Adam Remington posted over in the Facebook "240/260/280Z lovers" group about a month ago that he just received one, and was very pleased overall.  Hasn't mounted it yet, and I asked him to keep the group updated when that happens.  Once I see that there are no major fitment issues, I'm likely going to place my order.

Thanks, I will need one also, so waiting to hear some feedback. 

Two of my customers were happy to share their reviews on the dash

 

 

 

Attaching some pictures of another customer. 

 

I sent an email for  Series 1 dash for my Jan 1971 240Z.

Looks like 280z dash are right around the corner. 

I just purchased a dash from Vintage Dashes for the restoration of my 1973 240Z.  Their shop is close to me in N. California and they had a stack of Series 1 and Series 2 dashes in boxes, apparently most were spoken for.  They said they'll have a booth at the Monterey Historics later this month (the races are featuring Datsun/Nissan - the first time ever a Japanese mark has been honored)

I'll take the dash to S.California next month where my Z is being restored by Motorman7 (see the thread "We're bringin back the Flat Tops") and get his expert opinion on this vs Just Dashes dash.  But so far it looks great to me, especially for the price.

Dash caps look terrible in my opinion. As soon as I see one I am disappointed in the car and suspect of anything else that has been done to it. It’s just a half step in my opinion. New dash, restored dash or original dash. A cap just looks fake to me.
Sorry if I offend anyone that has one, but I just can’t get past the look....

I can overlook the caps.  All who try and preserve these cars I give a tip of the cap.  Well done.

I can also. Better than looking at a severally cracked dash like mine. When I installed a full face on mine it was a daily driver. And my cracks ran down the front of the dash and into the gauge pods so a dash mat was out of the question. 

And as long as its replaced with a new dash when convenient, some day, hopefully. Every time I turn around I'm spending money on the house. Just went thru a $5100.00 re-pipe. Not fun! Could have bought a new dash 6 or 7 times with that money. Anyway........

Im just about to send cash to vintage dashes for new dashpad. Any comments?

I'll leave it to the members to speak for that.

I love their dashes. Very good deal and good quality. Will be using them for my white Z in the near future. 

I just received my 280Z dash from Vintage Dashes.  It looks great!

My Vintage Dash discussed earlier in this thread is now installed in my '73.  Here is how it looks now. (Installed by Motorman7)
