That's probably the most beautiful S13 interior I've ever seen. Only thing I would change would be two Zeta 3's instead of the Gias. Helmet scraping the headliner = nono.

BEAUTIFUL. Only thing I would change is the direction of the fabric on the center console. The seats face one way, but the console faces the other.

The pan of the Gias touches the floor. I'm not sure how you could get much lower. The top of my head is a tad over 6" from the headliner..... I am 5'10".

Trust me, I thought of that long before I even cut the first piece of fabric. If I did that then it would be upside down when you were sitting in the seat looking at it. Then would you also suggest that I do the glove box the same direction? There is no perfect direction to do it. If you look at the seats the backs are fine, but then the bottoms look wrong only because they have to read in the same direction as the backs. It would be different if you were only viewing the seat from the front. But since you look in the window from a slight angle back to front, the seat bottoms appear backwards.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It was very difficult to try and get pics of the back seat and rear deck. So I may just snap some of my own, albeit they'll suck, just so you guys can see the finished product of those items. The rear deck is one of my favorite parts.

Also wanted to say thanks to Kyle for the hard work. For those that don't do high level photography, there is probably more time into it than you realize. There is a lot of setup sometimes and taking hundreds of shots to get just a few that you are happy with. That doesn't even count for the time it takes to edit, upload etc. etc. This shoot took around 3 hours. We also did some engine bay shots and messed around..... but it still takes time.

Very nice! I'm jelly... she looks hot.

Sorry to thread-jack. My question to you is, do you think that the 240 dash cover by CoverLay is a good investment? I can't find an affordable dash in my area. Especially one in mint condition. I'm thinking of going with one. I want my interior to be as good as yours.

I believe in his previous thread he mentioned that they are modified 350z pedals.

Well, I would personally accept nothing but a non-cracked dash in my car. However, if your dash is really bad, then you could do the cover until you find a good dash.

For the clutch and brake I had to cut the metal pad on the OEM pedals to get the Z33 covers to fit over. I simply cut the ends off while they were still in the car. The gas pedal I can't even explain how I did it or even really remember for that matter. It wasn't a total whore though. I would have to take it completely out just to refresh my memory on how I did it. You definitely have to unbolt the gas pedal assembly from the car, as you will need to modify the 240sx pedal mount and the Z33 pad. Once you get the Z33 cover pads and the 240sx gas pedal out, you'll be able to figure out a logical way to do it. I think I also had to drill a small hole in the backside of the Z33 pad and use a cotter pin to hold it to the 240sx pedal mount.

Hey Broadfield, my patience has paid off. Went to a local U Pull It yard, and found a beautiful non-cracked dash (for $55.00). It looks good. Cleaned it up a bit and now it's ready to go in the S13.What do you use to protect the dash from the harmful rays of the sun? It's freakin' hot here in the southwest. What should I use to give it a nice shine +protection?

High five for one of the cleanest if not the cleanest home made coupes in the states.

Personally, I use Aerospace 303 protectant from my local Ace Hardware store.It shines up the dashboard very well and keeps it looking that way for a long time.

I'm not sure what Broadfield uses though.

Cool, thanks for the info. Does it protect the dash from cracking?

It is absolutely amazing how many times I get asked this question. As a matter of fact I was just answering this question in my interior thread over on Zilvia.

Believe it or not, I use a product from Snap-On called Protect One. It is now discontinued, but I bought a couple cases of it..... so I have like 20 bottles of it. The stuff is amazing, which is why I use it over anything else. Basically it leaves your dash looking nice and rich like it did when it was brand new. No shine, no grease.... just nice, rich and full looking.

No problem. I wasn't trying to come off as annoyed. I was simply stating how often users ask me what I use. Unfortunately you won't find anything like it. But for a small fee I can ship you a bottle if it's worth it to you.

$22 shipped, but it's a 32oz. bottle and it goes a long ways.
