Hello everyone.

This thread is my Diy/walkthrough of a s15 dash conversion in my r32 sedan 

I do really like the r32 dash but having an s15 as dream car. The s15 dash has always been the best looking dash in my opinion. 

Iv had some lazy spare interior parts had gotten the dash i swapped for a part which was cut n stuff for his a31.

But long story short.

Iv taken the factory one out and chucked in the s15 one in to get an idea.. i havent checked what mount fits or not yet.

Ill be cutting my door cards so the door can close also doing my sounds while i have time cause some drivetrain things are broken lol

Will keep an update, Now that iv made the thread. Ill try be more indept as i go along also. 

Cheers.

So day 2 im just mocking it up. Seeing how  much door card needs to be cut up. As you can see from my fine line its not much. I plan to use maybe fibreglass for door cards so its goes back looking mint.

Dash needs to shift over a little bit more towards passenger side to center the sterio etc.

I want to see how the dash brace looks like and see if the s15 one is fairly similar?  

Need to make 3 customs lil brackets to get a hold of the dash and put it on the right height to clear steering adjustment or cut it.

 

Fyi dash will get some suede at the end to make it look 100% better then it is. 

 

Thanks for reading

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
