Hello everyone.

This thread is my Diy/walkthrough of a s15 dash conversion in my r32 sedan 

I do really like the r32 dash but having an s15 as dream car. The s15 dash has always been the best looking dash in my opinion. 

Iv had some lazy spare interior parts had gotten the dash i swapped for a part which was cut n stuff for his a31.

But long story short.

Iv taken the factory one out and chucked in the s15 one in to get an idea.. i havent checked what mount fits or not yet.

Ill be cutting my door cards so the door can close also doing my sounds while i have time cause some drivetrain things are broken lol

Will keep an update, Now that iv made the thread. Ill try be more indept as i go along also. 

Cheers.

So day 2 im just mocking it up. Seeing how  much door card needs to be cut up. As you can see from my fine line its not much. I plan to use maybe fibreglass for door cards so its goes back looking mint.

Dash needs to shift over a little bit more towards passenger side to center the sterio etc.

I want to see how the dash brace looks like and see if the s15 one is fairly similar?  

Need to make 3 customs lil brackets to get a hold of the dash and put it on the right height to clear steering adjustment or cut it.

 

Fyi dash will get some suede at the end to make it look 100% better then it is. 

 

Thanks for reading

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
