Interior should be partially complete in a few weeks. I've got the Evo IX Recaros installed now, SpeedHut gauges on the way, and a friend of mine is layering a couple sections of the dashboard in carbon fiber, outer edges of the dash as well as the center radio trim will be done in flock material. So the dash will be installed in a few weeks, but the door panels and center console will be custom made from fiberglass and carbon fiber, so those will take a bit of time to do. Between work and college, my time has been very limited lately. So things will be a bit slow going.

Car is going into the body shop in February for a complete restore. I'm keeping the stock R32 front, East Bear rear bumper, and Bee*R side skirts.

Got my set of gauges in today.

Love them! Can't wait to get them installed with the new dash.

Dude awsome!

How much does it cost for a set like that mate with the gtr inside?

I love it

I paid $850 US shipped. However, I only paid for the GT-R logo on one gauge, as it's a $25 option (per gauge I think). So they made a mistake and accidentally did it on all the gauges, I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep it that way or not.

Company e-mailed me back about returning them. I'm going to send all but one small gauge and the tach back. So the center gauge in the cluster will have the logo, and the center gauge in the triple center pod will have it as well, should flow pretty well without being overkill.

How's this coming along? Interested in a few more details regarding the interior :)

Do you know whether the 350Z steering column bolts in? I'm pretty sure the steering wheels are interchangeable as I have seen Skyline steering wheels in 350Z's so maybe the steering column would be aswell.

I really like your project and was looking at the steering column on a 350Z the other day which got me thinking lol.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
