Malaysian cars are RHD, so it's gonna be on the right side for him.

does it fit inside the S13? i'm assuming that Nissan followed suit with the S14 when building the S15 and went a step larger...so the S15 should be substantially larger then the S13 shouldnt it?

here is local s13 with s15 dash

i think there were slight gaps.

Actually, I'd guess it would be close to an S13. My S15 seems smaller than S14s.

pooky · 09-22-2005, 10:29 PM

ive seen two cars installed already but their using s13/180sx door panels.
but they are using s15 complete front cut.

im just confused with the meter wiring.
ive download s13, s14 and s15 service manual already.
but between s14 and s15 meter, its quite different.
still triying to figure it out.

SilviaDriver · 09-22-2005, 10:38 PM

s15s are smaller than s14. there will be gaps on each side near the door

drift freaq · 09-23-2005, 12:09 AM

I don't know about the dash, but I know about the gauge cluster. hehehehhehehe

Maybe he is talking about the fitment of the s15 guage cluster into the s13.

he's putting it in an s13, though.

pooky · 09-26-2005, 07:45 PM

most probably ill just cut the s15 cluster wires and tap it into the s14 wiring. either that or ill have to use the complete s15 interior wiring and takeout the s14 wiring.

u got any pics?

**ThatGuy** · 09-26-2005, 08:11 PM

Proof that it can , and has, been done before. These pics are old, but it's a full S15 in a S13 set-up. Engine and everything.

Not great pics, but it's all I got.

pooky · 09-26-2005, 08:49 PM

but mine is quite complicated...

s13 engine
s14 interior, complete s14 wiring (s14 meter cluster)
putting in s15 dashboard

the stuff i bought,
-s15 dashboard complete (pillars, side step, aircond)
-s15 complete interior wiring (fuse box, relays and etc)
-s15 center console
-s15 meter cluster

pooky · 09-26-2005, 08:52 PM

my car used to run with an apexi power fc, but the ecu blew...

got water inside... thats why ive changed it to microtech, less complicated, less sensors... more tidy engine bay...

pooky · 10-07-2005, 08:12 PM

here is an 180sx with s14 dashboard

projectRDM · 10-08-2005, 07:46 AM

^ That looks like an S15 center console too.

Johny5 · 10-08-2005, 09:06 AM

ooooh break me off a piece of that s15 console. any chance they make some with the e-brake on usdm driver side?

FRpilot · 10-08-2005, 02:17 PM

now i want to put s14 dash in my usdm car! lol

slownslurious · 10-12-2005, 10:18 AM

I wonder how many of the mounts line up for that... I mean if its purely a race car and you have no AC or ducting it would be simple, but in real life fitting all that stuff might be the real problem. All a dash board is pretty much is a empty plastic cover.

HyperTek · 10-12-2005, 11:22 AM

theres a s13 on yahoo.co.jp with the s15 dash and even door skins..

Do you have any pics that show how the S14 dash lines up with the S13 doors? This si soemthing I want to play around with in the future, and am curious.

Edit: Damn...didnt realize how old this thread was. But any help or pictures would be nice eitherway.

chmercer · 08-20-2006, 01:31 AM

bump from the grave

the door panels wont line up

Ninjabread · 08-20-2006, 08:49 AM

Man that s14 dash makes it look so much cleaner... But what a waster of money IMO, it has no functionality.
