what are the dimensions of a R33/34 dash?

its a good idea but I think the R32 is smaller than the others.

It might be a smaller car, but how much of that is just exterior sheet metal...? I guess what we would need are the interior measurement for each model, and perhaps a rough idea of how each dash is attached to the interior.

I would guess the the 32 and 33 would be the closest match...

The reason I bring it up is I really like the R32's, but I think the dash looks a little dated. So it would be nice to have the best of both worlds.

personally I think the dash in the 32 is ingenius - having the light switch on the dash rather than the indicator switch is good, same for the wiper controls.

The only reason I'd change the interior is that the 32 interiors are getting old and falling apart :( like mine.

edit: what's the cost of a 33/34 interior?

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
