Ok this is baffling. How do I pull the left rear inside off to get to the TV tuner?? M35. Plenty of info for the older stags but none for the M35. If I ever successfully do it Imight put together a pdf of the M35 install.

I took four screws off the top panel, easy slip off. But the carpetted panel beneath it won't come off. I can see one black plastic plug, hard to remove without breaking it but the whole thing sems pretty solidly attached and I'm scared to pull too hard for fear of breaking something.

It can be difficult to get the panel off with out removing the floor. It will come out though with a bit of effort. I think you will have to remove the cover for the tools but this one is reasonable easy.

On the carpeted side panel, there is a black plug that needs to be removed by popping the top out (or maybe screw it), it is a bit difficult and you will need remove the panel next to the passenger seat over the rear wheel arch.

Hi Andrew

If you are only doing the TV tuner and not adding any other items at the same time you have all that you need. You didn't mention that you have Chooks TV tuner but I take that as a given.

I would say about 2 hours to do it all.

If you can remove the whole panel in the boot it will make it easier. Make sure you have some thing to secure the 2 TV ariel cables into the new mount. I used shrink cable covers but tape will do it if you are good at wrapping it.

You need to find your power and I can not remember which wire I picked up for that. Craig may remember.

Chooks instructions are very good and very soon you will be enjoying your TV in your heated leather recliner. (perfect for the Vovo driver)

Cheers

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
