V36 dash and interior trim cracking / replacement parts

[protik]

Hi guys

The dash and some interior trim pieces is starting to give away in our V36 2008 370GT coupe. Is it still possible to order spare parts specially for the dash? If so, what's the best way to order the OEM parts in?

Otherwise I was thinking of getting a dash mat or custom ordering one: https://www.fitmycar.com/au/nissan-skyline-sedan-v36-2006-2014-dash-mat-shevron/5041

Wondering if this is the OEM to replace the dash (68200: panel & pad assembly, instrument): https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline_coupe/ckv36/7297-vq37vhr/body/680/68200/?frame_no=Ckv36-000000

yes, that would be the correct part, but you would be looking at A$1k plus freight for one.

I had the same thing happen on my 05 V35 sedan a few years back.  I ended up finding one at a wrecker at the other end of the state and ordered it after they said it was in 'excellent condition'... It turned up with more cracks than mine had, so I had it re-covered by an auto upholster who really did a sub-par job, but at least it isn't cracked now..

@sonicii Ah good idea to try source dash trim part from wreckers. Do you recall roughly how much it was sourced for?

I think I paid about $150 plus freight, but don't make my mistake, check it out before you buy it if you can.

Hi there

About 2 years ago I was searching for a new dash pad for my 2008 370GT ( old dash was sticky and falling apart) In Australia and Japan, either not available or over $2000 from Japan.

I did find that a new part number had been listed.

I gave the new part number to my local Nissan dealer, at South Tweed NSW.

BINGO !  5 genuine Nissan dash pads held at Nissan Vic.

One week later I picked  up the new dash from my local Nissan dealer. $1280 including freight.

I think the new part number was the same as the previous one, but finished with C

I hope this helps.

@gillies2001 Is your vehicle the base model (non S/P variants)? Same as mine in that case. Would it be possible to share / PM the part number you had ordered and invoice (if still accessible)? I will then take that info to my local Nissan dealer to see if the same OEM dash pad can still be sourced locally. 

Was it much hassle / costly to get it fitted?
