anyone ever try putting a spec v dash in a 200sx?

I suppose i'm the first

I will like to see that

I'll believe it when I see it.

I believe it was done once. But why a specV swap?

My pictures never seem to show up. So I'll post it on car domain. If you want to see, search for zach96za's 97 200sx.

I dont like the 200sx dash. I never have, so i put in a spec v dash just because i could. :D

I fail at reading.lol
For some reason i thought that you wanted to swap a qr25 into the b14.lol

Not bad,car has a lil too much going for my likings but i can appreciate hard work and dedication.What kind of manifold are you using,and what turbo?

pretty cool idea putting a spec dash in.

I can't remember the manifold. That was actually added a while back. I think the name is on the other side of it though. when i take it out to upgrade the turbo i'll find out. It's only a t25 right now. I don't want to do any more engine work until the whole car is completely built.

How hard was the dash to do? Its it finished I'd like to see it with everything all together. what was the total price on the swap?

hmmm... well the dash didn't line up with where the old one bolts on at all. The air vent/defogger doesn't line up at all, so you have to make that work. The line for changing where the air blows is opposite (for example, when you turn the dial on the spec to defrost your windshield, it pushes the line in. the 200 pulls it out. So if you just hook it up without care, your defrost will be air in your face). The dash gets in the way of your key turning, so you have to fix that up too. Let's see what else...Oh, the airbag doesn't line up with anything and you have to cut a lot of metal off and completely redo all that mess to even get it in. The glove box hits the blower motor. you have to rewire the gauges. And... Yeah it was just a lot, but it's in now. I got more ideas for my car while doing all this, so i'll get more pictures when I feel like i have actually progressed.

oh and to answer your other question, I did all the work myself, so it didn't cost me anything.

Looks tight, but too much hassle if it doesn't bolt right in...

Haha true, but I was up for a challenge.

Zach,you are awesome.If i had that much spare time on my hands i would be one bad nx 2000 having sumbitch,Keep up the good work and don't stop until you're finished.Words of wisdom from Paul Masson.
