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.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
