Hey guys, i've decide to modify my dash while it's out and the cars at the paint shop. It's an r33 dash, at this stage i've got 4 autometre gauges which i was going to mount in the dash in from of the passanger, a shift light tack which is going on the a pillar and i was wanting to mount my apexi avcr scrren on the dash, but like cover it some how, I'm thinking about covering the dash in fibreglass moulding the bits into place and having the whole think spray painted in a gloss white and maybe a little air brush work, my only concer is the fibreglass my eat into the dash, any ideas on how to overcome this or any new ideas at all? i'm not keen on leather by the way, any pics, or constructive critizim is welcome

cool idea but what i dont get is why would you have all these gauges in front of the passenger? Can you see them and read them from the drivers seat?

If its a show car then thats all good. As far as fibre glassing and stuff, sounds good, but if its black you will see every bit of dust that sits on it.

have fun

yeah thats true. unless you clean your car religiously you will always see them little dust specks everywhere. it is a pretty cool idea though.

one question.... why the tach? the standard tach is quite readable.....

shift light is ok, but there really isnt a need for an aftermarket tacho.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
