The problem I've found is that these panels have a texture to them. So sanding them removes the texture, which means you'd have to re-sand it all, and re-texture it all in some uniform fashion. I

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

$15 vs $140

I was first !! I think ... went black, silver and then tungsten. Def a nice colour and not too blingy, goes with any interior.

I've read through this forum quite a few times now and when it comes to the red and blue lines on the air-con I'm a bit confused http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/st...fault/blink.gif From what I've read you melt the tabs holding the knob to remove it but from what I can see the lines aren't part of the knob but more a part of the whole air con panel? From the pics people have posted they have painted the raised part around the lines too? do you just mask the lines? Are my eye's deceiving me? Help.........

when you pop of the fascia around the aircon you will notice that the red and blue sections, and also the plastic panel covering the display all have several small round dots of what looks like melted plastic rather than screws or clips (the plastic panel does 2 small clips, one either end as well as the melted dots)

you have 2 options, one is to melt those dots so that you can pull out the plastic panel and the red and blue bits, or you can do what i did, and use a sharp knife (stanley/stencil knife) to cleanly slice off the little plastic melted pieces which will then allow the plastic panel and red and blue pieces to simply pull out.

when you want to put it all back together, simply slide it back into place and use a tiny amount of super glue or something similar and just drip it onto the holes that the red and blue and plastic panels are held in from, dry in a few minutes and presto! you retained the colored parts of your aircon

Ahhhh now I get it :P

Yours looks great BTW! Did you use metho then plastic primer then paint?

Thanks.

cheers bud, and yeah i just used the metho first, came off pretty easy, dried it with a rag and waited 10mins or so, hit it with a few coats of plastic primer, and then the paint with however many coats it took to get it nice and even.

that said, i need to pull out the gear stick surround and ac vents again and re-paint them cos luckily you can only see it on certain angles but i didnt get a very even coat :)

does the astray lid need to be removed? or just dip the whole thing face down into metho?

Yeah just throw it in and give it a scrub. Just mask it up neatly when spraying so you only do the cover.

Hey David are you gonna be using the existing tripleguage wiring loom for MFD or a new one? If you're not gonna need the existing loom would you consider selling it? I converted my R34 from the pop-up screen to triple guages but I don't have the correct wiring loom for the triple guages..

      I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.

      To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.

      Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.
