Not sure if anyone has done this yet but decided I might as well write up a tutorial upon completion of mine

Tools needed:

1x small phillips head screwdriver

1x small flat head screwdriver

Linear polariser film (preferably with adhesive side, I got mine from http://www.3dlens.com/shop/lcdpolarizer.php)

Acetone

Scalpel/Razor

Procedure:

1. Remove climate control from car.

2. Remove the temperature knob along with the nut behind it

3. Remove the 4 screws holding the front half of the unit to the back half

4. Using the flat head undo the 4 clips, and the front part should pop off

5. Undo the the 2 screws holding the back circuit boar, then push on the part where the plug goes to slide it out

6. Undo the 4 screws holding the front circuit board to the face

7. You should be able to pop the circuit board out now

8. Now comes the tricky part, using a scalpel slowly try and peel back the existing polarising film. Easiest to work from the corner and slowly sliding the scalpel along the glass

9. If there's adhesive residue left over on the screen, then use acetone to remove it

10. Time to apply the polarising film, if you place it the correct way it should look normal (white backlight with black writing), but if you turn it 90 degress, it'll reverse the colours

11. Once your happy with it, cut the film to size and apply to the LCD screen

12. Reassemble the climate control unit and reinstall into car, now you should have something that looks like this

Does anyone know for this, before removing the original film on the screen, should I be able just put the new film over it before removing the unit to test to see if the film I bought is correct? A bit of a stupid question but I tried it and it didn't work so I don't know if the film is incorrect or if the original film needs to be removed to see the effect.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
