slayer, I think you'll find this is a problem inherit with all R33 series 1 consoles and its probably the main reason (i hope) why people are painting their dashes. With age and possibly due to sunlight and armourall, the coating turns soft and gets really easy to scratch and peel. Its a flaw Nissan fixed with series II R33s by using a different (harder) coating.

My dash is going through the same peeling process, so I've also decided to paint it. Not rice boy red mind you (yes, I'm talking about YOU, G0DF4Th3R), but something really, really dark. I'm trying to source a place to do it for $150 or less atm, otherwise I'll follow EVL R33's DIY instructions.

Gradenko, is the series II dash physically different (eg shape and mounting points) ? If not, I could always try and source a series II dash section.

Hmm, I could go ricey and paint it I guess... but something like metallic charcoal finish.

Problem will be getting all the old armour all and 303 off the plastic so the paint actually bonds!

hmm, thanks for the info

S1 is a plastic with a rubbery type covering (what the hell is that? anyone tried taking it off?)

S2 has a more harder plastic and its rough, kinda grainy...

Its same but where the S1 hazards and stuff are it pops out a but hard to explain but if you saw it you would know wat i mean.

I had tried painting it in the my old line and BOTCHed it HARD!

then i got "professionals" to do it and they botched it even HARDER!!!

THats my experience,

DOnnie

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
