reflect alot of extra glare

The vynil spray works well on interiors, we did a AE86 sprinter from the brown to black, looks like its always been black.. quick qipe down with thinners and away it goes...

as for colour combinations, you'll have to look at whats available, here is the VHT range

Colours available: Gloss Jet Black (SP941), Black Satin (SP942), White Satin (SP943), Buckskin Tan Satin (SP944), Chocolate Brown Satin (SP945), Silver Satin (SP946), Red Satin (SP947), Burgundy Satin (SP948), Dark Blue Satin (SP950), Medium Blue Satin (SP951), Light Blue Satin (SP952), Light Grey Satin (SP953), Charcoal Grey (SP954), Saddle Tan (SP955), Midnight Blue Satin (SP956), Dove Grey Satin (SP958), Dark Rose Red Satin (SP959), Camel Tan (SP960).

thinners is easy enough, just wipe down the vinyl and let it dry then apply an adhesion primer or just straight into colour?

i really want white and green, will match my photo i have in my head about the colour combo. will have ti just hunt around for the green.

also do you apply a clear on top? or is that a waste of time on vinyl?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
