Hi Guys doe's anyone know which site to go on for directions on taking apart the r34 dash and 3 pod guages as i am installing blue leds in the dash ??????

Please any info would be good.

Don't know where directions are...

but you start by pulling out the ash tray & unscrewing the one screw behind it, you'll need to unclip the cig lighter aswell.

Then get a very thin flathead screwdriver & wedge it in between where the air con vents meet the sidewall of the console & VERY gently pry the air con vents out, again unclip the plug for the hazard lights. This should reveal 4 screws, 2 on top & 2 on bottom that holds the air con unit & radio/DIN.

To get the 3 pod holder off just unscrew the 2 screws holding it in place & slide the holder out.

Hope that helps

Hi Guys doe's anyone know which site to go on for directions on taking apart the r34 dash and 3 pod guages as i am installing blue leds in the dash ??????

1.Remove the ash tray,unscrew the screw behind there

2.flip up the gear stick surrounding(right hand corner,near the hand break)unclip the switch that activates the stearing wheel option)

3.unscrew the screws ethor side of the center consol at the back(on the side)two more at the front( you will see them once you take of the gear stick surrounding

4.unclip the air vents with the hazzard light switch(unclip the switch

5.then to unclip the surrounding to the air con buttons,pull the hot/cold switch off,unscrew the nut behind the hot/cold switch,unclip the surrounding(be very careful the clips break easily,as do the air con buttons)undo 4 screws holding the air con in

6.now two screws holding the tree piece gauge cluster,undo them then remove

7. open the glovebox all the way,undo the two screws holding that in

8.undo the air vents at the side of the dash(just unclip)be very careful as the clips can break easily(from memory the are bolts behind the air vents

9.same as the air vent above(and the other side aswell)

10.section under the stearing wheel,from memory there are about four screws in each corner(the unclip the switchs

11.the smaller peice,which is under/above the stearing wheel(four more screws,then unclip)

12.then the plastic section around the speedo,two screws on up the top,one in the left corner ,hen unclip(four screws holding the speedo in,then remove)

13.middle section were the stereo sits,there's screws some were,cant rember were,but you should be able to see them,then remove it

14.thats about as far as i go, you might get some info on the passenger side airbag before you go any further,you dont want that to go off

im,sure someone eles can add the missing sections,but from the you should be able to work the rest out

Bloody hell.

I simply got a coat hanger, bend a small hook on one end, stuck it through the aircon centre vent and pulled. Out comes the vent.

Unscrew the two screws, remove the 3 gauge pod.

So it's that easy ? I want to install Sabre guages in the 3 guage bezel to replace the ugly stock ones.

I replaced my stock gauges with 3 autogauge smoke series gauges a few weeks ago. Took me a few hours to get everything done including wiring, wasnt really that difficult if you arent scared to fiddle around with the wiring. I'll try to take some pics of what it looks like and get them up.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
