Hey guys,

When i changed my headunit in my r34, i somehow managed to scratch the f**k out of my dash

Then when i did the guide on these forums to paint the dash pieces (which came up mint) i scratched it further

the pieces i scratched are the yellow circles in the pic (hope whoevers interior it is dosent mind, my camera is shit)

except mine are alot worse.

Any ideas, anyone had the same issue? what have you done? what can be done?

the possibilities i have thought of so far are pulling it out and

-Sanding it back and spraying it in a dark grey with the same method as the gear surround stereo surround etc(in the guide on these forums), although im not sure if this will work, or look good as im pretty sure its vinyl

-Pulling the panel out and going to an upholsterer and buying some really thin vinyl in the same colour and trying to fit it, although i dont think this will work out to well.

-Buying new pieces, although i have been looking none seem to come up for sale.

I want to give it a fresh stock look and colour to match the rest of the dash, for the cheapest and most efficient way possible.

Any ideas/comments/experiences/reccomendations/advice or ideas are highly appreciated ;)

I dont know the precise techniques, there are group called leatherman I think,, or dash repair, most automotive places will have a local repairer u can get in touch with, will cost 50 bucks or so but, you will be Extremely amazed at what magicians these guys are.. I have seen older cars with hundereds of cracks on dash repaired whilst still on the car.. once they have finished it looks brand new,

R34 interiors are made of scratch magnet plastics, even looking at them sideways is enough :S I know my car is literally the only one I know of with literally one tiny visible scratch. Years of screaming at careless passengers ensured this :)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
