s15 dash in 180sx
So I'm not exactly a very Active member on Zilvia i kinda lurk around every once in a while
But Anyways I'm on son240sx.org all the time So i've been working on a s15 dash swap for the last little bit and i'm just working out the bugs now having some issues with electrical switches and crap will explain my issues at the bottom of thread So i started off buying basically the entire S15 Dash in Toronto , all that was missing was the center console 2 vents and the center Bezel, After a Big help from a Forum Member on Son240sx db8 he helped me find the parts i was missing as he's currently in Hong Kong So heres the Progression Photos in order http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...x/IMG_7379.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...x/IMG_7376.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...x/IMG_7378.jpg So As you can see It literally Just Clears the Stock s13 door panels But it does Clear i will assure you that its not touching or anything as long as you mount the dash very flush it will Clear the doors, At the moment I just have the Stock s13 panels later on i might try and find a set of s15 panels and Throw them in aswell The Dash itself needed A lot of trimming and work on the underside to fit in properly, the top mounting points underneath the defog vents line up so its mounted where the s13 dash mounts but it needed lots of trimming to fit. Currently the defog vents are lined up with the stock s13 venting and I'm working on custom venting for the front vents, i have all the stock pieces from both s13 and s15 dash so I'm cutting and making custom pieces to make it all work http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...x/IMG_7393.jpg http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...x/IMG_7394.jpg So I've extended the Wiring for the hazard Flashers Switch had to do a lot of custom work to that switch, I basically took the s15 button cover and cut up the face of the s13 button and fit the s15 cover over top and remounted it in place, so i didn't have to source out a end connection the rear defog is the exact same connection and I've extended the wiring on that as well, I'm not a smoker so I've remounted my mirror controls currently in the ashtray, i may remount those somewhere else later I've successfully Connected my rear hatch Glass Sprayer to a push a smaller Push button and the Hatch windshield Wiper to a Rocker Switch HELP/ Advice Section My Current Electrical issues Fuse 8 keeps blowing i believe that's for my 4 way/signal lights, I think my signal relay might be dead as well ... i can't get any of it to work right now :/ I'm also having difficulty figuring out the wiring for headlight switch to flip them up and down, i want to just wire it up to a rocker switch Most Recent Picture http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...croix/dash.jpg Thanks For Everyone who's taking the time to read through my issues with the conversion thus far any help or suggestion will be greatly Appreciated Any help or ideas just leave comments or if you'd like to get in direct contact with me about anything specific with the Convertion or if you have any Suggestions You can Email me at [email protected] Thanks Nick |

niiiiiiceeee!!!! ;)
|
not help but it does make me want to do this, how much was the dash?
|
I spent about 600 in total
350 for the dash from toronto and 250 for the center console and some missing bits and pieces from Hong Kong Shipped within like 4 days its all in really good condition and I'm sure it would cost you a hell of alot more from nissan dash came with kick panels s15 climate control s15 plastic wheel wells i also received another s15 climate control from the center console So if anyone has heard of anyone hooking up a s15 climate control to a s13 let me know :D And yea Any comments are welcome guys haha I'm not saying all i want to hear is help or suggestions Lay it one me SICK DASH YO ... lol anything just throw your 2 cents in :) |
Pretty cool I'd say.
Is the gauge cluster functional yet or will it be? I just realized how similar S15 dash is to S14 dash w/ a different top piece. |
hit up GXRJJORDAN (something like that) he's insanely good on these cars and wiring, pretty sure ur gonna need to give him schematics of the s15 wiring if ur using s15 switches and wat not, good luck!
|
thought about trying to wire the popups to the turn switch which looks to be for fogs on the s15?
|
^the switch has alot of pins to it ... and i just think the circuit would be to hard to figure out, i talk to a guy in Australia who's provide me with some schematics on the gauge cluster and from what i can tell is its going to be a pain in the ass, currently the car is not actually running as it doesn't have a motor lol that's the next key part lol, as for the Cluster i might just duplicate the look of the s15 by arranging similar sized gauges in a custom cut panel and have it painted and finished nicely, thats kinda finishing touches tho and will not be in anytime soon haha
|
|
^lol you did help me out your the guy i mentioned haha thanks again
|
thats pretty cool. S15 dash's look nice.
|
Nice effort. I hate that the door panels don't flow into the dash though. I don't like the gap between the dash and to a pillars either. It just looks like ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

No problems... I will be able to test my wiring on the weekend.. Although I am confident in the wiring diagrams, Otherwise I wouldn't have uploaded them lol.. Digital dash only referenced in my diagrams, until someone donates me a non digital dash wiring loom so I can make up another wiring diagram.. As a side note, I have modified the S15 door cards to fit the s13 doors, it all flows like it should.. I have a tech doco that I havent updated on the ns thread... |

.. and to the other guy it wasent as easy as Copy and Paste .... and who actually types out Ctrl + C Ctrl + V to describe copy and paste ... its just kinda lame in a car forum lol ^ just my thoughts lol Apart from that thanks for feedback regardless and i've been thinking of different ways to work out the fitment and the gaps and will post any more progress i make |
