Have you written this article yet?

Not yet, Dale is currently on leave and he will do it upon his return.

Very interested in CF interior bits for r32 and prices!

Where can I see these?

They are listed on our site --> www.psiparts.com.au

As the parts get released we shall be adding them to our site

half of the Picture on your website ( for R32 at least) doesn't work..

The interior pieces were only available as part of a beta testing offer (of which we received very poor participation from members). I believe we don't have any left and thus will be removed from the website until they are available for retail sale.

sorry just saw above posts..

Interested for when R34 components arrive/to be tested..

Thanks.

Hello..

Just a heads up if there is any progress or future plans for R34 components..

Thanks! :banana:

I heard today ALL interior trimming have been put on hold until further notice. I believe this has to do with manufacturing techniques not being available at the current time, although I hope that they fix the issue.

The article is still on my to do list :D

Hi Dale, It's a new year I hope all is well in the land of PSI.

I am wondering if Sniper are moving forward with more carbon bits? I would love to Beta test an R33 main dash assy. I hope my report was deemed useful for the gear shift surround.

Thanks.... Danny

Hi Dale,

that's disappointing.

It would be handy if there was more information as to why and when.

I am sure that if volume is an issue we could take a tally and Sniper could see that there is enough interest or orders to make it worth their while? Looking at the vote for wet versus dry carbon raises the question are they saying no because we are after dry and the tooling is cost prohibitive? I want a wet carbon main dash assy to match the gear surround.

If they are not going to produce a wet main panel for R33 I would like to know so I can refinish the original one and forget about it.

thanks,

Danny

I'll have a chat to them and see what I can get out of them. From my last dealings with them they were disappointed with the finish of the product (your opinion is valuable here??) and want to keep their brand in high regard thus have decided to withdraw it even though such demand exists.

I don't know what gave them the idea that the finish was disappointing, the quality of finish on the beta unit I tested was excellent. Sure it needed some work to get it to fit properly but the finish is horn. I'm fitting a nismo stitched shift boot to it now and have a half chub looking at it! mmmmmmm carbonfibre....

I'd be interested in the main dash assembly too. Theres nothing else that ive found on the market that offers this in true carbon fibre.

AutoTrust, any chance of sharing some hi res photos so the rest of us can get an idea of the finish?

They want a direct fitment part without worrying about customers having to modify anything, although I might be able to twist their arm to get a few more beta testing items (i.e. not quite perfect fit).

I agree a direct fitment part is ideal. I would be happier with a wet unit to match what I have, I don't mind the extra work to make it fit, if the exterior finish is the same then there would be benefit from beta testing.

Here is a photo of the gear surround installed, please excuse the crap gearknob and busted hand brake boot.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
