VS Dash into a VP
Hi, i am currently building up my vp exc was wanting to know if it is possible to put a whole vs dash with a L3 cluster into a vp exc, what would be needed to get it to work properly i picked up a complete dash from a vs for $60 of ebay and i thought it would be a nice upgrade, if anyone can shed some light on this subject it would really help thankx

look for meanvn on the forums he has done it to his vn wagon

either u will need to fit vs wiring or adapt the wiring to suit. Pick up a vp l3 cluster if adapting as the wiring will be easier.

ill tell u now. Its easier 2 put a vp l3 dash in than mess around with the wiring and sht behind the dash 2 suit the vs l3 dash. Because if u do it wrong there is a high chance it can catch on fire
Wrecking VL factory V8 only a few bits left still have full dash/crash pad
and have a vk 202 motor and 5 speed Make an offer want it gone

ive got the full vs statesman dash and adapted it to the vp berlina wiring. it was easier in the end to get the vn/p l3 and run the statesman dash controls to it. they look exactly the same anyways

they may look the same but the circut on the bak is a bit different

thanks for the advise, is it possible to put the wiring loom from a vs in so the dash and things like cruise will work, i was planing to strip out the inside of the car and start fresh

with ya vs dash you;ll need the vr/vs door trims too as they have the air vent things on the door trims and the vn/vp have them as part of the dash - so your door trim / dash part will look crap without the right trims
Dor trims are easy as almost a straight swap
wiring is a it of a bitch we put a vr dash in a vn using the vn wiring there was only a few hiccups i think headlights, hazard lights, cluster - we solved one by using a vn level 2 cluster with the normal vn wiring so straight swap - the rest was a lot of stuffing round
are the brackets behind the dash the same
like would the vs dash bolt straight in. i am also wanting to do it to my vp HSV. i allready have vs door trims waiting to be put on. just need to put the dash in now. Cheers
