mikyel .. you cut off the plastic melted bits and glue it back on after your finished.. I painted over mine tho ... Looks shit..

RGR you slide ur fingers to the back of the gauges .. close to the front window pull toward you and pop it out .. pull out the air con vents remove the screws and then remove all the interior parts and spray

I went and bought myself some black paint to fix up the window switch surrounds and we'll see how that goes..

Can anyone just give me a quick idea how to get them out? Do they just pop out?

Hey Dan,

Top job mate :closedeyes:

got a question, where did you get the nissan paint from & were you able to get it in spray can containers?

Where did you buy the Desert Rose metallic from too please.

I've been looking to do this for a long time, you've just given me the motivation :)

Cheers

For those that know how bad the factory interior paint is on the R34's (seems to dissolve in the Aussie heat)

I've found a low-semi gloss alternative that seems pretty good, Powerplus PJ9184 "SNB 150 Desert Rose Metallic"

Just soak/scrub the original paint off with metho, takes no time at all, prime and hit with this stuff and in comes out looking pretty swish again.

Looks like I'll be doing this too when my rear bar goes on.

Whilst the car is in the shop, I'll pull the bits out, clean em up, and get them sprayed the same colour as the car, then layer on some clear coat.

Top work Dan.

How hard is it to pull the window controls apart?

sam ( im pretty sure thats ur name, from memory I got told off for spelling ur user name wrong :closedeyes:) neways to remove the panels u have to remove the left hand passenger side door cover and take out screws under neath it .. a fair few screws..

Drivers side rear pops up disconnect winders etc and you pull back and slides out .. wish the passenger side did that .. i ended up finding out after dark and doing it in the night .. which was not kewl!

Hope that helps ..

Just a tip for people thinking of respraying over the crap paint .. I did it and under heat/wet conditions the paint bubbles .. so sand it back ppl

NPS! Hell yes! and what makes it every shitter is that you dont have to remove just two screws its bolted in there harder than metal to a tank .. serious about 10 screws in the whole thing ..

neways enjoY!

How the hell did you mask up the red and blue temp adjuster? That's great work.

I've decided I will definently be doing this to my car whilst my rear bar and skirts get sprayed. I'm going to do all the crappy painted bits in the same colour as the outside of the car.

Would you be able to take a picture of the whole centre console including the gear stick surround?

thanks

you dont mask anything up. you need to take of the face on the ac unit. I then used a soldering iron and melted the lugs holding them in the back. When i was finished just put them back into place and melted the plastic back over again. too easy. I will try to get that pic as soon as i can

Tamiya (model) spray paint I tells ya....no priming necessary, great range of colours and they are meant for plastic

Is Tamiya paint safe for UV Light (from the sun), and safe for high temps (cars get up to 70-80 degrees in summer)?

I picked up a can of semi-gloss black, but want to know its a good long-term paint before i use it!

Hmm can't figure out how to remove the dash/units. I've removed the ash tray, unscrewed the screw and popped out the plastic surround around the gear shifter. (tiptronic). However, I can't seem to pull the plastic forward, as the other plastic for the P, R, N, D, 3, 2 seems to be in the way. I have tried lifting this up, but it seems that only the left side comes up and I can't remove it.

Please help!

Nick

Supercheap stock all the Powerplus spray packs and will have desert rose metallic in stock in all stores...the factory silver Nissan colour was from Autobarn, they make to order.

You need to give it a bit of force to slip it over the PRND32 section, go from the back forward though, there is a little screw driver lug on the right hand side (just left of the rear of handbrake boot) to help you pop the clips.

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
