try and switch it over if you can, if not write down the vin number thats on the dash now, if your car is ever stolen and recovered the police go off the number on the dash (i could be wrong about this but i’m about 90% sure) ---

To switch vin numbers simply get a 1/8" drill bit and drill out the rivet right in the center, do this to both plates. Purchase a pop riveter at home depot. Now align the old plate on the new dash put a rivet in the gun then in the hole, squeeze the handle and now it is attached… 😃 ---

If you download the CA 180sx manual it tells you step by step. That is how I did mine. Darek
