i looking for a new or reman dash for my 240z and i'm having hell locating one.

first off i know they are expensive but where can i find one for wholesale pricing or something. i know retail on a new one from nissan is over 2000 and i'm looking to spend about half of that.

i dont want a refurbished one because i want one that the foam is fresh on and not hard and brittle... plus i dont like the idea of having any kinda coating that doesnt look stock.... and i have yet to see one that has been refurbished to factory quality

the reman dashes are supposed to look completely stock, NOS dashes have been on the rise lately, I've seen them as cheap as $1000 but they are few and far between

NewOld Stock

basically a new part thats out of production

MSA only lists the series 1 dash and it's $2500!, you'll need the series 2 dash

yea thats nuts!!! also what is the difference in a series 1 and a series 2? can a series 1 be used on mine? i read it has something to do with the emergency signals and the 12v plug but i've looked at pictures of a 71 or 72 and i cant see any difference in the one i have in my 73...

is there not any aftermarket companies making remans? you'd think there would be by now

series 1 has the lighter plug next tot he fuse box, series 2 has it in the dash, not sure what other differences there are or how difficult a swap would be

talk to pete.

Here are some previous repairs.







I talked to him and he seems very knowledgeable/helpful. He made sure that I sent him the gage bezel's and air-vents and glove box door to make sure everything fit just right.

I will post pictures as soon as I get it back.
