I'm retrimming the inside of a mates 300zx at the moment , everything except the seats, so it's definitely possible, just don't paint the dash it will look dodgy and if u scratch it it's stuffed, there are vinyl stainers that work better if u must change it but avoid it. I'm happy to send u some pics if u want an idea of how it works

I did the roof/door trims on my old car myself with blue suede, if you're gonna DIY make sure you get a good adhesive otherwise in a few months it may unstick, especially the roof, I had to re-do the roof because I didn't stick it together properly

Ok guys i did some work on the trims tonight so these are some progress shots.

These are the pieces ive done so far pretty much started with the easy bits to get used to the new glue im using,Selleys Kwik Grip Spray BTW awesome stuff only problem is it has no colour so it can be a pain to see what you have done.

If your doing this yourself this is a good start in the way of tools, a sharp knife is the most important, the majority of these tools came from my window tint/vinyl wrap tools so if your a DIY fan you will get heaps of use out of them.

The trim pieces start out like this,ive already removed the factory fabric which was a rancid grey coloured tweed,its also important to remove any foam left behind because you will get lumps.

Once your done they look something like this.

Once they are put together you end up with one rear quarter trim.

Hope that gives you a bit of an insight into how it happens, once ive finished ill endeavour to start a detailed DIY post or at least post up a finished few shots in the car.

Here are a few of my interior which was done earlier this year.

Before the door cars were retrimed in Bride Graduation.

I also have the roof, parcel shelf & sun visors trimmed in the plain black bride material.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
