I had always wanted a standard looking clean interior. I believe now i am well on my way to achieving that.

Randomly on FB a woodgrain stagea wheel popped on my newsfeed so i snapped it up straight away. I still need a gearboot and an mp3 player that looks standard. I will change the led's to match the climate control.

I made a glovebox cluster out of redgum to hold my gauges and safc neo.

First was to make a template out of cardboard.

Then i clean dressed the redgum to let it air for a month, this was done to limit it's moisture content and it will have less chance of expanding and contracting with the different seasons.

I then deep ripped it on a bandsaw and cut out the template, i let it dry for another month.

I used an edge router with a 45deg ball bearing tip to get the perfect angle.

I used a 48mm holesaw to get the gauge holes and then used a bobbin sander to achieve a tight fit for the gauges. The safc neo hole was achieved by a 10mm drill bit, jogsaw and a hand file.

I then used a stain and a satin oil finish, each time i stained and oiled i sanded in between, there are 6 coats

I am not too happy with the finished product as i rushed some parts and steps. This is it all in, excuse the mess.

I attended the ACT's first all japanese car show hosted by REACT.

I met cpark, sin and a few others there and was a great start to my birthday!

Really digging the wood highlights, Ive got a few woodgrain interior pieces around somewhere...but not enough for a full set. I have a RWD woodgrain piece for the centre console, but it doesn't fit a 4WD model. I assume your centre console is also not off a 4WD S1 stagea?

Thanks tofu, redline and zoom.

The glovebox is a funny thing. Nissan didn't think i would notice that the latch hump is offset 5mm to the right and the sides taper inwards at the top.
After seeing HKS and freeway Dolphins glovebox consoles I knew I had to make one.

I'm very lucky my boss is a great guy and let's me make my own stuff on the weekends.

All my woodgrain pieces are from the s2 Stagea that's why the centre console needs a boot to cover the gap.

You should check out ebay and yahoo auctions, plenty of random wood bits out there for decent prices. I got lucky with my stuff, but I was always searching for the right pieces for the right price.

New regu 06&r muffler, this took a bit of work to get it to sit where it is. I now know why Stagea muffler tips are always 200mm long.

Stitched a shift boot.

And went nuts on Stagea magazines.

Purchased an innovate lc2 wideband and will probably have to make another glovebox console for a change of plans.

Benny I haven't forgotten about the cargo blind ;) I just get sidetracked very easily.

Been prepping for track days recently so first up was brakes.

Setup consists of; R33 gtst calipers - DBA 4000 T3 rotors F+R - Remsa/Roadhouse pads F+R - TRW GP600 fluid - Nismo braided lines front - APP braided lines rear

Huge thanks to Luke, Joe, raj, and Kyle for the brakes.

Got a new helmet. Very cheap, comfy and sa2010 complied.

Put in some whiteline rear upper arms thanks to grant and caster arms with whiteline bushes thanks to Ben.

how does the new kakimoto muffler sound? does it have the silencer in it?

It's ok once warm but terrible when cold. No silencer, using a trust mid muffler too.

Honestly I can't tell you exactly how it sounds as I've never heard it outside the cabin.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
