I TRUST YOU RICHARD! I'm Just looking at my options atm.. I have NO money due to this rebuild breaking my balls. But when i get the car back and have a bit more moneys i want to fix the A/C and the bubbled dash. When those are done im all good... Interior wise i have 1 small bubble and the cracked vents. All seats look new.

Oh also need to replace the ECU... Verms needs to hurry up and sell me his Apexi.

hey mate It can be done without taking the dash out if your vents are already broken you can remove them with the dash still in place, just be very careful when putting the new ones in :)

ignore that if you are planning to replace your dash just do the vents then :)

Thanks mate yeah thats why i was thinking if its hard to take the dash out ill wait till my motorbike will be back up and running as when the car is back ill be taking the bike off the road to do a full respray haha. Hence my thoughts where just to get new vents and take them back out when i replace the dash. Still deciding.

Yeah - if your replacing old and there broken you can pull them out and just push the new ones in.

But be aware that the vents are screwed on from the back of the dash

Hey fellas just trying to put in a new centre vent in my 32... but it doesn't want to push in from the front even with a bit of force

Sinista, what do you mean that they are screwed in from the back? I can't see any screws in the new vent? or is there a bracket that screws into the dash from the back that holds in the vent?

Can i get it in from the front without removing the dash? is there some sort of technique that'll help?

I read somewhere else on the forums someone said "look inside them and you will see tabs which you put a flat screwdriver into and lever down. Its a lot eaiser than taking the dash out."

any help appreciated. cheers

My centre vent fell apart yesterday.. finally... they have tabs ontop and underneath them. but since mine was apart i could just pull it out, bit of glue for not and shoved it back in haha

Sorry about not sending Pics. Hit the turps early otaday and just got home.

EWill do it tomoz.

Edit: And Anthony when wouold you like the Dash for cash ?

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
