I've been there before, 10 years ago though, and in a Civic. I think this will be slightly different :tup:

The spooling is so fast on this twin scroll you can barely hear it before it is full speed! I was amazed at how quiet this system ran on James' car.

The dash is out, but I forgot to take a quick picture of it out. Time to figure out mounting the gauges.

It is a bit of a headache. It was going smoothly until I needed to remove two plugs from the vents in the stop of the dash. They did not want to come out.

Installing Defi gauges. I needed to remove the dash to properly remove the triple gauge.

Funny, it was running through my head when I couldn't get those two little plugs out. :icon17:

It's all good now, I'll take a quick picture of the dash removed today. The plan was to install gauges today, but I think I'll install my RJM Performance clutch pedal assembly while I have the room to work. :tup:

Awesome Jason,

How long did it take you to get to that point? I am assuming you needed a puller to get the wheel off?

It took 1 to 1.5 hours for remove everything, taking my time to be careful. You don't need a puller to remove the steering wheel, but you do need a T-30 tamper proof torx bit to remove two screws that release the airbag.

I suggest getting a copy of the service manual, and follow this DIY for steering wheel removal, http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...l-removal.html

GET IT! Can't wait to see that gauge setup. DIY is the only way!

Cmike2780 01-15-2013 10:57 AM

:eek: I don't think I'm brave enough to do that to my car...probably why this thread is so interesting.

GaleForce 01-15-2013 11:07 AM

As promised. I pulled that dash last night before I went I bed. I should have stayed in the garage because I spent the next 2 hours wide awake in bed planning the next steps... :ugh2:
