****Broadfield's New Interior Mods****

[Broadfield]

Finally finished the Defi gauge setup in my 240. I decided to make my own cluster using Defi gauges and then 3 more in the center vent location. I used the green Defi Link gauges with the brand new V.S.D. Concept X heads up display. In the main cluster I used a 80mm tach and boost, along with 52mm EGT and water temp. I gutted the entire OEM cluster leaving only a small black trim section that would frame my gauge plate that houses the Defi's. I also gutted the rear white section of the cluster which clips to the front glass and the black trim left over. I used 1/4" hardboard as my new cluster plate. Flushed in the gauges and retro fitted the turn signals into the plate. I reused the green arrows for the signals and used 1" pvc for bulb housings.

Now for the cool part. Since Defi does not make a speedometer gauge, I decided to go with the HUD for the windshield. I was going to retrofit the Defi HUD module into the OEM HUD pod that I bought off of another member. Figured it would look nice and OEM. Come to find out they discontinued the V.S.D. Concept. So I bought the Concept X instead and molded the module into the top of my steering wheel shroud. It works and looks flawless! I won't go into detail but basically I bondo molded it in and used texture paint on both the top half and bottom half. Then painted it a nice SEM black. Here are a bunch of pics and one of the Concept X HUD the way it comes new.

[opponheimer]

Who needs a speedo anyways?

Looks very good.

[amplifi3d]

i applaud you on your execution. Very clean and creative.

What about low fuel warning light and check engine? Those are the other two i would be worried about. i guess you could always add those later.:bigok:

[A Spec Products]

Wow

Impressive

I think you need a better looking steering wheel tho lol

[BattleRoyale]

super clean

very nice work

[swayray]

wow... that's almost as nice as having a stack...

ok... maybe not... but that's one clean setup there...

[TougeRacing]

that is a crazy cool set up.

[2iv0 sx]

Concept X looks amazing on the steering wheel shroud.. How'd you do that?

Did it come with the shell covers to mount the HUD?

[holaback]

All that shit and a homo steerinng wheel? I guess your a bfe boy it's not unexpected.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Man with that dash, I hope the rest of your car doesn't look like poo.
+1

[azndoc]

I like it alot.

Looks clean.

Now hit up Logan for a Nardi wheel and Works Bell hub and QR.

[Nikeboy355]

I'm impressed... very inspiring...

[DOOK]

tits, very tits

[scottie]

:bigok: Awesome!!! Simply beautiful to look at! :wackit:

[projectRDM]

i applaud you on your execution. Very clean and creative.

What about low fuel warning light and check engine? Those are the other two i would be worried about. i guess you could always add those later.:bigok:

Check engine light = emissions related items. I seriously doubt he's got a smog legal KA with all the goods, so a check engine light is useless.



To the OP- very clean, nice job.

[exitspeed]

Really, really nice job.

[KwKouki]

I posted your pictures up in the interior thread, hope you dont mind. Yo you do comission work? :rofl:

[McRussellPants]

Thats pretty classy

[Ian]

Fuck yeah!



Cool ass cluster

[ms!3]

fucking clean. nice work.

[Farzam]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm taaaasteees goooooooooooood

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

damn. i like. +1 for you.

[WERDdabuilder]

god that shit is sexy.

got more pictures of the HUD? is it moded into the steering cover thing?

[C. Senor]

it looks very nice....i want to lick it, it's just so clean.

[CKAMC]

I like the multi display HUD unit, center cluster is very clean as well.

Good work!

I think the original poster likes having a steering wheel with an airbag?

[Irukandji]

WOW, very cool interior.
I love it.

[eastcoastS14]

posi rep......and hey if you start buildin em id buy one, would you be willing to make another one somewhere down the line?

[FinalDrive]

that looks awesome
great work, especially on the HUD setup

[Irukandji]

What did you use to texturize the bezel?

[MELLO*SOS]

What did you use to texturize the bezel?

I was wondering the same thing.

Also I didn't see a fuel level gauge anywhere, how do you know how much fuel you've got left.. I take it this is a track only car (theres no odometer for one thing)

Anyway, Excellent work, you should be proud. I think all of us have considered this at one point or another, but you're one of the first I've seen pull it off so cleanly.

