cant help u with a guide but mate of mine has done it, pretty basic stuff. from memory the dash surround (round the cd player air con etc) was just held in by clips. theres a screw behind the ashtray, and you unscrew the gearknob the pull the bit around it straight up, think theree MIGHT be a couple of screws holdin this down (might need dash surround out first to allow you to pull it up)

the actal dash itself is a lil bit complicated to get out, cant remember where the screws etc are, but drop your steering wheel right down and sorta flip it forward towards you, although you dont need to pull it right out to get at the LED's

sorry cant be of too much help, but its better than nothing. mate did it following a guide also, i'll try and get him to link it

Im assuming that you wanted to change the instrument cluster lights. Very simple job and it will only take around 20min. It involves taking off your whole instrument cluster to do so. Also taking off your steering wheel as well.

1) Take off the steering wheel

2) There should be a screw on top of the dashboard. Undo that and there should be 2 clips at the bottom. Take that whole piece off.

3) The instrument cluster is now exposed. There should be a screw on top and 2 on the bottom. Undo those and carefully take off the whole instrument cluster piece.

4) At the back there should be 3 harnesses plugged in. Undo those and take it out.

5) Flip the cluster around, and you should see plastic sockets sticking out. These contain the light bulbs. Change it and put it all back together.

and there your cluster will have a new colour...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
