I dont know why but I have been seriously thinking about completely re-designing the interior of my 280Z. I'm talking about a total dash removal and cleaning up the firewall. I also would like to replace the steering column and re-do the gauge placement. I would like to place my tach gauge with a half moon style (big!) right in the middle of my steering column, just behind the steering wheel. Then have the other important gauges above and along side of that. I know enough about electronics to dis-assemble my current tach gauge and re-make that into a larger sweep, and to also show from 0 to 6500 rpms max. I also want to replace all my other analog gauges to digital and put in some other emergency type oil pressure/temp dummy lights.
I already have a custom heater core and manifold I installed a few years back, so that part would be easy to do a slight redesign to do what it needs to.
I found a company that builds custom aluminum steering columns at a fair price. I will be able to use my current custom Italian hand made steering wheel but I may change that out as well.....
I will have to completely re-wire the Z for a wire tuck and new centralized fuse/relay panel.
What I dont know is what the 280z looks like with the dash and wire harness removed.....Time to do some research!!!