[mrmephistopheles]

I think you need a better looking steering wheel tho lol
Seriously that looks exactly like the OEM steering wheel from our old BG5 Legacy GT. :barf:


Still, very clean job. I wasn't expecting to see something NICE.

[woodchuck]

+1 for you. very clean.

people need to cop that steez if you're on a budget.

[sr20boostn20]

amazing,


very clean, i love the speedo

[sal240sx]

Couldnt see the pics at work, but wow, great job. +1

[IGSDann]

Awesome job man, very clean. And what's wrong with the steering wheel? The thing looks fine! Fuck what they say.

[A Spec Products]

Awesome job man, very clean. And what's wrong with the steering wheel? The thing looks fine! Fuck what they say.

Look at the side pics

The shroud of the wheel/hub portion is all split open on the side

His dash / cluster setup is so clean, and that kinda just doesn't match

[Broadfield]

I didn't get the steering wheel cover clipped back together before I took the pic. I assure you that if fits perfect!

[UfoZ8myCow]

That looks tits!

But uh... How do you know how much fuel is left without an odometer and without a fuel level gauge...?

[Broadfield]

That looks tits!

But uh... How do you know how much fuel is left without an odometer and without a fuel level gauge...?

I have a digital fuel gauge located in a stealth spot behind smoked plexiglass. Odometer who cares.

[devonkyle77]

looks good man!

A couple quick pics of the car..... I'll let you decide.

[KwKouki]

holy fuck man, looks amazing.

[Broadfield]

What did you use to texturize the bezel?

I used a SEM brand. It is called Texture Coating. You can get it from a auto body paint supply business or online. I then used a SEM Black as a final color. I used this technique on the cluster and shroud.

[hellion240sx]

wow this is an amazing accomplishment! props to you man!

[Dousan_PG]

attention to detail
i like it!

polished intake mani on s14 is the shit!!! GOOD CHOICE!

[Gavster]

Very nice setup man!! I can tell you def. go the extra mile to make things right on the whole car! Great work!

[bardabe]

Holy fuckin shit man, that is sweeeeeet. +1

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

AN lines for the breather and idle air, dang man good work.

YOU should be BLUE

[bardabe]

wait what are you going to do about your gas?

[A Spec Products]

Ah I c, okay well in that case nevermind

Just looked like wasn't clipped together

You gonna run buckets or something?

Everything else is done so race ready, those stocker S13 seats look so sad :(

[articdragon192]

I saw this thread on NICO and it still is an amazing set up. Very very clean job.

[Broadfield]

No biggie man! Just haven't gotten around to a Nardi w/red stitching. I am going to run Bride Gias Sports next year. Just built a new house and I am out of money for this season.

[95Blue240sx]

Cleanest fucking car I've seen in a LONG time. Awsome work. Your e-penis is HUGE :keke:

[veeates36]

that setup is too nice, and its such a clean job :2f2f:

[axiomatik]

looks good. I probably would have gone with something else besides that hardboard to mount the gauges (high humidity and it can warp). I also think the speedo would have looked better mounted on top of the cluster, just so there wasn't any overlap, but overall very impressive work and nice attention to detail.

[UnNaturalinc]

Wow.... that's friggin slick rick man.

Nice work.

[rican_nick]

great job man. Looks awesome.

[liv2drift045]

very clean... im way too lazy to make my defi ensamble look that good... props :)

[Fred Allen Burge]

Wow, I was fully prepared for some really crappy work but you shocked me!

Two thumbs up, actually makes me kinda want an S13 again, sorta.

Fred

[GSXRJJordan]

looks bomb.

And people thought my 60mm boost gauge was big lol.

[sicarius82]

Wow

Impressive

I think you need a better looking steering wheel tho lol

+1... Deep dish FTW...

[KwKouki]

yo all this nardi sackriding is hilarious.

[Broadfield]

yo all this nardi sackriding is hilarious.

Yeah, I guess the car is worthless without a Nardi. Maybe I shouldn't drive it anymore until I get one:rolleyes:

I have never had anyone ever complain about the steering wheel in person or any other forum..... I then post on Zilvia and I have 8 people in 1 thread sucking off Nardi:tweak:

[ThatGuy]

I'm not a fan of homo, errrr, I mean Momo. :keke: That doesn't make it a BAD wheel though.

