R32 One Off Dash

[mwracing]

Tell me what you think..

I took the dash from my Bayside Blue crashed parts car, and now making my own custom modified / fiberglass'd Dash board.

From the pictures I hope you can see where im going with it.

Room for gauge pods......

Now tell me what I have won ....lol

[JD74]

Turn it in towards the driver a bit.....more 'Cockpit-ish' so you can see from the driver's seat better

good work JD74 yes it is allowing more gauges to be enclosed and not stick out of the dash compartment.

And yes, sortof Supra cockpit shaped. the left side of the gauge cluster trim will flow with the left side of the stereo trim. and the Void will be smoothed and filled, then entire dash re-wrapped in either another leather or suede.

also the new gauge area, will keep One vent pointed towards the driver. and above will house 4 gauges, in an OEM shaped feel. Factory gauge clusters will remain in same location, but left side of gauge cluster is where new gauges go, same with single A/C vent. not double like OEM for center.

I really like where your going with this please keep us updated with how it goes. Any chance of more production, or to early to tell?

I know your labeled the topic "One off" ,but, if the markets there...

There is definately a market out HERE....

If this dash doesn't sacrifice anything except for the center vent......I am all over it. If everything else still mounts/works, this will be decent.

I would be interested in one.

thanks Southie

This is my first Dash I have made for an R32. and based on this thread, we will see the details involved in my transformation.




If it is easy, then Yeah i can custom make them, but only time will tell.

I actually reuse the center vent, and trim off one side. worked great, still fully functional, already accomplished that this afternoon.

I like.

Suede the dash. Less reflection is better and looks more racestyle, which matches the gauges. Unless this is showcar, then leather should be better. The image of dash in front windscreen is distracting when there's alot of sunlight with stock dash.

If all goes well, this is for the MWR34, but i did it on a spare dash, and not the dash in the car. Swap if worthy

nice idea Martin. I have an extra BNR34 dash lying around if you want to have fun with that!

[shaz10]

wow this is awesome, i've been thinking about doing something similar, just with the lack of having a garage or a spare dash makes it tough. Please keep us posted, if you could make a mold that would be awesome. i feel my gauges are a bit exposed, this would give more of an oem look. if your looking for design cues, the NSX and Supra both have very good driver oriented dash/cockpit.

Toss in a tablet PC in the new space, like the samsung q1, and together with a datalogger, you've got yourself a mock R34 dash

[doublejceballos]

looks like its going to be pretty sweet when its finished. Similar idea to the Supra, if it is tilted in towards the driver that is, then it creates more of a driver cockpit feel
