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

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
