looking bloody good mate, you don't dick around, gee that dash looks awesome, didn't realize they did a S5 version now, i notice you get a digital speedo , is it still 8-9ks out like the factory one ,or have they corrected it in the software ?
Also with regard to your exhaust, you need to keep a eye on your transfer case 4x4 actuator, they are prone to cooking the glue that holds the magnets in place once you have removed exhaust heat shields, ive done some testing on this, and the normal driving operating temp (standard exhaust) sits the actuator at 50 Deg C, might be worth testing to see if you need shields or wrap etc ?

Cheers for the heads up. I will have it back on the hoist tomorrow maybe and will have a look around the transfer. Have you got an image of the actuator?
I was really surprised how far out the speedo is. It is at least 10% out which is significant, the greatest discrepancy I have seen in a car. One of the vids I watched suggested that it corrected this, i have not driven it yet, I will let you know when I do though.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

That's NASA age stuff there mate.
While the dash was apart you should get rid of that awful woodgrain shit.

I don't mind the wood grain, I hate the carbon fibre look but have seen one done it what looks like brushed aluminium and it looked fantastic!

I usually like woodgrain.
But IMO it does not suit the Y62 . Nothing else in the car even remotely resembles or has that classic look theme about it... Just doesn't belong there I reckon.

Yeah I really like carbon fibre and have a heap of custom CF on my Triumph but it really is year 2000. The fake carbon looks like rubbish I reckon, hand laid carbon is sexy as. But yes I agree winnie it looks hideous in the 62. The wood grain is not as obnoxious as I was expecting and not too bad for my eye although come a bright day it might do my head in. I have seen one done with a brushed black alloy paint and clear coat! OMG it seriously looked amazing but would be some big coin. There are A Lot of panels to be pulled out so I understand the cost. It is a fair way down my list.
