Gauge Cluster Button Pods?

[MrFeesLaw]

Hey guys!

Not really sure what to call these things?... They are the clusters of buttons on either side of the gauges. The previous owner broke the one on the left, and tried to repair it with duct tape... And the one on the right I kicked and cracked while climbing through the passenger side when my driver door froze shut this winter... ugh...

Was wondering what they are called so I can search for new ones, and also where can you get them? If they are even replaceable... I used some plastic quick weld to hold them together for now, so they are still functional, but are a huge eye-sore in my interior...


Here's a pic of mine...
PLEASE Ignore the Styrofoam garbage steering wheel the previous owner installed. It is no longer in the car!!! Thank god...

Plenty of them on eBay and not very expensive.

[MrFeesLaw]

What do you search for? Ac controls?

[rgregoryb]

I searched using 300zx controls and pulled up a bunch

[MrFeesLaw]

Sweet! Thanks man!

You can buy brand new housings from concept zperformance for as cheap as the used ones on fleabay

[rgregoryb]

They are called pod brackets at conceptz

[MrFeesLaw]

Pod Brackets. Got it. Thanks again guys. Will order a set tonight. Need lots of interior pieces but they are spendy to buy new! Like $600 for the center trim pieces that go around the stereo and the shifter.

Another source is Z1 motorsports they have a Z graveyard and will pull parts and ship them to you. I use Coutesynissanparts, concept zperformance and Z1 motorsports between the 3 you can get anything for a Z car

[rgregoryb]

You can get those pieces from those three places for about 200.00(the console pieces)

[rgregoryb]

At Z1 both housings are 65.00 total

^^^good info! Thanks!

I've noticed something with the Z32 that I can't say I've seen with any other car its age (excluding classic muscle). You could literally find a 300zx frame in a scrap yard in nice shape and order ever single other part made brand new by a number of companies online!!! You could literally build a new Z from the frame up. New engine, trans, body panels, electronics, EVERYTHING is available new somewhere! It's crazy! Never seen it before on any car... Maybe supra... But I don't even think they have it all.

I believe these companies bought out all the Z parts from Nissan cause they have a lot of new parts for right hand drive z's also.
