Hi Guys n' Gals;

The dash cover on my 32 GTR has bubbled in the usual place ie the concave right anlged-ish section just above the glovebox. I doubt it can be repaired, does anyone know;

if there's a good dash repairer in Canberra?

how big a job it is to take the dash out of a 32 GTR ie good / bad/ bastard and how long it takes? Searched on the site but found nothing, not looking for a DIY guide unless you happen to have one laying 'round that you prepared earlier, which would be great. The R33 seems firmly in the bastard category from what i gather on the forums and from Adam at BDL but I'm not sure re the 32. I've got the Nissan manual but sometimes the diags etc are so crappy it's hopless.

Regards

If its just the vinyl on top thats bubbled people have fixed it by getting glue and putting it in a very thin tipped syringe. You then poke the syringe through the vinyl (will leave a tiny weeny little hole u cant even see) and squeeze a bit of the glue in then press the vinyl down. This will re-glue it down, seems to have worked for a few people. Might try it myself, got a small bubble developing on the dash

Hi Nik;

thought about that too but it's pretty far gone, I think the vinyl has shrunk to the point that it just won't stretch back into place.

Cheers

No dramas dude, just take it easy, take your time, and make sure everything goes back where it came from, i didnt put it all back together properly one time and had a few problems which ended up being something very simple and easy to fix

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • 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.
