R32 dash

[Scooby]

Hi Guys n' Gals;

The dash cover on my 32 GTR has bubbled in the usual place ie the concave right anlged-ish section just above the glovebox. I doubt it can be repaired, does anyone know;

if there's a good dash repairer in Canberra?

how big a job it is to take the dash out of a 32 GTR ie good / bad/ bastard and how long it takes? Searched on the site but found nothing, not looking for a DIY guide unless you happen to have one laying 'round that you prepared earlier, which would be great. The R33 seems firmly in the bastard category from what i gather on the forums and from Adam at BDL but I'm not sure re the 32. I've got the Nissan manual but sometimes the diags etc are so crappy it's hopless.

Regards

If its just the vinyl on top thats bubbled people have fixed it by getting glue and putting it in a very thin tipped syringe. You then poke the syringe through the vinyl (will leave a tiny weeny little hole u cant even see) and squeeze a bit of the glue in then press the vinyl down. This will re-glue it down, seems to have worked for a few people. Might try it myself, got a small bubble developing on the dash

Hi Nik;

thought about that too but it's pretty far gone, I think the vinyl has shrunk to the point that it just won't stretch back into place.

taking the dash out is really easy, should only take 1.5 hours for one person, but if your not sure about anything or want a hand just PM me

Thanks Supa, the offer is appreciated. I should be OK with it just wanted to get an idea if I need a day or a week, sounds strightforward if 1.5 is all it should take.

Cheers

No dramas dude, just take it easy, take your time, and make sure everything goes back where it came from, i didnt put it all back together properly one time and had a few problems which ended up being something very simple and easy to fix
