R32 Gtr Dash Bubble

[SiR_RB]

seems like most r32 gtrs have that dash bubble on the passesnger side

the one im looking at has it too, although its not that badd, i would like to get it fixed in the future if i end up buying it

can it be fixed?

does the dash have to come out?

are there mobile guys that can come around to your place and fix it?

any more info on this would be good, thanks fellas !

Haven't seen any that have been repaired, but if the bubble is quite small could you put a pin whole in it to stop it increasing?

i dont think you can repair it. unless you take the dash out and get it retrimmed. but theres no point in that. cant you buy a new dash?

I wanted to know aswell if it could get repaired?

remove dash...drill a small hole through to bubble from rear...be careful to not put a hole in dash exterior...fill large syringe with upholstery adhesive...inject bubble with adhesive until full...work adhesive back out hole while wet...leave for 5 mins...work bubble from edges to centre to stick back down.

easy!

yeah the method dirtgarage described is the only way I've seen it successfully repaired short of just replacing the whole thing (you can still buy new ones from nissan). it takes a bit of care but if done right it works in most cases. make sure you do have a hole in the back as otherwise when you work the bubble down the excess will come out onto the top surface which you don't want.

whats a new dash worth?

[gfunkk]

the lazy way to do it is put glue in a syringe and inject it into the bubble, but the bubble will reappear evey 3-6 months

new dash 100ish? with no vents ofcouse

im going to give dirtgarage's method a hit.

where can i buy them syringes from? or just use any syringe and fill it up with glue?

Can you please upload a photo of this dash bubble?

[SiR_RB]

i wonder if this technique would work from from the front? make a small hole in the bubble, fill with glue and work it until its fixed. of coarse your gona hav a small mark where the hole is but atleast the bubble would be gone !! hmm

Drill hole for gauges where the bubble is....

[SiR_RB]

lol that would work too !!

[BeEnAr]

100is for a new dash??? WTF! I would just do that if it were the case but I can see it being more like 100's ish

[ali-turko]

its not 100 for a new dash, probably for a second hand

[bert_]

my bad second hand dash.

ive seen them go for about 100 - 150 with no bubbles and no vents.

[BeEnAr]

that sounds more like it if it was 100 for a new one, none of us would have bubbles in our dash

[bert_]

how hard is it to pull the dash out and put in a new one?

[SiR_RB]

ok i dropped the glove box down today, made a hole directly behind where the bubble is, filler it up with contact cement, worked it etc etc...

result ? looks worse then when i started ! didnt sem to stick evenly and the middle part is sticking up like a ballon...seriosuly looks like ass
