Good shit man
Thanks Brutha, definitely working on getting better rails, and hopefully a 4pt cage. I might come up on bride material, I would not mind working something out with the extra material that matches your arm rest, incase if you needed any?

For steering wheel installs on the s14, what did you guys do to unscrew the torx bolts on both sides of the stock wheel? Ive tried about everything and it still wont budge.

Are you sure you're turning it the correct way?

I mean this honestly when I say, you're one of the few people that have this problem. I've installed a lot of aftermarket units into cars with airbags and I can't say I've have trouble with the torx bolts.

You could use a torx head socket if you own one. I don't use mine because it's really not that difficult to break loose.

I actually have a decent amount leftover. Thanks for the offer though. I don't want to do my door cards or glovebox but I also don't want to have a shop do it and get raped. Just kind of waiting to run into someone who is savy with interior work.



If you do get some, I would recommend DCA garage. I bought a yard of the 'hyper black' from them awhile ago for about $100 and I got a bit more than a yard. Bride fabric is tits though, nice and cushy.

just got these seats. s13 seats were disgusting. quick question for people with s14 seats, for the passenger seat do only 3 bolts line up? the front left bolt doesn't go in, not sure if the rail is just like that or if it takes some minor modification.

You probably had that problem, because some asshole was letting his overweight girlfriend sit on them in his garage while they were uninstalled. When you let them sit on a hard surface, and apply weight it bends the tabs.

Coolest looking gauges I've seen in a long time. Greddy should take this face style and make speedometers and tachometers too.

There are two different types. One bolts right up and you have to flatten one mounting point with a hammer on the other one. I've installed both on mine, so I know.

If I'm not mistaken these have been discontinued and replaced by the Multi D/A gauges no? I wanted to run these originally in my car but they're getting harder and harder to find matching sets...

Yes, black face with green back light and yellow needle is discontinued now. Had one in my old wrx, matched perfectly. Great looking gauges.

You're correct as they've been discontinued for YEARS now (SMI and regular versions). I wish you good luck hunting down a full set.

Yep. Not sure he has the right chassis mats, though. By the driver kick panel, the shaping doesn't look to match unless it's just a funny angle. But, yes. GTR-GARAGE is doing a group by either via their site or the vendor/group buy section. I ordered 2 pairs myself. Man, I love 'em.

Le Sigh, The ones I want (white face green lighting, boost, oil p, water temp) have been popping up for great deals all around me but I can never go get them due to circumstances... The last pair that came up I left for OTS (pretty much officer basic training) the day the guy decided to text me back :/

Anyways, my shitty setup right now, please stay away from megan oil pressure gauges btw, a destroyed rod bearing leads me to believe that it was lying to me.

Yes, DMax floor mats and they are the correct chassis mats.
