Retrofitting a Custom Retrowave Dash in my Z31
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2023
- 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!
What do you mean not fluid? The display or the raspberry software
I will buy it too!!!!
Got an ls swap 3000gt I want to put this 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!
Absolutely this.
Certified good enough
There would be laser-cut wangs in your cluster. I'd watch it.
But then that's a problem for future Matt...
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!
He is amazing wish i had a quarter the brains this man has take care
CANBUS message sifting is one head fk of a job, well done! Instant sub BTW! Some crazy awesome work!!!
Without the car it goes on and the ability to sniff the packets, that really is nightmare fuel
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!
He was doing it so fast i thought he was doing it as a joke 😂
@@kami_dred7319 95% confident this was intended as a joke, the increasing redbull cans between cuts, the frustration... all cut together like it was it seemed fake but after rewatching im pretty sure it was intended as a joke...
This might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen done to any car instrument panel.
This has to be one of the coolest mods I’ve ever seen
watching videos like this make me wish i was smarter. killer job!
literally what i was thinking i was like like man.. i wish i was this smart lol
much of it is reading and trying stuff... or alternatively deep pockets
@@baiomarlaye3165 there's real dash I've been contemplating for ages but you still have to be able to translate the canbus and stuff it's always been a project I've wanted to do but time and electrical brains aren't there lol
@@digital0785 does having an aftermarket ecu help any? Cuz I imagine you still need to know the op codes for the tech
@@baiomarlaye3165 some of them have plugins for realdash
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!
This is the definition of "Some people do what they can, others what they want" Great job!
I dream of doing a project like this. Modern cluster in an older car is such a cool project. Well done!
this is what makes me love technology the only limitations on what you can do is only our imagination
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.
I'm blown away u just built a board and can program code. Your skills are amazing. Wish had your ability
This is so incredibly dope! I don’t have a Nissan, but from a fellow 80s car owner, I would love to see stuff like this in the e30 community.
I think it would be cool to do something on the left and right bottom corner, like a wide band on one side and something cool on the right side too.
Love it dude! Keep it up!
DESPERATELY need this on my Volvo 240
I’ve seen a couple similar things like this but this is so much more, love it
I don't even own a z31. But i watched it all. It's incredible. The perfect tribute to the 80's
The original dash on these is still amazing compared to a lot of cars even today. What you did however was also incredible.
Would definitely buy this for my z31. And insanely impressive work was put into this.
This channel really is worthy of its name, "Design Lab". Especially the "Lab" part. Well done and thank you for sharing, you're inspired me to make something similar :)
You are what car culture customization is all about!! Keep up the amazing work!
Great job man! As someone that has build can interface electronics people underestimate how long it takes to reverse engineer these stuff and implement something that works. Love the dedication, Godspeed!
Dude, this guy is insane with it! This should have more views
Such a nice mod, In new cars I either prefer a fully digital dash display or the nice blend like this where the scales and needles are anaolog but the background is a nice screen. Its a nice blend and you still have a working speedo if the screen decides to crap out :)
No way! i saw you post about this build on Twitter ages ago and its only just now randomly popped up on my UA-cam! Super mega duper cool ass build man, you're one very talented individual! I wish i had one tenth on the brain power required to do mods like this!
Even though I prefer the styling of the Z32, I admire your ingenuity and craftsmanship on this project!
I was saving up to swap my dead Z31 cluster, but this is FREAKING AMAZING, I NEED IT
This is one of the best things I've seen on UA-cam in a minute, good job, made it look easy lol
The level of work that's gone into this is mind blowing. That can terminal was very slick. Kudos!
freakin awesome - what a nice tribute to the 80's with a modern touch !!!
Man z31 stuff keeps popping up everywhere, and this is the type of stuff that really makes me miss mine. I had an 84 50th AE with a Kaminari front bumper and the original Spearco intercooler kit. It had less than 50k miles on it when I bought it in 2013.
Oh so you’re like smart smart huh? This was awesome!!
The intro with the Metal gear sounding music had me nostalgic
I am super interested in all of the research that you put into this. i understand the time that went into doing this. its the coolest thing i have seen on youtube in a long time.
Dude, this video production is on point and the outcome of your labor is incredible. Would love more details on the cnc process and what you use for overlays. From the viewpoint of the video is looks nearly flawless! Well done.
My CNC mill is nothing too special, just a sainsmart 3018 with a custom enclosure, needs some upgrades to improve it but it does fairly well. I got the text portion of the face screen printed at a local shop, and they did great work with it!
