I have an annoying mark on my dash facia from the previous owner which by the looks of it needs to be sanded off and repainted :/

post-100922-0-33913700-1356846624_thumb.jpg

my question is, after i pull it off and sand it whats the OEM colour for the dash so i can prime then respray? its a rough-ish finished black but i doubt anything an autosalon have would be suitable.

any help would be great!

you might be able to get away with using some prepsol/wax and grease remover as it looks like leftover glue and it might come away.

best bet is if you want to respray it, I would go with a satin finish more than anything (also match the drivers side arm rest/window switch area) but i beleive that would be the closest match, unless you want to get it wrapped in a sticker?

havent tried it but just some opinions/ideas.

unfortunately its not left over glue, its actually melted away the plastic there.. some rough super glue would be my best bet but yeah regardless its still annoying

im thinking maybe test an inconspicuous area of the dash and see how it goes, i just dont want to do anything ill regret after :/

Mate I'm in the same situation with the r33. that sort of rubbery matte black finish is awesome but I can't find anything the same. Closet thing I found was at Repco, it was a black bumper spray that is supposed to be like a spray on car bra. I thought about it but after reading the directions on the can, it is designed to be removed with a high pressure car wash hose, so it'd scratch pretty easy I'd imagine. I'm goin for the matte black wrap when I get some time.

My opinion would be to sand it back, prime it and give it a few coats of this.

I resprayed my steering column surround without using primer and it still came out amazing. Not 100% the same colour as stock but looked very good. Then get a clear coat and go over it to protect it from scratches etc.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
