Hi. I'm new to the forum and new to the g35 crew also lol. Thanks to a very special person I was able to get this car for just $1500. It has 160k on it but it runs like a champ and it was well maintained and serviced. The only downside is the dashboard which is full of cracks but i just happen to find an 04 dashboard for a fare price in excelent condition. Other than the clock being in a different position will this be a direct swap? Thank you all!

 

I'm not sure what all entails the swap but the differences between the 03-04 and 05-06 dash are big. The whole center section including the console would need to be replaced as well plus the 05-06 interior just looks a lot better. Might I suggest a tasteful dash cover or repair the cracks yourself. A few members have fixed their dashboards and they look a LOT better than looking at the cracks.

 

Yeah, it's a big deal to swap to the 03'-04' although I have thought about it since they don't seem to have the cracking problem like the 05'-06'. If I fix my 05' dash I'll probably use a dash repair filler kit like in the video below. Lots of work but worth it in the end.

 

 

Make sure you get everything connected to it. The vents, console, etc etc... They are completely different.