I like my Nardi. I got it CHEAP.

Your car looks nice. Run whatever you want.

Very clean install. :bow:

[Irukandji]

thanks dooood

[turtle m3th]

Shits hot son! I personally like the steering wheel, but everyone has their own taste and you can't please them all. OMP ftw! sorry... (just thought I would throw that in there.)

[WideS13]

Very nice. I like how clean it looks. +1, however, how can you be from Normal IL and not be a DSM guy?

[crazyikimasho]

Check engine light = emissions related items. I seriously doubt he's got a smog legal KA with all the goods, so a check engine light is useless.



To the OP- very clean, nice job.

Clean setup that reminds me of work that you would do Russ.

Off-topic: whatever came of that clean 14 you finished? Never hear anything about your cars anymore.

[s13pignose]

one of the cleanest s13's I've seem that isn't done up in aero. Nice gauge setup too.

Nardi just happens to be a local favorite, you really don't find much people here into steering wheels with an airbag.

I dont mind the Momo, its better looking than a stock 15year+ old stock steering wheel.

[Broadfield]

Very nice. I like how clean it looks. +1, however, how can you be from Normal IL and not be a DSM guy?

Yeah, it's kind of funny that 95% of the Diamond Star plant workers here don't own a Mitsu, even though they get a decent discount.

Maybe it's like working @ McDonald's...... you never want anything to do with their food after you work there all day:down:

[upSLIDEdown]

Fucking awesome car, and gorgeous execution on the cluster. This car is exactly what I'm in teh process of building. Full interior, caged, boosted, weekend track car. MAJOR PROPS TO YOU SIR!

Damn that is an ill setup!

Of course in person nobodys gonna say anything. You live in BFE and you are only commin across BFE boys so they of course are gonna think it's fine. Nobody said anything about Nardi you have plenty of choices of nice wheels which do include Nardi, personal, OMP etc.

+32767 on skill and attention to detail, really. I didnt click on this thread for days because I am kinda conditioned to seeing a lot of bullshit on the forums, so I try to keep my eyes closed more than open.

But, I must admit.. absolute beautiful work. For the speedo/rpms, I personally prefer something more static that I can see day, night, shadow, shade. While it looks plenty visible from the pics, i still cant say I would want a setup like that for one of my own personal cars - but regardless, its built for you, not me - and it looks very pretty. I just happen to prefer analog, thats all.

The steering wheel is fine, understated.. good. Its been said before, there are too many fanboys here that just jock products that are HOT because these guys have just joined the scene and think something is new and awesome. Reality is, its a wheel.. it works. Big fucking deal. Everyone wants Nardi with a quick release, as if that shit is going to make a difference in life.. it wont. MOMO wheels are great, well.. they're classic wheels are great. Some of their newer fanboy shit sucks, but then again.. so does being a fanboy.

I really hate your seats though, thats the only part of your car that makes me puke. :-)

cheers,
Mike / ClearCorners.Com

so errrr. still wondering, gonna ignore the Gas needle????

Just gotta read the thread man....... digital fuel gauge.

[jobestudios]

Looking hot as shit as people have already said, I think you should rock the s15 steering wheel with some r34 seats, keepin it classy since oct 06 for sure tho

[Lordrandall]

All around nice car. Good job. :)

[ixfxi]

Looking hot as shit as people have already said, I think you should rock the s15 steering wheel with some r34 seats, keepin it classy since oct 06 for sure tho

does anyone here actually have r34 seats?

does anyone here actually have experience with both, r32/r33 seats AND r34 seats?

i've always been eyeballing the r34 seats, especially since they look so pretty.. but the thing is, the r32 seats for me, have always been perfect.

i'm wondering whether or not the r34 seats actually offer something, other than nice looks. the obvious thing i've noticed is the harness loops, but other than that.. i think the R32 seats are really perfect (for me atleast).

[Unholy S14]

I have R32 seats in my 14 as you said to me they are the perfect OEM seat between looks and doing their job of holding you in.But I would say if your a bigger guy go for S15 seats, I have had some bigger people complain about my seats.


Also on the cluster, its sick I might do something like this in my 14 after I reassemble my motor!

[Unholy S14]

arent R32 seats the same thing as S14 seats

Not at all.

