I've been wondering if you can replace the s13 dash and center console with 350z's. I know it will not fit perfectly and will need modifying but would there be difficulties as wiring or the width of the dash? think its a good idea?

why not do a custom dash with the Z33 gauges and wiring the mount the gauge cluster to the steering column like on the Z33. but why what a pain in the a** for no accomplishment other than a unique dash that when you sell it you will get no where near what you have involved into it

Actually he just asked a question, albeit an uninformed one. That's a big reason people like myself are on this forum; to ask questions of people who know. Maybe the guy's got a hookup on a free/cheap dash and wanted to know if it had been done before. Sounds reasonable to me. Your response was just asinine. It didn't positively contribute to the conversation and just reflects poorly on you. Congrats.

I would be really hard to make it look perfect, I've seen it done in a 240z and it looked badass. I mean if you aren't paying for it start hacking up that Z33 dash and make it work

And people wonder why Canadians are the running joke in america, It's ***hole comments like this! To the op....if you get free parts, try and make them fit if you want. I think its alot of work though.

Sounds like if done right it would look pretty sick, so go for it man, i mean better now then if you had to pay for an entire dash right? No performance gains though, so i really wouldnt spend too much time on it.

To the guys that flammed him without question:I hope you are all knowing becuase karma is a b%&#*, this guy just asked a question that he doesnt know the answer to and its not a common question that a search might helped. Lay off a little

Man why are you guys flaming on this guy. . . . You can swap out all your dash stuff for the 350z stuff if you want. I've seen a 240sx with 350z interior in it and it looks great.

If a guy can put a Pontiac GTO interior in a 240sx,you can put a 350Z interior in one.Just hack up the dash to make it fit and get the door panles off the 350 that way theyll line up when they meet.

Itll look great when your done.Def. post pictures up of it.

yeah those are kouki door panels i had to cut them up but im going to fiberglass where i hacked it up a bit. the whole process took a while i had to do lots of fabing up but over all everything is flush now my car came with power windows so im repinning the damn switch so i can roll my windows down. i also started to fiberglass the original s13 dash and putting it in my coupe im still debating on what color i should paint it same color of the car? raspberry pearl?
