Guest sukow2001 Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I have a 1982 n/a 280zx, with a bad dash. I was wondering where I could get a new dash, or a different dash that isn't stock. I also want to stay away from dash caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobala Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 There is always the junkyard, but an alternative is to have your's restored. Just Dashes can restore your dash. and so can Dash Export Service's and probably for less than the guys above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Dang, reading their write-up it would probably be cheaper just to buy a new one from Nissan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobala Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 A guy over a Classic Z Car Club got a quote from the austrailian company for $582.00usd + $150.00usd for roundtrip shipping from Florida to Washington state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 If you wanted to go super light weight, you could get one of the complete dash caps from MSA and build a tube frame underneath it to support your gauges. Dont know how well that thin plastic would hold up to sunlight and heat though. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EnthuZiast Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I have the same thing going on w/ my '79 and I just bought a good condition dash from a guy parting a ZX. My advise would be keep your eyes open. I would be curious if we could get some sort of different dash for the ZXs. It could be pretty cool.

Boobala Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Jim Kirk from Dashboard Restorations has made an offer over at the Classic Z Car Forum Hi Gentlemen, Just wanted to say how flattered we are by Alan Pughs comments regarding our service. We would like to offer all your members an opportunity which should provide you a less costly restoration, by dealing direct with our factory. If you are able to co-ordinate a multi unit shipment (say 8-10 plus units), we would be pleased to offer you a price break on the actual restoration itself, and also freight costs. It would mean that someone would need to co-ordinate the units, and find an airfreight agent (Danzas AEI, Emery etc), to handle your shipment from a central collection point, direct to our Brisbane factory and return. Airfreight is based on cubic weight so the more units in the shipment, the cheaper the overall freight per unit. Actual airfreight transit time is less than three days. Factory turnaround is about fifteen working days. Just a thought, however, please feel free to contact us for any information or advice you may require. We also restore consoles. Thank you and best regards from down-under. Jim Just though you'd like to know, and maybe get a chance to participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
