My dash has had this gash in it since i bought it (first Australian owner, think they had an RSM or something sitting there)

I've been putting off buying a new dash for a couple or reasons but i was just wondering if anyone has heard of/had something done where they mould a piece of vinyl or something into position so that it covers up something while moulding in with the rest of the dash.

Sorry its a bad explination but I think you get the idea

This is the gash that im talking about, sorry for the not so good photo....

Any help is much appreciated :bunny:

also if anyone has a series 1 R33 dash they want to sell let me know as I may be interested in buying it if there is not an easier solution

Cheers

Depending on what your planning on doing to your car in the future etc, you could always go and see an auto trimmer. Talk to them and see what optoins you have. They may be able to cover it in a fabric which takes your fancy?

An Auto Trimmer could mould a piece of vinyl into place pretty easy. They would do a pretty good job, but it would still be visable. I guess it depends if you were planning on doing any Mods. Are you gonna get any gauges or a Air Flow Controller? You could mount it up there and it would look really good! but if your going for the stock look you might need to get a new dash, or get the auto trimmer to re-do the whole dash. You could get something really nice at the same time, get the auto-trimmer to put that leather looking material over all of it like the new GTR. I think that style looks awesome!!

thanks for the advice guys. I was originally thinking of getting a stainless steel thin plate made up with the nismo logo on it and a border then putting it over there but not sure if that would look any good

Not planning on showing the interior up to much so I might take it to a re-trimmer for a quote or just so they can have a look

Still open to anyone who has a spare dash they want to sell me but

dash mat?

lol nahh

hate them

Atm I'm thinking just replace the thing that way itll all be done and sweet. Only thing stopping me atm is other things having priority of money and laziness i guess lol

Oh well thanks for the advice guys. If I end up getting a quote on a piece of vinyl molded up ove the gash then ill post it up

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
