Retrofitting a Custom Retrowave Dash in my Z31

In this video, I go over some of the common questions I get asked about my custom digital dash I made for my 300ZX, and show some of how I built it. I may make a follow-up to this video, if there is enough interest!

At the time of publication, I am not offering these for sale.

I am working on determining an outlet in which I may publish some of the information I have, relating to this project. I will update this description once this is available.

Find me over on Instagram!

Bro, from a fellow z31 owner, I WANT this!! I tried to do something similar with a raspberryPi but as you stated, it was not fluid at all. Ended scraping that idea years ago. If you ever decide to sell, whether it's just hardware, software or as a kit, count me in on a buy in!

I'd love to see what happened if Blitzen collaborated with SuperFastMatt. You'd get SuperFastMatt's cool mechanical engineering and fabrication skills and Blitzen's programming and electrical engineering skills all bundled up into one!

This is the definition of "Some people do what they can, others what they want" Great job!

Dude, that thing is so clean I can't even begin to express the satisfaction I got from watching it be made. I'm begging you, please make a follow-up of the dash being installed into the car.

3:40 my man's writing code like a Hollywood hacker. Very cool.
And the project is fantastic, well done (from someone who wants to do this to another car).
Further, the Devkit you built for the Ford dash is really neat!

I can't believe that I just watched this! My man, you are on a whole nother planet with this! If ever a retro-fitted dash could look good in an older car, this is it. I literally cannot say much more because I need to pick my jaw up off the floor.

I am a professed "Nerd/Dork/Designer/Tinkerer/etc", but to have this kind of knowledge is just unbelievable. You Sir are the top tier intelligent!

CANBUS message sifting is one head fk of a job, well done! Instant sub BTW! Some crazy awesome work!!!

[notyushi]

This has to be one of the coolest mods I’ve ever seen

[jessef]

watching videos like this make me wish i was smarter. killer job!

[davidduke]

This might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen done to any car instrument panel.

this is what makes me love technology the only limitations on what you can do is only our imagination

[juliom]

I don't even own a z31. But i watched it all. It's incredible. The perfect tribute to the 80's

[LegacyThoughts]

I dream of doing a project like this. Modern cluster in an older car is such a cool project. Well done!

[osutk]

Getting that image animated too would be heavenly

[kylewise]

I dont own a z31, but I've got a mk3 supra and dude! This is the exact reason i cant just go buy a new dash. Nothing on the market has this level of style or is this seamless. Well done!

I once had a friend that never took the files needed for EGA and VGA modes when copying games ... to save some space on the floppy since his video card would only support Hercules and CGA anyway ... I kind of hated him for that, but to see this dashboard with such colour palette brings great nostalgia vibes. Neat !!!

I passed over this video a few times, thinking it was a plastic overlay on LEDs, but this was exactly what I was looking for.

[NYHeeb]

I'm blown away u just built a board and can program code. Your skills are amazing. Wish had your ability

[soonenough]

I don’t own one of these cars, but I’m a huge sucker for 80’s retro stuff, and I love to tinker. I watched this video all the way through and loved it. Well done man!

This is amazing. I wish i could do this to my 40th anniversary 4runner. It has many 80s easter eggs as a throw back to the 1984 4runner.
