How does it go with wear? I've been seeing more and more of this and really starting to like it!

Here is a full R33 dash done from that website posted:

Theres a guy from Finland,Holland or somewhere like that on the UK GTR site that did it to heaps of stuff in his car and just looks bloody good.

I'll try hunt the link up.

Gives it a more race feel than carbon but always wondered how it would cope with Oz conditions..e.g the Sun !!

Yeah I know the car you are talking about. Sweden rings a bell? His was the first I ever saw with a flocked dash. Basically lookes like suede.

Here's that one from the cover of a recent HPI. His was really nicely done.

I only just figured, we used it at work (the flock) for putting into our reinforced 2 pack paint, we call it "short stuff" though. Very durable, can't see the sun or UV being an issue....just depends on the type of adhesive they use, and if it's good enough to stick polyester and nylon, then I can't imagine it being your average glue.

Reckon if done properly it looks great.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
