Can I Fix My Dash?

[89CAL]

My dash has had this gash in it since i bought it (first Australian owner, think they had an RSM or something sitting there)

I've been putting off buying a new dash for a couple or reasons but i was just wondering if anyone has heard of/had something done where they mould a piece of vinyl or something into position so that it covers up something while moulding in with the rest of the dash.

Sorry its a bad explination but I think you get the idea

This is the gash that im talking about, sorry for the not so good photo....

Any help is much appreciated

also if anyone has a series 1 R33 dash they want to sell let me know as I may be interested in buying it if there is not an easier solution

Cheers

might be cheaper to put a GPS or some sort of guage in that spot and kill 2 flies at once

Depending on what your planning on doing to your car in the future etc, you could always go and see an auto trimmer. Talk to them and see what optoins you have. They may be able to cover it in a fabric which takes your fancy?

An Auto Trimmer could mould a piece of vinyl into place pretty easy. They would do a pretty good job, but it would still be visable. I guess it depends if you were planning on doing any Mods. Are you gonna get any gauges or a Air Flow Controller? You could mount it up there and it would look really good! but if your going for the stock look you might need to get a new dash, or get the auto trimmer to re-do the whole dash. You could get something really nice at the same time, get the auto-trimmer to put that leather looking material over all of it like the new GTR. I think that style looks awesome!!

thanks for the advice guys. I was originally thinking of getting a stainless steel thin plate made up with the nismo logo on it and a border then putting it over there but not sure if that would look any good

Not planning on showing the interior up to much so I might take it to a re-trimmer for a quote or just so they can have a look

Still open to anyone who has a spare dash they want to sell me but

lol nahh

hate them

Atm I'm thinking just replace the thing that way itll all be done and sweet. Only thing stopping me atm is other things having priority of money and laziness i guess lol

Oh well thanks for the advice guys. If I end up getting a quote on a piece of vinyl molded up ove the gash then ill post it up
