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...

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
