Maybe my G35 was after the recall, and had the fix included (late 2003), due to G35 complaints from US, OR maybe the original Japanese owner had used the recall to get a better/fixed dash; although I dont think sun damage was much of an issue in Japan. Either way, I am annoyed my 370GT has a dodgy dash, and my 5 year older 350GT was impeccable. I have ordered a dash fix kit to hopefully fix the issue, and also have a custom dash mat to stop it from getting worse now, or happen again in the future, after I use the fix kit. Its in the mail, so no endorsement.

anyone else try the  above? Supercheap have a ceramic single stage fix product, but the reviews are not great.

Hi there.  I sent photos to the above company, before I replaced my dash. They replied saying that there repair kit would not do the job. My dash was also starting too separate on the edges.

Dash mats for RHD G37/ 370GT Skylines are available from Aliexpress. Nice quality, perfect fit and good value.

I am NOT expecting it to be a perfect repair. Its <$100 it would be ludicrous to think so. I just want it to take the stickiness away, and add some future UV protection and resolve the sticky and easily damaged current sticky surface. However, I have a dash-mat to cover it as well.

PS: When you say "I sent photos to the above company" and they said it would not do the job, is that from the same company trying to sell you a new dash?

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
