Custom 80 series dash
Anyone got a custom 80series dash...looking at updating mine to something more modern?Any ideas?Would a 100series dash fit?Thanks
dont think you have eva pulled one apart hey?RV80 wrote:A 105 and 100 series dash would be the same, it's the same car.
they are very different
look very similar
chassis is even diferent
105 has more in common with an 80s than a 100series except how they look
80 series 1980 hilux cab supra twin turbo engine
1hdfte 80 series
LHD fz 80 series GX

LHD fz 80 series GX
yeh it would be pretty hardcore to use even a 105 dash due to the cutting etcphippsy wrote:Nah, this is a full custom using Autometer guages I think.thrashlux wrote:most likely a 105 dashphippsy wrote:There is a guy on Offroad 80's that has done one, will have a look for a link
but a 100series would be near impossible to use due to the way some of the guages work.
I made up a new light plate and fitted a full compliment of 80 series guages to my 1980 hilux cluster with a 220kph speedo and 8000 rpm tacho from a supra (due to the 2jz twin turbo being fitted)
not an easy task but nessary

What does the chassis have to do with a dash? You can make any dash fit any car with a bit of work. Who says you have to use the guages out of the new dash?
think there is a bit of confussion here are we talkingRV80 wrote:thrashlux wrote:dont think you have eva pulled one apart hey?RV80 wrote:A 105 and 100 series dash would be the same, it's the same car.

dash as in instrument cluster
or
dash as in crash pad
there would be no point at all in fitting an instrument cluster if you were not going to use the guages
the chassis was merely and example of how different they are
as it is a major component of the vehicle
all the wiring is different and engine management systems multiplexer systems, fuels systems, suspension, aircon, aircon control just to name few
not to mention everything mechanical is different
so the 100 and 105 are not the same car
