hi fellow members,

i recently bought my r34 gtt, and love everything about it. But the one thing is that the middle part of console and gauge holder scratches easy, along with driver and passenger power window panel...

is it possible to sand down the panels and re-spray them?

i know that it would be difficult to sand down in-between the air vents and around the power window buttons.

And the climate control looks hard to work with, looks as though you have to leave it. Has anyone done something similar? or do you just leave it looking old and scratched.:unsure::/

thanks.

you can use 3M CF look alike tape or get CF underlay done

I pretty sure few people in the forum has done it with interior parts to bring the R34 to a more modern look

not sure about painting

I did mine in real carbon, but hated it, to reflective for my taste, so now I used a special paint process , it looks like black flocking but durable as hell paint . matte black and matches the dash nice with all the molded in TV, and gauges.

you can also do hydroprinting to redo them, I'm checking on setting up a shop that does it in the near future. lasts just as long as car paint does.

you can redo it with lots of things but watch the reflective issues off the windshield. etc.

annoying as hell.

its piss easy to pull off the parts for respary and sanding, even the clear part of the AC controls comes off easy with a sharp thin knife, CA glue it back on when done.

and change your lights to LED while your at it, DAN666 on here sells the kits.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