[ixfxi]

unholyfd3s> arent R32 seats the same thing as S14 seats

yeah.. ABSOLUTELY NOT. ;-) R32 seats RULE, while S14 seats rule nothing.

I've always loved how compact and unflashy the R32 seats are, they are super snug seats and I'm 5'8" so its a perfect fit. larger fat americans should consider another seat though.

anyway, i was just curious if anyone had experience with BOTH seats. the r34's are nice, but cost an arm'n'leg.. always curious if they're worth it.

[ms!3]

word is r32 seats sit you an inch or two higher than a s13/s14 seat would? ive always been interested in them, but im 6'3. ill prob have to look into getting a bride low max and bolting it to the floor. haha.

s14 seats are better than s13 ones. but id def like to start looking into a bucket.

i dont agree. i never noticed sitting higher in the r32 seats.

remember, most of these s13 seats are pretty ratty and fucking NEGLECTED. I wouldnt be surprised if the foam is completely fucked on the majority of people's cars. i mean, everytime i sit in oem s13 seats.. i need to get my back cracked. literally, those are the worst seats ive ever had the luxury of owning.

[status:one]

that is a very clean setup!

[driftenthusiast]

Were did you get the fuel guage? any pics?
Also where did you get the concept X VSD? I searched and can only find the VSD Concept.

[ms!3]

i dont agree. i never noticed sitting higher in the r32 seats.

i was hoping what i heard was wrong, thanks.

[Shadytrixta1]

If anything I feel lower in my R32's, but that may just be the bucket style making me think im lower.

[Maeda]

I have a question mr Broadfield.

I have a similar setup and how did you get the defi HUD to work? Is it just a simple matter of following the directions? (yes i know im retarded and lazy, just humor me)

It plugs into the Defi link controller. Then speedo will wire into the controller for the HUD. You do not have to wire the tach signal into the HUD controller..... it will automatically take the signal from the Defi link controller. This might be different depending on which of he 3 HUD's you have!?!

[Broadfield]

I can get you the Concept X. PM me if you want details. I did not take any pics of the fuel gauge. I think I might redo it, so I will take pics at that time.

[Maeda]

Thanks broadfield, I also noticed I have the HUD tach working, but the tach in my cluster stays at 9000. :\

I have the tach signal wired into the link box, and nothing wired to the vsd concept box.

I assume that your HUD and dial gauge tach are working together?

[Broadfield]

Mine does all work flawless. I am not sure about your tach.... I will check into it for you. Do you have the version 1 or 2 Defi link controller?

[Maeda]

Version 2 I believe.

[Broadfield]

Version 2 I believe.

Cool, I'll check when I get to work tomorrow!

[CoasTek240]

this is a great thread. +1 to Broadfield....clean setup.

[hellion240sx]

yeah i couldn't find A PRICE FOR the concept type x vsd.. link?

[Maeda]

Cool, I'll check when I get to work tomorrow!

No need now! I figured it out! Thanks for all the help.
It was something stupid and simple, just a matter of forgoing the signal adapter, and sticking the Link output to the UNDERSIDE of the vsd concept.

[Broadfield]

yeah i couldn't find A PRICE FOR the concept type x vsd.. link?

Look about 6 posts up!

[EJ253]

awesome car. and awesome gauge set up.

posi rep!

[240LE]

bump for pics of digital fuel gauge

[axiomatik]

what do you mean? he has pics of it posted earlier in the thread.

[chaseSR86]

Whats the glue that you use to attach the gauges and the panel to the existing gauge cluster? How did you mount the gauges flush like that?

[dnomyar]

looks like he used a hot glue gun

[ManoNegra]

what do you mean? he has pics of it posted earlier in the thread.

Not of the digital fuel gauge... or at least I missed it.

Only question I've got is why put the EGT guage on the cluster and Oil Pressure on the vent? Perhaps I'm being naive or something but wouldn't oil pressure be more important to monitor?

[240LE]

This would work GREAT with speedhut revolution main cluster gauges. 4" speedo with ODO, Tach, 2 5/8" fuel qty,water temp. Then get a triple A pillar pod

my bad, it was posted in the "Interior Gauge Setups" thread. IIRC, the gauge displays percentage of fuel used. Read the posts following the one below to learn more:

Thank you sir! Yes, the main function of the HUD is for my speedo. It will display in kmh or mph. It will also display any other gauge I have in metric or imperial.

