r32 dash fit in s13??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ryno · 04-25-2005, 07:23 PM

I currently have no dash and have access to a skyline r32 dash from jarco. Does anybody know if will fit or atleast fit with little modification. If nobody knows then I guess I will give it a try this weekend. All the dashes from sr frontclips around here are beat to hell and the r32 dash is in good condition so that's why I am asking. Don't worry the car is already rhd.

As you can see, I need a dash.

MakotoS13 · 04-25-2005, 08:14 PM

ya know, finding a dash would be easier if you had the steering wheel on the right side.

BoroBoroS13 · 04-25-2005, 08:32 PM

Just back the car through.

I think your best bet had already been stated, break out the tape measure and compare it in person. Unless someone here has done it before and can give you first hand experience, I think that's your only option. I know a S15 dash will work with some tweaking, I've seen pics, but not sure about R32.

This is the car.

This is the interior.

chris4130 · 04-25-2005, 09:48 PM

I have a *decent s13 rhd dash. It's got a crack or 2 in it.. nothing too major. I just used my best one on a rhd conversion i did. Let me know if you want it, also.. I'll be picking up a front clip this weekend that may or may not have a good dash. e-mail me if your interested: [email protected]

Ryno · 04-26-2005, 09:20 AM

I'll give it a try to see if fits this weekend. Hopefully no major modifications wil be needed to make it fit but I'll let you guys know in a few days.

Thanks,
Ryno

There's a sizable gap on either side and the windshield edge is raked a little more. We did one a few years back in a car at UH just to see what it looked like. Personally I wouldn't be happy with the fitment but you can always build on to it.

Unstable-Hybrids, long gone now but they were a shop here in the Atlanta area, I knew all the guys from way back and used to hang out once in a while there to pick up parts, etc. They were building a RHD coupe and stuck the R32 dash in it for a test fit.

RedlineRacer · 04-26-2005, 08:27 PM

couldn't you just find some trashed sr dash and then have it wrapped? It wouldn't cost too much and probably look better and be easier than a R32 dash.

That was my next option. I might wrap a s13 dash that I have with some suede, I think it would look pretty sweet.
