I've had a look around the forums but cant seem to find a detailed guide to removing the dash facia.

I want to do it without damaging the plastic too much if at all as I'm planning on painting them something other than plain black.

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers

lol just finished mine today - thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/378425-how-do-you-seal-matte-flat-black/ checkout bottom of thread.

really easy.

1. take out ash tray.

2. undo 2 screws behind it

3. pull out bottom half of dash facia - may need a good tug.

4. undo 2 screws that are now exposed at the bottom of the remaining facia.

5. again, pull off facia, but be gentle and dont pull it out far as all the buttons are connected.

6. while it is sitting on ur lap unplug hazard button, rear demister, clock, temp sensor and on the right side the mirror control.

done :)

you may want to take off the steering surround so that it doesnt scratch it, or be really careful :)

When you put it back on make sure you plug the internal temp sensor and hose for your air con back in (just to the left of your steering wheel)

It's easy to forget and if you do your auto climate control won't work properly (will be hot on all temps except 18 degrees)

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
