The Type X had a little bubble in the right side defroster vent, that indeed looks like a modern light sensor.

Those defrost grills like ot break, so don't force anything.

Would be very hard to replace the OEM.

(I actually have a spare Type X dash, with intact defroster grills (with that bubble), but I would not dare try to remove.)

The little "tween" piece between the defroster grills likes to break, but you can get new for $20.

Also the bolt that goes in under it tends to drop, so be mindful when replacing.

 

Your gas pedal cover is an option part that commands high prices on Buyee.

 

It also looks like there is a pulsation damper on the fuel pump?

 

I already bought the 3 piece kit on ebay so good on that account..but thanks!

 

wow good to know! I thought it seemed different as the brake and clutch pedal are all aluminum all the way up to the master levers.

 

weird...can't say I know too much about the car so every day is a new lesson lol

 

Today's update so far:
-Learned a new skill....we can make our own coolant lines since they take forever to get from Japan.

Insert a copper pipe bending coil matching the ID of the straight tube and heat hot! Over bend to get the desired form....gloves and a vice recommended

Ice that puppy right after you heat for a minute or two....repeat process till bend is just right

Install that **** without any pinches!
also found a small restrictor in the top coolant line...after a little googling, it's common for applications that have a higher than normal flow water pump to protect heatercores from a coolant pressure surge? Idk just what Google told me....wish I took a photo looked something like this

Mine appeared to be brass


-Moving to finish dash and front interior!

 

The drilled aluminum brake and clutch peddles were part of the Mazda advertising. They claimed the "brakes made the car go faster", in the "add lightness" vein.

 

The ebay one likely does not have the bubble for the sensor.

 

Atkins was also selling heater hoses at some point.

Nice build, thanks for documenting the small stuff. 👍🏼

 

Looks like a GTR pump ...

 

Very good work, thanks for the link.

 

I recently acquired this. As you maybe have the only red interior Type X in North America, I thought I would bring to your attention that I have it.

Made all the way from Japan ot my house without anything breaking.

 

looks great!

I owe a pig update on this...... finally got the interior all together...even got new door vents 3d printed.

 

Looking fierce. Love the auto-hvac controls1

Are the main gauges some sort of aftermarket replacements?

 

Thanks man.

I replaced all the lights on the entire car with LEDs, including the HVAC controls....then even found a site that has replacement HVAC faces, and had him do them white. I but a ton of leds so I could actually see the controls at night.
I did replace the gauge faces as well...somehow didn't scre them up...and fixed the digitized on the odometer too

 

Very good work, thanks for the link

 

Thank you, and what link are you referring?

 

I looked up the PN and it was indeed an r34 GTR pump....will likely be replacing soon.
