Could possibly make it Thursday if you want to look at the facelift models (2001+) with the changed dash etc.

Mine is factory stock at the moment, so will give you an idea of what to expect.

I replaced my factory one with TRD one..

The ODO value is stored in the dash unit, so for example if i had 131,XXXkms on the factory dash, that value would stay with the factory dash.

If you buy a new aftermarket dash, the ODO would start at zero. or if you buy second hand, like i did, you'd ...

Quick question, has anyone replaced a dash in a tezza before ?

I'm curious on the process of putting an upgraded dash, like TRD etc. If I got one 2nd hand, would it make any different how many Kms the dash had done in the previous car ? Or would it just come set to 0Kms ?

I'm not sure how the ...

Your car will most likely have an entirely different setup then.

The LSD are mostly in the RS200 models from what I've seen so far, the newer models of IS300/AS300 etc will be different to what's listed in the thread.

Not sure anyone has much info on those models yet.

You're after gauge install, not audio ?

You could try Fastlane or Redline, see if they can give you some pricing.

Qualitat 'modellista' dash for Altezza 6MT

I was wondering if anyone has heard of any of these as spare parts anywhere in NZ ?

Or whether it's at all possible to get one from overseas without costing an arm and a leg ?

I want to get one fitted to my car, but they seem to be ghost items, unless you're buddy buddy with someone in Japan :(

Ahh, true true. I was just wondering if they would recover some costs from the car, by selling off some of the parts at reduced/trade prices :P

Never mind then :)
