I ordered mine from a local guy who does car instrumentation repairs. But any good auto shop can order them in. VDO do a huge range of gauges. In WA Malz auto parts stock them.

oh that looks really clean man, what sort of VDO gauges are they and where would i source some :)

Frank(Jake) has a G200 charade dash from memory. It had to be extensivly modified to fit, it needs to be cut down and then re-fibreglassed.



Another Laney has done a similar conversion,


not sure what the speedo goes up to though? 180kph by the look of it.

S13 can be adapted so i hear, about same amount of work.

My Coupe

Check out my Coupe. I like the retro look of the 1200 dash, so fitted VDO Electronic speedo and tacho. Speedo is easy as the setup with CA18DET or simular and they do 300 kph version as well.

i've got the tacho sorted, loving the look of it. more interested into a spedo that fits into the stock space :)

Plenty of people run 5" tachos and the like where the clock is in the round gauge dashes. So there are ones that fit if you want to keep the original.

I love it. Is there any more info on the swap. everything around here seemed to be 2" too wide that i looked at.

lol true, you are right, blinking at speeds above 250 is almost death :P lol..

done on a private track of course ;)

If you are going that fast in a datsun, you dont want to be concentrating on the speedo. I like the retro look though, goodluck.

do you know if hes doing a write up :)?

curious to see how far torwards the rear of teh cabin it would sit.
