couple of images of the modified cluster: (this is V1 - I'm not happy with how it came out.)

I had these done locally:

that entire panel (where the cruise indicator sits) has been redone. there is one issue with it. the security indicator

is inverted. it was supposed to be a red background with black text. a stupidly bright white LED lights it up. (I have a LED drop light under it for this shot.)

I am going to take it back to the people that made it for me and get the security area redone so it matches the rest of the panel.

at the moment its a bit hard to see unless you are on top of it.

this part came up ok apart from the inverted lower panel.

LCD panel in place. this is also V1. it needs to come up about 2-3 mm and the entire panel squared up.

this was done with a hand saw and looks a bit rough for my liking. again something I intend to take up with the

people that did it.

more to come. the interface and harnessing is next up.

yep. most of the electronics is getting done at the moment. my goal is to get the cluster done again and from there the switching,rev cam, HKS unit and navi harnesses.

ok started V2 of the dash.

V2 entails totally removing any evidence of the tach even being there.

started looking at it this morning and I reckon I can make a insert to fit on top , high fill,sand,chamfer and make it look like this:

(yes this is a nismo 33 item - concept is what I am going for. note chamfered edges around the screen)

so it looks like I will need another 32 cluster to work with..

(if you know of one - tell me.)

just put a request in for a set of N1 headlights, new from indicators,

purchased a new set of door catches (they were cheap!)

the catches should be here in a couple of weeks. they are part of a much larger shop order.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
