Thanks!
I sold this car just over two years ago now, so ive only got a few shots of the car... they can be found on my website (link in Sig)



the colour is called Nissan Moody Blue Pearl and was on 1999-2000 nissan pulsars here in Australia

the boost gauge was a pricol one the temp gauges were cheapies i got.. got them at a local parts shop.

That's strange, as soon as I saw the pic of that blue console I got the feeling it was a RHD, but there's really nothing in the pic to suggest it. WooHoo, I guess.

Spooky...

though the boost gage is kind of tilted towards the R.H. side of the car

I originally painted mine black, cheap Walmart spray paint and it worked fine. Got tired of it and tried carbon fiber overlay.

The little plastic "****" on the sliders should just pull off, as will the A/c button and fan speed ****. They might be a little stuck from being so old, but they should just pull off. Don't foget about the 2 screws behing the ash tray and teh two above the heat controls.

yeah, just grasp the controls for the HVAC unit and pull gently - they should pop right off.
