Just outta interest .. does that mean the r32 dash is out of the question, or isit rumoured ,or isit known that its do-able out there as a swap?

I'd prefer r32 dash over the a32 because the a32 one looks almost the same as the stock a31 dash.

Any more thoughts or info?

yeah it is american... but much cheaper than japanese guages...

yeah id rather have the R32 dash as well... but if the A32 is less hassles i think i might go with that and **** the whole custom idea off...

That dash upgrade looks the go

found autometer arent super reliable might vary from series but i had 17psi on my am phantom series guage and 13.5psi on a dynodynamics dyno at the same time seen teh same on the carbon series

hmmmm we should be able to get stuff like this from NZ seeing as its parts and not a whole car the price should be the same if not better.

might see if my dad can get me one... he knows a number of people in the car selling industry over there.

The R32 Dash fits in the S13 Sivlia, so it should go close to fitting into an A31. The part that butts up against the window has to be planed down to match the profile of the window.

The rear bar which holds and reinforces the dash pad bolts straight in, but I would recommend having a complete dash, i.e something still in a 1/2 cut if the conversion was going to be undertaken!

i'm still in progress to fix the r32 dash into my cefiro..needs some modifications on the air cond vents,but still i think the front part has to be cut off little bit to make it even with the front screen....hell of a job to do...worse still the air cond vents can break easily..

Would you mind taking a few photos as you do it cefiro-rb20 ? That'd be great cos I think alot of people are interested in r32 dash in ceffies.

Also when you mean you have to cut it off you mean the part that sits next to the windscreen/firewall is too long and has to be cut down to make it fit flush at the front?

ta!

i haven't complete the transplant...but from wat i've seen it doesn't really fit.First i thought the front part ( near the windscreen ) has to be cut off by 0.5 inch but then the gear console has to move also, and the glove compartment does'nt go in cause of the air cond cooling coil casing..my mechanic says it a hard job to do.Wat his going to do is to trim the side wall of the dashboard...n there still a loop hole on the left & right side of the windscreen...its hard to describe in writing cause i not to good in english.

About the pics I will try to post some...

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
