R32 Gts4 - Restoration/rebuild

[Chris Rogers]

considerign I have yet to see it myself I am also curious how that panel turned out.

[adamskill]

is the 32 your daily chris?

[Chris Rogers]

no. I have a subaru wagon and my van as daily use

[Chris Rogers]

quick move so I can find it again. no news yet

[Boss-zilla]

boo! I got excited when i saw it up the top again

[Chris Rogers]

I'm waiting on a few things (and people to pay their bills.) so I can't do anything yet.

[Boss-zilla]

*Clears throat loudly*

Bottom of page two Chris, not good. haha

[Chris Rogers]

busy with a few other things at the moment this thing has not been forgotten.

[Chris Rogers]

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.

[boiracer]

well yeah sounds like it.

done with a hand saw and out of center i could have done for you

[Chris Rogers]

I have requested V2 of the LCD to be a clear window . failing that I wil probably make it myself with a pin router and several jigs.

[Boss-zilla]

Starting to get there!

[Chris Rogers]

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.

[Chris Rogers]

once I do that I will mock up the ENTIRE dash on a jig and work out the bugs in it. most of them are already out.

[Chris Rogers]

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.)

[Chris Rogers]

also ordered my garmin navigation module as well. that should land here in 4-5 days I figure.

[itease]

i have an early 32 gtr cluster if you would like

[Chris Rogers]

i have an early 32 gtr cluster if you would like

yes please not fussed if the gauges are missing as long as the black bit is in decent nick.

[Chris Rogers]

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.

[Chris Rogers]

N1 headlights organised (Ouch! they are NOT cheap!) also organised new indicators for the front.
