Interior Conversion

Punkrocka436 · Oct 30th, 2004, 07:03 PM

So i started my interior conversion today. Getting rid of the ugly grey B14 interior and switching it over to the sexy black interior from the Sentra SE. I got the following parts:

Dashboard
Center Console
98 SE Cluster (White face gauges)
Armrest option
Ebay E-brake boot
Autometer Phantom Volt meter

Also am doing a couple of electical things too. They are as follows:

-Taillight Kill (Can turn my taillights off with a switch, no, i dont plan on running from cops, but i have friends that do and would LOVE this mod, so i am doing it to my car to test it out. PM me if you want this mod. I require a non-refundable 20 dollar down payment, and 80 dollars extra after I have built the circuit and am ready to ship)
-Air Horns- Hella Air horns...sound like ferrari horns
-System Kill switch- For when the car needs a trip to the body shop because it is a car magnet (THREE people have backed into me) and i dont want the guys fucking aroudn with my stereo
-Tailgater lights- Charlottesville Virginia has a problem with people tailgating. I went out and bought strobe lights that are going to sit on the rear deck controlled by a switch to get people to get hte fuck off my ass. I hope the ricer bastards crash. The speed limit is 45, dont tailgate me when im doing 60.

I know I know, this thread is worthless without pics. I wont be able to get pics of the install due to my lack of having a digital camera, but I will try to get pics of my audio install as well as the interior conversion. I just thought I would let everyone know whats going on with my project. Next project is a fiberglass sub enclosure. I WILL get my hands on a digicam and do a writeup when i do this.

So heres the update of what i did yesterday.

1. Took out seats and the whole interior (except for the dash, I am stuck on two screws to get the airbag out from the crossbar, need to get a fucking T50H torx bit
2. Took out all my stereo wiring (re wiring it)
3. Took out all my aftermarket electrical wiring
4. Ran wiring for volt meter
5. Re-wired gauge cluster
6. Painted kick panels
7. Impaled myself on my shifter several time

heading to Napa today for that torx bit, so hopefully i'll get it all in today

Why is this posted in Audio when it has to deal with a b-14 interior

Those kill switches sound interesting...for the tailgater lights, Euro Spec cars have that..rear fog lights but definitely yours is for a different reason

Best thing for tailgaters: 1,000,000 candlepower spotlight from KMart. Day or night, if you blast someone behind you in the face, they WILL retreat. WHat are you using for the tail light kills, some relays wired to a master switch? Just curious.

tail light kills are a bad idea, once you switch them off and forget to turn them back on and get rearended your ass is grass.

Hmm maybe a LED on the switch that lights up when its turned off might do the trick

Punkrocka436 · Oct 31st, 2004, 05:27 PM

the taillight kill is just to use in a short burst. And the lighted LED switch wont work because the switch stays on all the time, and you just flip it to off to turn them off. It kills both taillights, brake lights, and license plate lights.

Binger- even if the taillights are off, you can still see a cars headlights, you would be a moron to rear end someone if their headlights were on

Who cares if it isnt a good idea, i can sell this for up to 200 dollars (i pretty much sell it for whatever they are willing to pay)

I thought about the spotlight, but its easier to just flip a switch and have two strobe lights that flash 120 times a minute to get them off your ass quickly. It doesnt work in the daytime, but then i just resort to doing 30 in a 45 mph zone

i like the strobes inside the taillights idea

Punkrocka436 · Oct 31st, 2004, 05:33 PM

strobes arent in the taillights, they are sitting on the rear deck. They have a good effect though. A friend of mine has two 55w hella driving lights mounted backwards on his truck, and these things are bright as shit. two 55 watt hellas mounted on my rear deck would look tacky, but these strobes look third brake-lightish

pete? · Nov 1st, 2004, 11:28 AM

meh.. i dont know may look kinda tacky you could maybe wound them inside your revers lights? they would be out of view incase the popo haggle you or you could scrape some of that black stuff off the rear glass and mount them insidewhere the third brake light is on other cars

Punkrocka436 · Nov 1st, 2004, 01:52 PM

the strobes are really small.....http://www.homestead.com/prosites-ll...OBELIGHTS.html that is the place i got them. 10 dollars a piece isnt bad.

I dont want to cut into my taillights either. They arent visible unless you are looking for them, and you certainly cant see them if you are driving behind me

When these strobe lights are supposed to activate:

- When u apply brake, or,
- When u start a turn signal, or,
- ???

How the cops are going to look at these strobes? local, state laws, etc...
