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.

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.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
