Hi guys and gals

I was thinking of changing the colour of the centre instrument pannel. ( the piece that goes around the ac unit, headunit, hazard button that piece that pulls out) has any one done this at all? Before I can do this I have to remove that rubbery coating on the out side of the plastic that rubber coating wears after a while and looks crap!.......thats why I changing the colour. I am also changing the fabric inserts on the doors to yellow leather has anyone done this to there car.:D

It's a good chance it was my car if it looks like the one in my avatar :D

The panel actually came from another R33 GTR currently at ICE. I believe the owner before the owner at ICE (SIRVROOOMMM) replaced the standard black panelling with the silver.

From what I can tell, it wasn't simply the original panelling but painted. It looks professionally done.

This is on my to do list for next week. I am planning on a nice deep gold colour (to mach my brake calipers that are also on my to do list)

I was just planning on sanding that film back (using 1200 then 2000 grade). The shipping fools stuck paper on it and a bit of the film came off in that area, thats why I am doing it.

would love to see photos from r33's.

I have done my 32. I don'y think it came out the best, but for the cost of the materials was worth it.

I sanded back, then used spray putty to fill in existing blemishes. Gave it quite a few light coates of chrome paint (doesn't come up anything like chrome, but nice silver). And covered with a couple coates of clear. This stops it from getting scratched. While waiting for the coates to dry I took a few other bits out and did them too.

I just today retrimed my doors in blue velour. Again not professional quality but for the money saving, and the learning experience I think was well worth it.

here is a quick pic.

NIZ30,

nizmokid: Get someone that has a bead blaster (finer form of sand blasting) to remove the rubbery finish. Did mine this way at work (we have a bead blaster) primed theplastic and got it painted in the same colour as the new VX Commondore surround colour. Came up pretty good, if not as good as new!!

:uh-huh:

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
