Is there a way to see the colour difference between black and charcoal?

Wondering what would look better with the grey dash and black carpet lol.

Bishes have been slack at le factory! That and I dropped it off to them at the end of month. Their work orders apparently soared to mass levels, however I've spoken to them and they've apoligised dearly (a.k.a. offered me a beer AND a coca cola - that's business etiquette right there) and said that they're working on it and yadayada.

But I'm expecting 2x samples one in black one in charcoal to a) compare and b) check fitment. I am expecting those this friday. if they're not done i'm going to give them a piece of my mind. and axe. of fire.

Rest assured dear cefiro owners, THEY WILL BE MADE.

Not until we have them :D

Black is your black carpet, charcoal is more like the color of your trim (unless you got a Ceffy with brown interior...)

Woo! So really it should look good either way!

And yay for progress! :dry:

You can move it if you like?

Progress report is that I'm getting a sample FINALLY made and given to me this week, so I'll fit it to my car and post up pics ASAP.

Gya. I want my goddamn dashmats. Went there today, they're to the stage of lining up and cutting out the vents for the mats. once they get that sorted then production can FINALLY start. Next week.

OK people,

After some f**king around, they've finished the mould.

They werent sure where to cut the air con vents and auto headlight sensors, so I had to stop in, find this out, stop in the next day with vents, stop in the day after and get the dash and mold, bring it home and test fit it all.

I've decided (without deliberation with my sidekick, Jason) that instead of locking the front of the mat, leave it open. The locking along the edges will end at just above the air con vents facing the driver's and passenger's windows.

The dash continues downwards on an angle, about 1.5", after the dash meets the windshield (parallel to the windshield, and pretty much contact with it)

I want to leave the mat unlocked along that line, so that you can slide the mat between the windshield and the dash, into this small gap....this will help hold the dash still, alot better then just Velcro on its own.

If the majority of you disagree, let me know before MONDAY, as that is when the locking will be applied to the mats, SO, give me some feedback.

Pics attached

The drawn line along the dash is where the glass meets the dash when its fitted inside the car.

The auto headlight sensors havent been cut on the mold in the picture, but they are cut, and will be on all the dash mats...for those of you that have properly working auto headlight sensors.

30 are up for initial production, we'll probably do more if the first 30 sell out quickly.

15 Grey (similar or same as the picture attached)

15 Black (black..yeah...its pretty easy to imagine, no pics needed)

ALSO, if the majority of you want Black, we'll set more to be produced in Black, instead of Grey, so, keep us posted.

Cheers

Nic

Thanks nic! Much appreciated.

Note - this dashmat shown is yet to receive its protective and aesthetic edging. once we get it cut to fit, then the edges will go on.

Did they give you an ETA when you were there? Theoretically they SHOULD have them made by next week if the original goes in tomorrow.

Either way, thanks heaps mate.

OK, final test fit / first proper made received today.

NOTES:

The bit I asked to be left open an unlocked, to tuck in between the windshield and the dash....didn't happen...its just locked up the top, and we'll just have to do with Velcro.

The auto headlight sensors...these will be semi cut in the dashmat, but still intact with it....to remove it, just twist it out, or cut the traced line with a Stanley knife....so you folks that have covered the sensors up for whatever reason can leave them covered.

PICS:

Looking more at 20 Black and 10 Grey at this stage.

Any last second Q's, prob easier at this stage to give me a call

Or me - 0447 188 408.

That shit looks AWESOME. I'm happy with that result.

I'll give the supplier a call and put the order in for 10 grey, 20 black. Once I get them, I'll be sending out PM's to those who've PM'd me regarding these. and we'll go from there.

Cheers for collecting it Nic. And for the pics :P

Btw: change your progress to 80%. You have a dashmat now. :P

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
