Ok, I bought a set of white faced guages about two months ago and never had them installed, wanted to do them myself. Ive been stalling because I painted my plastic piece that go around the guages years ago and remember having to get another friend to work with that black piece that goes around the top of the steering column (truth is i didnt want to break it)Well, today i tried to work with it, and wow, what a idiot i must be because its cracked now.Anyone got any tips for me on how to get it off? Its the black piece that holds the up-down switch for lights, hazards, rear defogger, dimmer.
:dunce i wanna hit myself for cracking it
Sorry if this isnt where this post goes, but i dont really know if you want to call this a tech question, so i put it here, where a lot of people look first
question on interrior HELP!

Or even better, stop by your local junk yard. I picked up a gas cap, glove box and two rubber gaskets cheap today. It's cheaper and you get to take the parts out yourself! Actually, now that I"m talking about it I have to share the experience. I live in Charlotte and this guys has a junk yard for just nissans! 300zx and 240sx were everywhere. I was in heaven!
Why is the private messaging disabled?? Oh well, I'm gonna have to go off topic then and ask you jubs, how much total did it cost you for ur obx muffler and 2.5 in piping? I assumed you bought the muffler separately and had a shop put the pipe in? Is it mendrel bent?Jubs180 wrote:maybe we can work something out.I am going to the junk yard here pretty soon to pick up a few parts and I know they have about 4 or 5 240smessage me on aim about what you want to do.

the exhaust cost me 90$ on ebay. pretty good deal i think
it is really loud without the silencer in, but sounds awesome
the 2.5" i had a muffler shop near me do... install of the new muffler, weld new hangers, not mendrel, but regular bent pipe from the cat back (the guy did a nice job on it) cost me 120$

You are my hero, :p . You actually did the exact thing I wanted to do, I just didnt have the price tag on it. Was looking at some mufflers on ebay...I dunno about some of them, I'm worried about getting a crappy generic no-name muffler. I saw an obx and a coupole jdm mufflers, so i'd probably get on of those. THanks.
