Hey guys,

Got an r34, have spent the last few hours searching with no results so I am creating a new topic.

Firstly, I love the look of all 4 taillights on my r34 lighting up. Is there any way i can rewire the lights so when the brakes are applied all 4 lights, light up?? I have seen this done before and would love a guide, or any help in how I can go about doing this.

Secondly, I Installed a new headunit two weeks ago, and then last week pulled the console out again, to re paint over the factory centre console paint. Both of these times i scratched the outter centre console pretty badly. (around the centre console) im sure you all know where I mean as looking through pictures of other 34's They all seem to be scratched. How do i go about fixing this?? Is there anyway I can retrim/paint/cover this?? what is everyones opinion on how to go about fixing this?

Thanks for reading,

Any help/opinions at all will be greatly appreciated.

Nathan.

as far as i can tell you cant fix the scratches, my only suggestion is to have it re-trimmed if it bothers you that badly, that or buy new trim pieces that are un-scratched, unfortunatly not a lot of options

What could it be retrimmed with? I'm not sure what the material actually is?

What do you think these pieces are worth in decent condition?

wouldnt have a clue, considered buying some and having a go at re-trimming them myself with a nice material in a colour to match the rest of the interior.

Try Nisswreck

Rush how could you retrim it considering its like a plastic??

Nuffsaid have you got any info on how to do it at all?

a materail/fabric glue spread evently over the surface should hold the material in place nicely, let it dry for a while and put it back in the car

I believe the plastic surround the whole area ,you can order it from Nissan , not sure on the price, i know Vic member Ashneel is looking into this exact thing as well, i have asked him to get me a price as well.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
