You're very gifted in what you do Pete, along with your knowledge in plastics :yes:

I've been extremely impressed at how you made up from scratch, these hexagonal caps for my LMGT4 GT500 wheels below! :wub:

In fact, you were meticulous! :wub:

Thanks Terry and guys.

Steering wheel is from a S15, air bag is from a R34 manual as is the clock spring to run the electrics for the crusie control.

Switches on the S/wheel are from a R34 auto.

ARTZ thats a nice piece of work also.

I wanted to keep the aircon vent sensor so I had to move it over to the left from where the boost guage sits now.

The cruise control unit its self is an aftermarket unit but I didnt want to put the extra control arm on my steering column surround as there is no real space for it.

Wiper side you cant see it and if you try and mount it on the blinker side arm the instructions are upside down.

I found a factory unit on a four door auto non Hicas R33 and tried to take it out but the wiring was a total nightmare.

It was wiried through the auto and had its own computer to run it.

As well as this it doesnt have the same clock spring arrangement like a Hicas fitted car but disc under the steering wheel to transfer the signals from the factory cruse switch on the original wheel.

I then striped the after market control arm ran off/on wires from it to the original dash switch and wires to the R34 clock spring wiring.

I reconfigured the auto switches so that left side is the SET/COAST function and the right side is the ACCELERATE/RESUME function.

Thats a shortened version of how I did it and let me say it was all b%$tard to figure out !

RB2600 - Nope wasnt me the Nismo guage ! But I got a spare one if you are interested !

sonicz - The bottons on the right turn the cruise unit off and on and the folding mirror switches are are next to them.

You cant see it because the angle of the photo hides it behind the steering wheel !

And all the R33s Ive seen have had them !

Looks very cool and professional. What are all those buttons on the right? Cruise control, fog lamps? where is your mirror adjustment knobs.

Are electric foldable mirrors a rare option on r33s?

Thought they were standard? Think all the 33's I've seen have had it. They were all turbo so not sure if that made a difference

      How can I remove this adhesive?

      By PranK · Posted

      A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      I see what you posted, but how could a warning light be going on and off if there is no sender for it?  The only other explanation is that the wire that used to go to the sender from the warning light is earthing somehow in the loom or at the connector, or that you have connected the warning light wire to something (maybe the temp sender?).
