has anyone done this on a r34 with the popup screen? What extra steps are involved if anyone knows ???

Also does anyone know a good shadow silver/charcoal paint colour? I don't wanna do it up in black so as to leave a bit of contrast (like the original)

Oh and does anyone know if you can replace the led/light inside the radio/AC Unit ? my dash leds are blue and the radio/ac are green so I'd like to change these to blue as well when I take all of it out

Jack, any chance of taking a couple of piccies of your mates interior now with all of it back in place? Good work by the way, wish I had mates like you :P Cheers

In my first post I've got a recommended colour for the plastic, go to supercheap and check it out, it's a good match :)

So you sprayed them all white as an undercoat, and then used the saturn black as a 2nd coat??

What about those duplicolor brands.. are they any good? they have the pewter color that matches nissan sonic silver which the guy from autobarn showed me from the book.

Do you Guys spray clear coatings after applying the paint?

I used 3 coats of clear coat on the trim parts I painted. A bit overkill and when the sun was out the gauge cluster would reflect a bit onto the windshield

would probably need 2 coats max for the gauge cluster, put as many coats as you like on the rest :(

I posted these somewhere before but here's my effort:

I used powerplus paints too

hey guys, how do you take off the aircon surround??

hmm okay i had a look at it,

aircon is gonna be a tricky one to do with the red & blue temps around the dial which i want to keep.

ill do everything else tho.

see how i go

good to do over the xmas break :)

looks very nice .. I'm gonna do the same to mine but do the vents and aircon and perhaps the top lcd cover (I have that popup screen) in black. Then find some nice silver pedals and a silve bezel insert for the console and the car shouldn't look so 1998 anymore (maybe a bit more like 1999) :banana:

Speaking of which I'm going to go and rip out my (broken) lcd now ..wish me luck!

ok whatever you do don't use SEPTONE paint/primer .. this shit is just evil, I wasted 4-5 hours only to realize the paint itself is a POS. Will go looking for Powerplus paints tommorow.

i wanna do mine but the only thing that worries me is the AC controls. the blue and red thing around the knob did you guys just tape it up and spray painted the whole thing???

and can some one provide a step to step process and dismantling the ac unit???

the whole centre console (ac, stereo etc) slides out .. it's just 4 screws holding it in there. The blue/red on the AC is piss easy, just take them out as well as the clear plastic and spray the rest. Then glue them back in afterwards, it's no big deal trust me.

yeah it's all just clipped in ... the only thing you should be careful about is removing the vents - use a thin screwdriver from the left hand side and they'll pop out too. Make sure to protect the corners with masking tape to avoid accidental scratches when poping out vents and sliding out the console etc

To reveal the 4 screws holding it all in place, remve the gear shifter surround (pops out once you remove the screw behind the ashtray) and the vents - don't try removing any other fascias whilst the console is still in there. The vents will reveal the remaining 2 screws.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
