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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
