Awesome guide! Though, can anybody tell me how to remove the dash part thats below the steering column? I've found at least one philips screw and two bolts on the right, but still can't get the darn thing off. Affraid of ripping it up if I pull to hard..

It is clipped in at the top and you really should remove the dash surround (as pictured in the guide here) to remove properly. There is 1 x phillips head screw and 2 x 10mm bolts where the bonnet release is. You then have to pull the bonnet release cable out of the way and it pop the panel out from the bottom then the top pops out of its locators behind the dash surround.

Hope this helps.

Again with the resurrecting of an ancient thread... but does the dash surround from an R33 GTR fit into a GTS-t?

Just to answer my own question - yep, it fits fine :)

And everything works fine? Must be from the same year though? I assume the back circuitry boards are the same colour? I did a r32 gtr 89 model stock dash to a white face nismo cluster and that worked fine after changing the clusters over

Assuming this is a response to my post above - I only swapped the dash surround, i.e. the fascia that surrounds the climate control, headunit, mirror controls and cluster, not the cluster itself.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
