Used S13, S14, S15 and 180SX Dashboards From Japan: Prices (2026)

Yes, you can buy a used genuine Nissan dashboard for an S13 Silvia, 180SX, S14 or S15 from Japan, and they turn up most weeks. On Yahoo! Auctions Japan, 64 complete dashboards sold in closed listings ending 26 April to 18 October 2026, for ¥31 to ¥167,200, but the crack-free ones are the minority and sell for ¥22,000 and up. We read these listings and their sale pages on 20 October 2026; dollar figures use ¥160 to $1, and prices exclude proxy fees, freight and import tax.

If your dash top has split in the sun, or a cage bar has already been cut through it, this is what the market looks like and where an overseas purchase usually stalls.

Can you still get a new dashboard from Nissan?

Not that we can confirm. We checked the official pages on 20 October 2026 and Nissan does not state whether new genuine dashboards for these cars are still supplied. Nissan’s reproduction programme, NISMO Heritage Parts, covers the R32, R33 and R34 Skyline GT-R only. The discontinued OEM parts guide explains what that means for the rest of an S-chassis interior. The used market below is the market.

What do used S-chassis dashboards sell for on Yahoo! Auctions?

These are closed (sold) listings, not asking prices. We kept only complete dashboards (ダッシュボード or インパネ, the instrument panel) and dropped dash mats, covers, vents, defroster panels, meter hoods, glovebox lids, the steel frame behind the dash and a 1/24 plastic model kit. Sales marked ジャンク (janku, junk) still count, because those are the bids you are up against. Store prices include Japanese consumption tax.

The spread is about condition, not luck. At the bottom, an S13 and 180SX dash left over from a shell swap went for ¥31 after 4 bids, and several sub-¥5,000 sales were cracked, drilled for gauges or already cut. Two S15 dashes that had been cut for a roll cage (ロールバー用にカット) sold for ¥4,400 and ¥5,500. In the middle sit resurfaced dashes: three S13 and 180SX units repaired over old cracks sold for ¥46,501 to ¥77,000. At the top, a crack-free S13 and 180SX dash fetched ¥122,000 after 26 bids, a fixed-price S14 zenki (early model) dash without a passenger airbag sold at ¥100,000, and the S15 Spec-S L package dash reached ¥167,200.

On 20 October 2026, 31 complete genuine dashboards were live, at current or asking prices of ¥3,000 to ¥90,000. None had a bid yet.

If you only want the top covered, two new FRP dashboard covers for the S13 and 180SX sold at ¥27,280 each in May. A Tokyo shop also lists a universal dry-carbon dash panel under S13, S14, S15 and 180SX titles at ¥120,000: 1,600 mm wide by 390 mm deep, cut to your windscreen line, made to order in about a month.

Why do most dashboard listings not ship to you?

This is the step that stops overseas buyers. Of the 64 sales, 22 listings would not deliver to a private home (個人宅配送不可): collection from a freight depot (営業所止め) or delivery to a business name only. One went further and would not even hold it at a depot for a private buyer. Two more were titled pickup only (引き取り限定 / 直接引き取りのみ), in Saitama and Gifu. Three sellers said they would not answer questions about the shipping cost, and one of them added that the freight bill is only known once the box is collected. And not one of the 64 sale pages had Yahoo!‘s overseas delivery switched on.

A proxy can bid for you, but a dashboard is not a small parcel it forwards in a week. You also cannot see a crack the seller’s photos do not show, and every one of these is sold ノークレーム・ノーリターン (no claims, no returns).

What should the photos show before you buy?

Japanese listings often show the dash from one angle and say 画像にて判断 (judge from the photos). Ask for these, or have them shot for you.

How do you get a dashboard out of Japan, and what does it cost?

Start with the size. None of the 64 listings stated the dimensions. Four sellers quoted a 260-size box, meaning the length, width and height add up to 260 cm. Japan Post’s EMS limits, checked 20 October 2026, are a 1.5 m maximum length with 2.75 m length plus girth to the United States, 1.5 m and 3 m to the UK and Canada, and 1.05 m to Australia and Germany. So whether a boxed dash can go by EMS at all depends on its packed length, and the 1,600 mm carbon panel above would not. Japan Post also says Fragile and This Side Up services are not available on overseas shipments. Anything too long goes by freight, the same route as the bumpers in the oversized JDM parts shipping guide.

Freight inside Japan is a cost of its own. One S14 seller printed a table for a single dashboard: ¥5,280 to Shikoku, ¥10,000 to the Kanto region and ¥17,000 to Hokkaido, to a business address only.

The DIY route only works with listings that will ship to a business, which often rules out the cheapest pickup-only dashes. Ask your proxy before bidding whether it will receive and forward a dashboard of that size. The pickup-only parts guide covers what to do when the answer is no, and the windscreen buying guide covers the glass that sits on top of the dash.

Once the interior is back together and the car is ready to run, the Japan drift tracks directory lists the circuits and what each one allows.
