Hey guys, I have decided to try and retrim the interior fascia on my SII R33 and also the surround on the driver's side power window.

Anyone done this before?

I was thinking a carbon fibre weave look, done in stick on vinyl.

Or does anyone know where it can be done.

Thanks heaps.

I'm pretty sure The Spoiler Shop do this, as they painted my dash plastics for me (Could of really attempted it myself after looking at the procedure, but wouldnt of got the great results).

I know it costs more then just a strip back + paint, around 300 for all the plastics, but they do a good job.

I also know of some people in the eastern states who got some carbon fibre type of contact and did it themselves but apparently very time consuming! Good luck

redoin the dash and other hard plastic bits is pretty easy the only real problems i had when doin mine was gettin the origional coatin off the its just a matter of platic primer and get a paint guy to mix up a few spraypaks of your color for the best finish spray it with clear afta it took me a weekend to go from s#@$y worn dash to nice silver blue and not to many swear words either

I can do it myself but problem is I don't have a workshop to do it. And doing it in an open space at my place means while paint is drying dust/dirt particles could landed on the surface and spoil the result. I had this done on my speedo surround, because it was a small part, as soon as I spray it I took it inside and cover it with a box. Dash facia is a different story as it's way too large to find a box to fit to cover it. So I'm sticking with black on mine, but silver would be nice.

Seen blue, red, carbon fibre texture (stick-on) but never seen gunmetal. Anyone tried gunmetal before?

The easiest & cheapest solution to the scratched dull grey look , is to scrape off all of the grey paintlike finish & polish the black plastic underneath :D It's a bitch of a job , but looks great in shining gloss black :P

Thanks Bro, that's a top tip ! :(

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