Here is a couple pics of the fuel gauge on and off, and few other with my new wheel and DCC swap.

[Fibercus]

Very nice setup

[SimpleSexy180]

thats sex. nice job man.

your interior looks fucking gangster.

[Xandy Boosts]

is that a custom vent pod or did you get it from someone. I like the angles

[codyace]

word is r32 seats sit you an inch or two higher than a s13/s14 seat would?

i dont agree. i never noticed sitting higher in the r32 seats.


If anything I feel lower in my R32's, but that may just be the bucket style making me think im lower.

Not sure in s13 applications, but in my S14 (Sunroof car), I noticed a definate height diffrence (sitting higher) versus stock S14 seats. I'm only 5'8", and with with my G Force Full Face on, I was into the sunroof/couldn't sit properly behind the wheel, where as before I could *just* fit in.

To remedy the situation, I hacked off the left side 'floor mount' and cut some of the right side off. I re drilled the right side, and found a piece of 1/2 steel for the driver side (tapped two spots into it for the seat to attach too, and drilled through the back of the steel piece, and used a bolt to attach it to the car.

When all Said and Done, I gained nearly 2-3" of headspace (mainly due to angleing the seat back) and was able to sit properly in my car for HPDE and everyday driving. In fact, I liked haveing the seat angled lower front to back than stock flat front to back.

[Broadfield]

is that a custom vent pod or did you get it from someone. I like the angles

I made it using a flat piece of aluminum and angle rings from Summit. I textured the whole thing then painted it using a SEM black.

So niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice :coolugh:

Where did you buy your rpm and boost DEFI gauge ?:aw:

[HalveBlue]

You can buy 'em at a lot of places.

Here's a few:

www.egauges.com
www.ravspec.com
www.phase2motortrend.com
www.hopupracing.com

just to name a few.

Almost all performance shops should carry them.

*EDIT* Just noticed you live in France. I don't know if the above named shops ship internationally, but it's worth a try.

[IIIXziuR]

Looking good man. That Nardi wheel really fits the look to a T now. Extremely clean champ

[s13pignose]

The inside of that car is CLEAN. Is the carpet and mats all orignial..if so I've never seen a s13 that clean inside when I was looking for one for myself.

Also who did the upholstery?

[Ninjabread]

I remember saving this pic a while back... Is this yours? (350z pedals)

must not get too hot over there>?

Hmm in a couple pics up of his interior, you see the stock rubber pedals... but thats not to say it isn't

[iyceman]

Curious, I didn't notice anyone else mention it, but where'd you get the climate control setup you're using in the last few pictures, since the one thing I've always thought REALLY dated the interior on the S chassis was the climate center.

[axiomatik]

the digital climate control was optional in Japan. You can often find them for sale on ebay, though oftentimes the auction does not include everything you need to get the DCC to work. A search should tell you what all is needed to get it to work.

[Bushido]

Broadfield, is the carpet custom or a kit?

[UfoZ8myCow]

Best. Interior. EVAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drift freaq]

Hehehehe I have working DCC in my car.

[brndck]

your interior makes my pants get tighter. that is all.

[jdFKNmVRT]

thats a very clean set up...
gotta love the scenery at night

[HalveBlue]

In either this thread or the Interior Gauges Setup thread Broadfield mentions the vendor he bought his DCC from.

Wasn't all that expensive for the complete setup either if I remember correctly.

[upSLIDEdown]

Edge of the floormat doesn't match. That's light, his is dark. Gonna go with probably not.

[Sidewayzzz]

Hey Broadfield, can you post some more pictures of how you ran your cage with the full interior and carpet retained?

[SHIFT_*grind*]

Just echoing everyone else, that's the nicest S13 interior I've ever seen. Easily. Good job.

I looked through the thread and didn't see it anywhere, what seats are those? From one of the pics they look like R32 GT-Rs, but reupholstered?

[Bushido]

YO, carpet?

[C. Anderson]

YO, carpet?

Yeah, I sent him a PM about it. No answer.

I had pedals like that in my Spec V, they were altima se-r pedals. Not sure which ones his are.

