project 200sx by nissan sss

Post by nissan sss »

ok finaly started cleaning up the car after a good service.

removed the oil presure gauge that was in the way of my speedo and also moved the boost gauge to the a pillar.

When i removed the cover from the steering colum the hole cover was full of oil thats why i dont like mec gauge in the cockpit.
moved it to the engin bay.

also stripped out 2hands full of wires that was installed by some owner down the line. dont really know what they where trying to do.

next rewire radio and speakers
then respray the hood to match the car and roof
also interior upgrade

Keep up the good work and let us see some pics. My smart car has oil that fell on the carpet and the smell just wont come out. Make sure your carpet is not contaminated.

Post by nissan sss »

ok so i where not on the forum for a while now as i got lost in time so will start to do the update on the mods if done up to

so far it is going slow but getting there.
this is the nismo dials and painted the needles red as they where orange.
they are a shitty job to do because to remove the needles and put them back on the same place is a crappy job mine are all good but speedo is 10km slower than the car is actually moving found that out the hard way speed trap, never got the ticket thou

night cluster lights

Post by nissan sss »

Ok so here is the pics took them just quick so not very good.

also fitted super bright white led bulbs

needles where painted with model paint, it would off worked better sourcing 200sti needels as they are already red and lights up better

only 2 things i dot like is the dials is shiny so the revlect sunlight, they are very thin so with the super bright led they, are too sharp for eyes at night and see the back of the cluster....

this is no dim very bright
Image

full dim, I keep it on this all the time.

enjoy

update. interior progress

Post by nissan sss »

so next update follows.
interior needs some att and decided to do some red suede on the cabby and door panels.
also made a custom shade for the sunroof covered in red suede, and covered the old filfy roof lining with black suede.
and painted the rest of the grey stuff also black.
don't know why some of the stuff where black and the rest grey but now they are all the same.
also fitted a map reading lamp i got from the land doown under. also painted black.

some picks are still needed.
enjoy.
