hey guys ive come to the conclusion that the dash surround of my r33 needs to be stripped off and re-painted as there is alot of scratches and chips in the paint on it. Also the gearstick and handbrake boots are in shitehouse condition so ill be pickin up a new set of them through the group buy section :thumbsup: i was just looking for some opinions on the colour combo that i should go for. extra info: ill also be sending the door trims away to have that velour bit changed to white leather aswell. dash surround and section to be painted are pictured below

Hi guys,

I have a S2 33 gtst and I'm going to go gloss black on the dash and tan leather on the gear boot, park brake boot, door trims and seats (only on the shit worn out bits, not the central coloured bits). Id also like to get the steering wheel and park brake handle done, but I'm not sure how it would come out/cost...

hey i can take a pic for you when my gear gaiter and handbrake surround come in but mine is white dash surround, white face gauges with soon to be white and black gear gaiter and handbrake surround.

Depends on your cars exterior colour in my oppinion (mines white so when looking from the outside in it suits it perfectly)

thatd be awesome if you could get us some pics of that, yeah mine is also white so i figured it would look pretty awesome....not getting many agree with me yet :thumbsup:

thanks heaps mate

do the dash surround in a nice glossy piano black finish. It's a great colour and not over the top.

And with the boots, it really depends. If you are going to get you seats retrimmed aswell, go for whatever colour you want to do the seats in, and if you're not going to get them retrimmed then go for black.

And also with the door trims don't do them white. Once again do them black unless you're going to get the seats retrimmed aswell.

I think that you should do the dash surround in a nice glossy piano black finish, and them do the seats/door trims/boots in something like red leather.

Post up pics when you've made your choices and got it all done.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