[steve_o1989]

Wow that is very impressive.. That has got to be the cleanest interior I have seen. Everything looks like it could have came that way from the factory. I am right in the middle of doing up my interior, and actually swaping it over from brown to black.

Do you have somemore pictures of your rollcage setup? I was wondering how you have it but still kept a full interior. Thanks.

Oh and BTW, that Nardi wheel kicks ass. Way nicer than your old one.

[Laxman]

[brewster240]

this setup is so nice, i wouldnt be able to own it, id always be scared of making a mess.

[Laxman]

So where can I get myself carpet like that?

[B Love]

Any upholstry shop does carpet. But if you look online you can probably find companies that sell 240 specific carpet that fits the shape already

[eulalia]

nice i love your interior, its the best i have seen

[Broadfield]

Sorry I haven't answered any of your questions guys. I guess I don't get emailed anymore for this thread?

Anyway, I'll try to answer some of them.

The carpet I got from stockinteriors.com. I had my friend at a custom upholstery shop make my floor mats. One of the reasons I went with custom mats was so they would be molded around the cage. The other reason is all of the ones on-line and E-bay are the biggest POS's.

The panel below the radio is a custom plate I made with a custom pull on it. My control units for my Defi gauges and the one for the HUD are flushed into a pocket behind there. I didn't want to display them, so I made the removable plate to hide them, yet still gain access to them.

As mentioned, those are not my pedals, but I do have the same 350z pedals to put on.... just haven't done it yet. You also have to modify the dead pedal plate..... the 350z one is about twice as tall.

I will have to get pics of the cage where it goes through the rear panels and the carpet. I assure you it looks factory. I used another rear panel to chop up and make a template for the good panels. That way the cage goes through the panel with a perfect cut. This is the only pic I have right now.

[GSXRJJordan]

soooo clean. You're an inspiration ~

[bardabe]

omg wtf, wow clean!

[s13pignose]

I wish I had an interior of the same quality in my car. I know what you mean about ebay mats. I bought a set which I thought were quality. Now the grommet on the drivers side for the pin in the floor ripped out the mat. Also the things shed some lol. The material is not very durable to say the least. I wish supermade or kereotype (spelling?) made lhd sets, and if only I had the money if they did.

I also like how the inserts on your seats are of a different material. I think nothing looks better than leather seats, only thing is imo they're cold in the winter when you first sit in em, and you almost melt in the summer lol. I guess that won't be a problem when you've upholstered them like you did.

[Flybert]

Is the gas gauge a nordskog one? If so, how did you wire it up? I have one and can't get mine to work.

[fluidd]

Just saw your article in the latest Modified Mag edition, that gauge idea was sweet.

Nice work!

[SOCAL240]

Wow

I think you need a better looking steering wheel tho lol


WOW!! so clean i didnt even notice the steering wheel!! LOL!!!

[Full-Lock]

just a quick question about your headunit.

did that fit without like any trimming of the center at all?
im looking for a CD deck for my S14 that can fit in my trim w/o cutting up my trim. like a car specific headunit

thanks

[heychris]

Dood your car is effing hard....Nice gauge setup...Like the concept of fuel gauge too. Kinda IndyCar tyte...My car is weak, I'm gonna go cry :ugh:

damn thats nice... i thought my car had nice interior lol. i like the digital climate control. jus wondering who installed it for u? i hav 1 myself and would like to install. can u give me instructions or a link that u used on how to do it. thnks

[Z_Spool]

Bah, why all the focus on just the interior, the whole car is incredible! You did a near-perfect job on everything. Your S13 should be the benchmark all others should be judged upon. I bow down to your OEM goodness. :D

[xamraci]

Nice work...good looking setup and the HUD is awesome...Only real thing to note is that I havent seen a Defi Gauge that was actually correct in its reading...ussually the boost is off by 3-4psi:loco: , good looking though, thats for sure

CLEANEST S13 INTERIOR EVER!!! absolute freshness....

[keioffice]

how did you install the three gauges in where the vents were?

Thanks man! I haven't really noticed much discrepancy between what the Power FC is saying and the Defi's. There is only .1 bar difference in boost and about 3 degrees Celsius in the temps. Question is, which one is correct!?!

