what products are recommended to help rejuvenate the dash on my r32 ?

ive read any cleaning products with silicone in them are bad and will dry the dash out and will speed up the process of the dash cracking..

im looking for some kind of product to rub the dash down in to stop it from cracking, effectively add moisture into it..

any helps appreciated

cheers

I'm interested in this too. Mostly for my older Datsuns. I've found that leather wipes (I used Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Wipes) work better than ArmorAll which seems to dry the plastic out after awhile. I've also herd baby oil works well. But haven't tried that yet.

I have the same problem too, I need a product to penetrate the plastic to make it supple again. I know brake fluid works temporarily, but it makes a big mess, smells, and shortens the life of the plastic in the long run.

armourall or mothers dash and trim.

it is good but if the dash is old you will perhaps need to do it weekly for a month or 2 to really bring it up.

it doesn't dry it out but if your dash is that old and element damaged it might seem this way.

Try not to put it on extra extra thick as this will mean it will dry with some sheeny or chalky looking spots. It wipes away but you might be confusing this with dried out.

I brought up the dash on my 75 celica back to perfection as easily as multiple applications of this stuff.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
