R32 GTR Squeaking noise under dash

Hi, I've had my R32 GTR for a while now and suddenly it's started to make a squeaking noise form the dash area, or underneath, when driving. I've taken the dash off and checked everything (and removed the famous bubble) and put the car back together, but the noise is still there (bummer). I guess the only was now to find it would be to drive the car without the dash and get someone to listen. The sound is as if you cut styrofoam with a blunt knife. As there isn't really too much under the dash my thoughts are that it is likely to be the heater unit...

Has anyone experienced this? Also, if I take the dash off and drive the car, would there be a technical issue (I know it won't be legal) to drive it without the instrument cluster? Any help would be appreciated!!!

Cheers, Chris

Which area? Checked upper control arm bushes?
When I bought my car, they were flogged out and sounded like dolphins.

I could've sworn it's under the dash, but after posting this I finally found some mentions of squeaky noise relating to bushes, so I will definitely investigate that further.

Door latch on the striker plate maybe? The hinges sag over time

Can also check that, but 99.9% sure it's approx. under the dash area. will get someone to come and have a drive to pinpoint better.

Thanks
