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.

    • 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)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