Love it. I am also very particular about dash design, so I am stoked to see a well designed dash instead of another iPad slapped on the dash.
Bro, you make me feel simple. Great job, looks amazing.
I need this right now omg, this is absolutely incredible.
That is super cool man! Great job!
Well done Dude I am in awe.
Looking forward to seeing more info!
I'm at a loss for words here, this is unbelievable. bro is doing magic over here.
That's impressive
I really like your first design concept at 5:20. It captures the original Nissan design and takes it further and better. Let me know when you start selling this kit. I want to install it in my 84 50th Anniversary 300zx. Great work.
Just got reccd your channel. Well done mate. Bet there would be a huge aftermarket for this for all those 80s and 90s vehicles everyone is restoring and saving
Wow....that is SICK! Just randomly came across this video while looking up carputer dashes.....subscribed! I am building a vintage restomod and would LOVE to do something like this in it!
You are the man! That is so sick! Great work!
This is so Cyberpunk. Absolutely nova choom!
This is my beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
So amazing!!! I love these types of videos!
This is amazing, but I really like the features of the stock digi dash: Two trip odometers with push-pin controls, gallon countdown, etc. Nissan really knocked it out of the park for driver ergonomics and function with the original. This is eye candy and it is nice. :-)
Dude did a better job on the UI than 90% of auto makers hahaha
Dude, mad respect to you
Excellent work, mate.
That is a really cool mod - nice work
Your one clever man it looks amazing well done ❤
this was soooo sick to see, i would absolutely buy one for the 1986 im tryna cop
So sick and clean
Beautiful! I’ve been doing a good bit of research on making custom digital dashes (I’m planning to retrofit a junky Saab Sonett 3) and this system is almost exactly what I had in mind! Hoping to see some documentation soon!
Duuuude. I've been wanting to do this to my mk5 gti! So dope. Great job man. Some day I'll learn how to do it hopefully!
amazing work
wooooooooooot 😍 bro this is the most cool thing i ever seen as mod for car.
You're gonna make a decent amount of money when you start selling these custom clusters mate. I hope you do as I got a Z31 on the way and would like to buy or try to make it from your design.
I'm glad the car scene is still thriving in 2024 and hopefully till infinity 💓💙
This is the exact esthetic I eventually want to do on my custom motorcyle. All be it more compact, of course. I may end up doing a wide screen digital display, though.
way cool. ive got analogs in my 87 but this looks pro. huge ups on this project!
making your own dash is so cool man!. thats AWESOME
Ok you got me hooked. I wanna do this for my chevy ambulance
Bruv got big brains ! Very nice work my man!
Damn, I want one of these in my z33! That looks sick dude!
This took four years? That’s incredible dedication
@@carsonsanders2101 in the projects defense I definitely was off and on with it before I got to this point!
Bro that looks bad ass!!! Keep going with it!
The custom faceplate is such a nice touch. I just went the complete opposite direction of converting canbus messages to my old analog dash. Now everyone still thinks my bronco is a rusty hunk of junk
awesome work!
Bro is out of this world🔥🔥
crazy skills you got there
now i feel dumb... good work m8!
Sick man! So awesome!
Wow that’s pretty 🤩
just subbed! in a few years when you put it in the car, im gonna be so excited!
OMG! 13:11 !!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I want this for my G35!!! Dude you are incredibly talented!!! Thank you for posting this video !!!
Q guapo! Very good job!😊
I had a 2+2 88. Automatic. Lots of hate for that.
Commented before completing the vid. Wow! Great freaking work!
That looks sick.
thats crazy good job
Very well done. ❤
You somewhat could do the same with raspberry pi5, Qt designer and m.2 drive for fast boot?
this is amazing
If definitely buy this for my z31
Bro you're a genius
This is so cool! Ive got an 87 Volvo 240 wagon and would love to do something similar in it.
Wish I was as creative and smart as you
I… I would throw so much money at ur face to try to get u to make me one… don’t even own a zx don’t even care. Spectacular work, and kicks square in the nostalgia so nicely
Came out so good. Some PlastX polish will shine that cover up nice too
What I'd really like to do is make a new cover that doesn't have the holes in it from the old trip odometer pegs. I know the scuffed cover was a point of contention for some folks though, haha!
I would buy one of these from you no matter the cost for my z31 its insanely cool
Thats very good. Id live to have a setup like this for my 05 s60 volvo.
Finally, a Synth Car God!
This is hella cool
Holy shit, looks phat as hell. I got a mustang with that digital dash you shown first. Gotta see if I can add my own images to it like you did
Good GRIEF this is TOO COOL.
Dude good job
