05 interior in an 03 coupe?

Is it possible to put an 05 dash,gauge cluster,climate controls and radio in my 03 g35 coupe? I just bought the whole interior of an 05 g35 coupe for a really good price and I want to know if anyone has done this swap? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Personally I like the position of the 03-04 clock. Id swap that out but the whole dash pad needs to get changed... too much work just so I can have the clock lower

Not sure why everyone thinks its gonna be so hard... Its probably just a crapload of 10mm bolts holding everything in. Ive swapped dashes in a few different cars, anyone can do it. Its a few hour job that can be done with simple hand tools.

You guys make it sound like he's dropping in a RB26DETT into his car......

I could be wrong (wont be the first or the last) but I'm almost sure that if he were to grab a 05+ "coupe" cluster (auto for auto) (MT for MT) I still stand behind it being plug and play. I read the thread you linked and he had a list of problems the biggest being the fact that he was trying a cluster off a G35X on a coupe.

OP if you search you will see it's been done successfully with out any modifications.

Again, I could be wrong.
