Retrim R33 (part of door trim) Control panel with the power window controls etc


Recommended Posts

Ok. Does anyone know a good one in Sydney or tell me if they have done it themselves.

The control panel on the drivers side with the power window etc has the top layer peeling off. ANyone know a good product to use or a retrimmer and possible cost?

Many Thanks

PS its a 4 door so these parts are slightly different - i.e. couldnt just get another

anyone painted this part themselves to make it look stock and newish>?

hey,

when i bought my na r33 some d*ck had painted these parts white as well as half the centre console, vents etc.

i ended up spending ages gettin the crap off then just got them sprayed up in matt black. didn't come up too bad, just make sure the preparation is spot on.

Yes I've painted mine. When I got my car, the panel was overly shiney and looked like crap. Lived with it for ages until I decided to paint it.

Picked up a product from Supercheap. Can't remember the name (can find out if you really need to), but it's a pigment dye used for plastic and carpet. Gave the panel a good clean with metho, sanded it lightly with wet and dry to take out any minor scatching and hit it with about 3-4 coats of this paint/dye. Used the satin black. Looks absolutely brand new. The dye doesn't come off (rub off) at all. It was so good, I repainted the wing mirrors on my daughters car. They are black plastic which had oxidised and gone a greyish whitein some areas. Same deal as the door trim - came up looking like new.

The satin comes up with the same sort of luster as new plastic. Comes in a heap of colours too.

thanks guys. I have some dye at home in a spray can, but I didnt think that would work on the plastic..ie.e it wouldnt sink in. I thought you really needed something special.

Thanks for the feedback. I might have to go to supercheap and see if I can find the prouct :)

i resprayed most internal removable plastics gold including elec window surround/arm rest

but now im goint to have it all redone in mahogony it will look cool

    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
