I am looking to replace my complete dashboard and centre council with a better condition one tomorrow and was wondering if anyone has any advices or has done it before,

Also I am worried it won't fit as the shop sold me one out of a sedan but mine is coupe, he said it will fit but I don't know if I should trust that! Anyone know if they are same dimensions or not?

SkyHatch got a Roadway Mufflers Custom 2" Cat Back exhaust and I Hit the Fake Lights on the rear Garnish with some NightShades tint in a can. :D

I did rack bushes and anti roll bar links

I hate working under cars

Would have been worth it though.

I've been trying to find out why my car is overfueling. It overheated a lil a few weeks ago from that hot sat we had

I'm wondering if my new water temp sensor is ruined from overheating and air bubbles?

Today me and my mate dropped my gearbox. Because a while ago I was driving and at idle I was bout turn a corner and "CLUNK"! My clutch didnt raise back up and pedal stuck to the floor.. Upon inspection my clutch fork had disengaged and fallen off its springs. And it f**ked up my slave cylinder. Soo I bought new slave cylinder and an extreme heavy duty push clutch to replace the old rooted one while gearbox is out.

2 hours later we managed to get the gearbox back and about to bolt everthing back up. I noticed a weird bolt was snapped but where was its thread!. Turmed out to be the ball joint clutch pivot!! Which helps keep the fork in place. So we had to drop the gear box again and took a look. Low and behold it was. Hell the hell did it snap. No clue. Turns out when it snapped I was in gear turning a corner the force of the fork falling out broke my slave cylinder and caused my clutch to spin uncontrolably against my fly wheel. Now im waitimg for a new ball joint and taking my gearbox into phillip head services so they can drill out this stuck thread for $80...... Thats my day.. Sorry for the long story.

But trust me that was the short version lol.

Congratulations (I hope)! hehe

Sell the GTR? are you insane?

I'm gonna f**king hold you to this mate. I can't stand the number of NICE cars up for sale due to a baby coming along and more or less the missus handing down the orders that it's gotta go.

She already tried the "we can't afford it and it has to go" when building our house.

I basically said it will be the last thing to go in this house............. If you get my drift.

Have not heard about it since. She understands it's all i spend my money on now. And god knows we don't need the money for what i would get for it.

Exactly. Selling something like your car would only make sense out of pure desperation. The investment:return ratio makes it sheer insanity to let it go any other time. Plus it's really not bloody fair the way they (stereotypically) pull that shit. It's like f**k, what do YOU have of value we could sell instead of MY car, hmm?? And it's more than just a massively depreciated asset, lol...when you've poured enough into it, it's almost part of you.

congratulations :yes:

I thought long about my build, the only real thing I had to get straight in my head was , I am NOT going to sell it and when you do not sell it they are worth as much as you spend on them :yes::yes:

Pretty much. i don't see us ever needing the money TBH. We are walking in with enough equity in the house for me to buy an R35. SO whats 25-30g (if im lucky).

Like fair enough my spending on it will drop pretty heavily. But as long as it's sitting in the garage i don't really care.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
