Found these pics on a mate's Facebook page, from Malaysia

A31 Cefiro with an R33 dash and centre consoles.

Not sure how much rewiring / piping is needed for the air con and other controls..

Might do a little bit of research on this....I'd assume this means the R32 dash can also fit.

Pic's attatched

You could fit any dash really. They're all going to need some sort of modification and the other thing to consider is how well it will line up with the shape of the door cards.

FWIW I've seen a cefiro dash fitted into an R31 skyline, but i doubt anyone is going to rush out and put an R31 dash in their cef/laurel

Are there any more pics? I want to see how the door cards and pillars lined up.

True! I helped a friend fit an R33 dash into an S13. And another fit an R34 dash and seats into an S14. They bolted up fine. The only thing that didn't line up was the door. But they were track only cars so we didn't bother putting door panels back in.

I have also seen a Maxima with a complete R33 interior, not sure how much effort it took.

Here are some pics of r32 dashes in a31s. You can see how the door cards and pillars fit. (or don't fit.)

hahahahhahahah - well at least the poorly fitting R33 dash solves the cracked passenger airvent surround!!!! amirgiht?amiright?

....wait..

..

...am i still allowed to make that joke?

Do you have pics of an r33 dash in a cef? I'm curious to see exactly how bad it fits..

Wonder how much would need to be done behind the dash? (ie brackets, wiring looms, etc)

Esentially it could be done with a complete R32 halfcut (cut well past A pillars).....even if shit like fuse box needed swapping, pull it out of the halfcut.

no offence to the malays..

but i doubt there would be THAT much custom work...

they Msians don't seem too concerned with that sort of crap... especially on such an "old car"

chances are the dash is put in there - but there would be no working aircon, no functioning speedo / odo other dials.. no driving / fog lights, etc etc..

putting an R33 dash into A31 would be easy. 3M tape... few screws here n there - easy..

...getting dash looms, electrics and switches to WORK and communicate from a mid 90's skyline platform to a late 80's platform would be another thing all together i imagine...

one of the nicer dash conversions would be the A31 that ironchef is trying to sell at the moment.. it's a C33 dash with flock trim.. analog clock and digital climate control.

nic personally i think that you should buy it btw - i reckon you'd love it - your love for cefiro should not be stamped out just yet!!!!

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
