Hey guys,

I have two holes in my dash atm. One is where the immobolisor light once was, and the other is where another switch is. The bracket that held the immoboliser in place fell out and I lost it when I took the dash out, so the LED hanging out on a wire looks hideous. I could get a new clip, but I'd prefer to smooth the whole hing out a bit more.

The other switch controls the brightness of the Speedo and Tacho gauges, but looks really ugly. Its on the left of the steering column. I want to push it into the dash and if I need to adjust it I'll just pull the dash off and change it. I only have it on the brightest setting, so it isn't neccesary. Does anyone else have this?

Anyway, is there a way to fill the holes left from these two items? I also want to smooth over my coin tray in the centre console and put switches for different things these. If I have any coins, I'll put them in my walet!!

I've put black switches on my dash, 1 for the neons, 1 for the strobe light and 1 for the siren.

of course you can just put switches there that do nothing and save them for later

I could, but the switches would be all over the place, in random spots. I'd rather have them within easy reach all together in one spot. Is there a kind of putty or something I could fill it with? I'm planning on painting it anyway

kitty hair should work for you

after watching countless american modification shows, i realise that those awesome custom consoles and dashes are mostly kitty hair filler lol

my suggestion - if you are going to paint it - is to weld it up using a soldering iron, just melt along the crack then force the 2 sides together, then prep for paint

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
