i had the factory CD/Tape/Tuner in (Double Din??) and i changed that over to a single CD player now

As a result, there is a nice ugly hole underneath the unit where the factory unit occupied that space

iv read somewhere here that the Z32(300ZX) "Dash Insert" fits perfectly in that space

1. From Nissan, brand new, this insert is $100 <- try justify that

2. Nissan/Zed wreckers dont have any/cant find any

What else can be done to fill up this space?

(nothing stupid like, "oh put a safc pos in there")

id prefer to block it with a peice of plastic or some kind of plastic "pocket" or even some kind of CD holder

any help?

what have others done?

There is a similar thread going round these forums...

Someone posted that a toyota dash pocket fits a1 - about $5 from a toyota wrecker. Failing that, the pocket from a pulsar fits a1 as well. Should be able to get one from just about any wrecker.

don't get stung on a new part !!

Hey I had the same problem

well if u are willing to spend da money u can buy a cd holder/rack that'll fit into the din perfectly, and they're easy to put on...

they're 89 bucks and JB but u can bargain them down to $80...

they look pretty awsome and pops out when u press da button..

howeva it onli holds 4 cds which kinda sucks!!

hey Sydneykid, where did u get the gauge holder from to fit the 3 gauges coz thats exactly what i wanna do but i dont know where to get the plastic gauge holder from. i went to robbos and they got this crappy one where u gotta drill it under the dash or something but i prefer it to be screwed in with the old bracket, if u know what i mean. if u could let me know it would be great. thanks.

I made a plastic panel out of some offcut plastic (actually side of a plastic box i bought for $5 :P ).., cut it to shape, and bolted a couple of extra L-brackets ($4 from bunnings) behind to the car stereo frame. Looks pretty factory looking and cheap as all. Mount a 10mm CCFL behind if you want a nice rice glow look. Aluminium would give you that racer look I guess :)

I actually had a lower bin, just wanted a nice place to mount my S-AFC and I now have one. Could mount guages or whatever in there as well i guess with ease.. just not a massive guage person.

i like the placing of s-afc's or ACVRs in the place where the ashtray is simply remove the ashtray and slip it in, or mount it over the top of the ashtray... seen it done before on s14s and R32s/33s.. this saves the room higher up for 3 gauges....

S-AFC or AVR-R or any of the apexi gizmos won't fit exactly in the ash-tray space at least on my 33.. you have to cut it out a bit further i think. I was thinking that myself but no fit.

you could always remove the stereo entirely and mount in under the passenger glove box.. as long as u had an mp3 one and remote doova u should be right.. could mount lots of guages in there then :P

any nissan product from 92 onwards has the same pocket.

I do a similar thing to most of the imports I do. the pockets are cheap( less than $28) if you know where to get them.

if you are interested pm me.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
