My car is painted yellow and has a full white interior. Most of it is white leather with the roof etc done in white vinyl. The dash was sprayed with with white vinyl paint and the plastic around the dash is done in metalic silver.

All I can say is that even though it looks good (well I think it does) this car is pain to drive in full sunlight. The glare from the dash is so bad that without sunglasses you have a hard time seeing. I am getting a custom dash mat made up in grey to match the plastic which I hope will fix up the glare problem.

As soon as I get the car back this week from the shop i'll get some pics posted.

I've found that White Knight brand spray cans work very well. Start with Super Primer then your color choice then Instant Satin Clearcoat. The satin clearcoat gives a soft sheen finish instead of a high gloss. maxkhor White Night Squirt Metalic Grey would look nice in your car. knore Try matt black with either a matt clearcoat or the satin clearcoat.

Pic is window switch surround 50/50 standard and Metalic Grey with strip of satin clear dividing them satin was put straight on plastic (not a good idea) Brown color is photo error

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
