I am interested on this subject too.

I have stripped and painted the centre console (gear stick surround) but am dreading doing the rest.

The rubber coating is a pain to get off. I physically had to rub with my fingers, the stuff is like a scratchy.

I did not want to scratch the plastic underneath.

So any ideas would be great..

I have repainted my entire dash and gear stick surround. I had never done anything like that before, but one of my friends showed me what to do. If I did it anyone can.

I used Acrylic Paint Thinner to remove the existing paint/silicon on the dash. Just wiped it on with a rag left it for a few minutes and scratched it all off another rag. You can't really damage the plastic underneath easily if you do it this way.

After all plastic had been cleaned we used a plastic primer for the under coat, then normal black spray paint and a clear top coat. All looks really good, better then the old dash…

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