Fabulous question:keke:

we hooked up a Defi thru the link as well as an Autometer NON-ELEC, A VDO NON-ELEC, and an ELEC VDO, as well as the STOCK OPTIONAL GAUGE and the Defi Read differently from the other four as well as the tuning program...maybe we were just going crazy that day or something...:)

hahaha, this was on a subaru though...cant trust flat motors:loco:

Doesnt really matter in the end...ever stock honda I had was 3-4 MPH off and atleast 300-500 off in RPM...and my tack int he S14 only works half of the time...

End of post...Your Car is Freaking Clean And VERY VERY well DONE! That engine bay is like crack...:bigok:

[Broadfield]

how did you install the three gauges in where the vents were?

I cut aluminum for the base plate and purchased angle rings for the gauges to set in. I textured coated all of the pieces then sprayed them with a SEM black final coat.

[zaquanh]

alll i gota say is good job and its cool to see that you got into modified magazine altho is seems like everyones in there magazines these days but its still pretty cool

[Bushido]

Broadfield, i was wondering how you keep your dash so fresh and so clean? is there any product that you use on it to keep it clean?

[Broadfield]

Broadfield, i was wondering how you keep your dash so fresh and so clean? is there any product that you use on it to keep it clean?

You probably won't believe me, but I use a product from Snap-On called "Protect One". It is by far the best stuff I ever used. It leaves the dash and plastics with a "new" look! Not glossy, but just nice and rich!

Yeah, I am indifferent on the seats. Don't love them, but definitely don't hate them. 99% of the people love them and offer me money for the set. I will be getting Bride Gias in all black, but funds will be short for the next year or so. At least I know that I can sell them once I get the Bride seats.

All of the DCC's I've seen for sale are a bit rough around the edges and if you could shed the light on some way to clean up with a bit of elbow grease that'd be awesome.

I use a back-and-forth motion.... no circular movements.

Yep, just a microfiber and I rub pretty hard like if you were using rubbing compound on your car paint. It will work perfect for the gauge cluster. I also use a mini air powered polisher if the surface area is big enough..... gauge cluster, head/tail lights.

Thanks David! It was awesome finally getting to hook up with you! I'm sure we'll be in contact a lot now.

I also figured I would post up the pics of my latest interior build.......


As most of you may recall, I use to have an all black leather and suede refinished OEM seats etc. I have wanted a set a Bride Gias for this thing for years now. I finally got a good deal on a set of Gias Mazoria edition. So I had to reupholster the interior around the Gias being the center focal point. As usual, I like fairly low key styling in everything I do, but with a little flash here and there. So in keeping with the standard black Bride material on the seat, along with the Bride Hyper Black material on the cushions, I came up with a nice layout for the rest of the interior.

--Back seat: standard Bride material with Hyper Black center panels.
--Glove box: Hyper Black material
--Armrest: Hyper Black material
--Rear Deck: Hyper Black material
--Door card: inserts Hyper Black material
--Shift boot: Hyper Black material
--Headliner: Not finished yet.... either Hyper Black or a combination of standard black.

I don't have any pictures of the back seat or rear deck yet. It was getting late and it was difficult to get a "good" shot, from a photographer's point of view, of the back seat and deck. The rear deck in Bride fabric happens to be my favorite part of the interior actually:D

Awesome as usual. Are you using a hydraulic parking brake? I can't really tell what you have in the rear. Also, are they white like the fronts? The more I see your cluster, the more I want to enlist your services. Maybe one of these days once i get back to the real world from the "beach". Your work is always an inspiration.

The rear brakes are Z32 with the Z32 e-brake setup. Yes they are white with the raised letters painted black to match the fronts. I made a zinc plating kit and re-plated all of the bolts and hardware for the brakes and rotor hats. Here are some pics I posted on another site about my brake build:

Few pics of the powder coat job and a couple of my electroplating setup.

Also some pics of my finished zinc plating. After the plating, I dipped each piece in either a gold or black chromate to get the final color.

There is also a before shot of a retaining clip too so you can see the difference.

More pics of the hardware I plated gold and black. Then a couple of the calipers reassembled. These were taken before I painted the raised letters on the Z32's black.

The black hardware looks wet because it gets doused with WD40 as a final sealant.
