Hi guys,

Just seeing if anyone has some tips or techniques on how to remove the Japanese TV brackets off dashboards.

I know they can leave your dash a mess so is there a way to take them off leaving little to no evidence they were ever there?

Here's a pic if you’re not sure what I'm talking about.

i guess it depends how hardcore the installer went when they put it in. does it just have an adhesive securing it to the dash or does it have bolts going through the dash and secured by nuts on the other side? if its the latter then you cant do too much about holes it'll leave behind.. perhaps an upholstery specialist might have a suitable filler to use. also if this is the case then i think the whole upper dash will have to come out so you can get at the other side to loosen the nuts

if your lucky and its just an adhesive, then the dash wouldn't have to come out, but you will have to loosen it off very gradually and carefully or you might pull up bits of the dash surface and it will look horrid afterwards. for an adhesive get some wd40 or crc 5.56 or a versatile citrus cleaner and squirt it in around it and after a minute or two it should start to break up the adhesive, allowing you to lift it up bit by bit and just keep squirting more as it comes off. concentrate on one edge as it comes up and just work your way to the other. dont pull too hard on it or you'll risk ripping up the upholstery surface, let the spray do the work for you and you just lift it off as it becomes free

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
