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)

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.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
