r u talking about the "instrument cluster"? which is the instrument display with the mileage, speedo etc etc?

generally they come out, but ALOT OF screws in some cars and very fiddly to take out.

and sometimes in some cars the instrument cluster comes out but the plastic display screen does not come off the unit.

im not too sure about R33 GTS-25t.

i would suggest find the Workshop manual. and it should have some info on how to remove and install.

im pretty sure you can get to it pretty easily, its been a while since i touched mine. 20min job to get out if you know how to take your centre dash console off.

I had a big hunsman that would run across the windscreen once in a while for months...would scare the jebus outta me. found it dead in the engine bay.

I used to park my daily at night across the street under some gum trees. :yucky:

I've never seen so many Huntsmen spiders in my life, until a bushie told me that they come down off the trees at night.

Back then, I used to scare the living daylights out of the check-out chicks in the Drive-thrus.

lolz :mad:

lmao this is hilarious, i get ants here and there, i find them on the car, inside it sometimes, not huge masses, but one or two here and there, so tempted to let off a bug bomb under the car outside or something

Jam a small bird in there to get it, but then you will need to jam a small cat in-ect ect

Sorry.

GENIUS!

Then when you remove the dash cluster, you can sell it to one of those freaks who collect 'bonsai cats'

should make enough for a new cluster and have some change :banana:

This sir is a horrific topic. I could not get in the car at all should it be dead or alive...however dont they shed their skins? could the bigger newer improved model be waiting to launch its attack when you least suspect it?

Sorry.

but then u need a dog to get in to catch the cat

you jammed the cat to catch the bird ...

you jammed the bird to catch the spider ...

That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside

then ull need to jam a goat to catch the dog............

:(

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
